Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookies are really easy and fun to make! Perfect for chocolate and mint combo lovers!

Chocolate Mint Sandwich Cookies

I just realized we have only 7 days left until Christmas. Seven days! Eeek! That makes me even more stressed out than I already am. Seems like there is just so much to do but not enough time!!

Chocolate Mint Cookies

This time of year is so busy. Homeschooling, shopping, baking, blogging, planning Christmas dinner, etc. And in the meantime dinner somehow has to be made and the house somehow needs to be cleaned. Anyone know any fairies looking for a job? Send them my way!

We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!

One of my remedies for the stress is definitely and always chocolate. And because it's holiday time - I am adding mint. So chocolate and mint combo it is. Talk about a treat to calm your nerves! I will take it any day!

Chocolate Sandwich Cookies

Notes on the recipe:

- the cookie dough: it is a little sticky and delicate, so the best method that I found was to chill it for about 30 minutes and then scoop out the dough with a cookie scoop and divide each ball into 3 parts. Roll each into a small ball and gently flatten with your fingers. That way the cookies will have quite uniform cracks on top. These cookies spread so make sure you are giving them lots of space. If you make larger cookies they will be flatter and have bigger cracks.

- the frosting: I recommend adding the food coloring in very tiny amounts to make it a mint shade. It may take only a touch of the coloring.
