Ingredients

The following ingredients have 36 Servings
  • 3/4 pound butter (3 sticks) ((room temperature))
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon mint extract
  • 3 1/2 cups flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 drops green food coloring
  • 6 ounces chocolate chips or chocolate candy melts ((about 3/4 cup))
  • 10-12 Cool Mint Oreos

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl, then add vanilla and mint extracts.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour and salt. Once combined, slowly add to wet ingredients while mixing.
  • Once dough has formed, add a drop of food coloring and mix. Repeat until desired color is reached.
  • Place dough in a cookie press, or roll dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut cookies using cookie cutters of desired shape. Or, if you are in a hurry, you can just scoop the dough with a small cookie scoop and roll into balls. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 18-20 minutes.
  • While the cookies bake, crush the Oreos (best done in a food processor). Use the entire Oreo, filling and all!
  • Once cookies are cool, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave (or the candy melts according to the package directions) and transfer into a candy decorating bag. Cut of the corner tip of the bag and use it to drizzle the cookies with melted chocolate.
  • After drizzling chocolate on 3-4 cookies, sprinkle them with the Oreo crumbs so that they will stick. Repeat the process for 3-4 cookies at a time until they are all covered.
