CHOCOLATE MINT COOKIES (CREME DE MENTHE THUMBPRINT COOKIES RECIPE)

These Chocolate Mint Cookies are just so good. Mint chocolate thumbprint cookies with a Creme de Menthe ganache. Yum!

Delicious cookies are a must during the holiday season. I feel like pies are the official Thanksgiving dessert, but COOKIES are the best dessert for Christmas. There are already so many easy cookie recipes to choose from, but these Chocolate Mint Cookies are one of my favorites this year!

Thumbprint cookies are so fun to make. Not only do you get a delicious cookie, but you get an amazing filling to add even more flavor! These chocolate mint cookies are the perfect combination: a mint chocolate cookie with a Creme de Menthe ganache filling. The chocolate and the mint balance each other out really well, and I love the flavor explosion when you bite into the ganache.

The chocolate mint cookies are good, but I think my favorite part of this recipe is the Creme de Menthe ganache! These little thumbprint cookies wouldn’t be complete without the minty filling to finish them off. Luckily the ganache is pretty simple to make, and can be done in just a few minutes while the cookies are cooling.
