Chocolate and mint!!

I was so happy to find some Green M&Ms at Wal-Mart a few weeks back. I was wanting to make some “St. Patrick’s Day Cookies” and knew they would be perfect for my creation!

The M&Ms are Mint (and Dark Chocolate), and I couldn’t resist throwing in some crushes Oreos. With those ingredients and my standard “cookie” recipe, I made some Mint M&M and Oreo Cookies.

I was quite surprised at how much I loved them. I’m not a huge dark chocolate fan, but the combination of the ingredients made me feel like I was eating Thin Mints!! Yup – the beloved Girl Scout Cookies, but in a softer, not as expensive way. 🙂

Tips, Variations + Storing Info

Best way to crush Oreos: You can crush Oreos by placing them in an airtight bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or meat cleaver. Be sure that 

Variations:

  • Use Mint Oreos
  • Add in white chocolate chips
  • To keep cookies soft you don’t want to overmix the batter
  • You also don’t want to overbake the cookies
  • Chewier: replace part or all of the white sugar with brown sugar.

STORE cookies in an airtight container on the counter at room temperature. They should keep for up to a week. Placing a piece of white bread in the container will help keep them from drying out as quickly.

FREEZE

  • Baked Cookie: To freeze these cookies, let them cool completely and then layer them between pieces of parchment paper in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Let them thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • Dough: Scoop the dough balls onto a lined cookie sheet. Do not add M&Ms on top. Flash freeze by placing them in the freezer for a couple of hours until frozen. Transfer to a freezer safe storage container, label and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow dough to thaw before adding M&M’s on top and baking.

  1. Oh my! Why use salt, baking powder & baking soda? I have to toss this. Was to take to family for st paddy day. Will use my tried & true CC recipe from dear ones gone on. Cooking for 64 years so I knew better

    1. Thanks for the feedback and for giving the recipe a try! Everyone seems to have their favorite cookie base recipe. This one is ours. Glad to hear you have a tried and true one that you enjoy as well. 🙂

  2. 5 stars
    These are delicious. I did cut the sugars to 3/4 cup and the salt to 1/2 tsp, and they turned out wonderful. My only concern was what to do after you take them out of the oven…cool on the cookie sheet for a period of time, or on a cooling rack? I decided to leave them on the cookie sheet for a minute or so, then transfer to a rack. I will make these again!
