Mint No Bake Cookies Recipes

FUDGY MINT CHOCOLATE NO-BAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Line 2 cookie sheets with wax paper.
• In a large pot, combine butter, sugar, cocoa and milk. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, and boil 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in vanilla and salt. Add oats and coconut and stir to combine.
• Drop into 24 spoonfuls onto wax paper. Refrigerate until set.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting. To a stand mixer (or use a hand mixer), add butter, icing sugar and milk and beat until creamy and blended. Add in mint extract and food coloring. If necessary, add an extra tbsp sugar or milk to achieve the right consistency -- you do not want the icing runny.
• Remove cookies from the fridge and spread with frosting. Return to the fridge to let the frosting set.
• Make the ganache: In a small pot, combine chocolate, milk and butter over very low heat. Cook and stir constantly until chocolate is smooth. Set aside to cool 5-10 minutes. Spread on cooled cookies, and return to the refrigerator to allow chocolate to set.
• Because they are slightly gooey, I like to store them in the fridge or freezer with wax paper between layers so they don't stick together.

MINT SANDWICH COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the frosting, extract and, if desired, food coloring. Spread filling over half of the crackers; top with remaining crackers. , In a microwave, melt chocolate; stir until smooth. Dip cookies in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE MINT BARS

Steps:

Stir in cookie crumbs until well mixed; press evenly in pan. Refrigerate until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, beat 1/4 cup butter, the milk, peppermint extract, vanilla and food color with electric mixer on medium speed until well mixed. On low speed, gradually beat in powdered sugar until smooth.
• Spread peppermint mixture evenly over crumb mixture. In 1-quart saucepan, melt remaining chocolate chips and 1/3 cup butter over low heat, stirring constantly; spread evenly over peppermint mixture. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, 10 to 15 minutes. For bars, cut into 5 rows by 5 rows.
