Grasshopper Cookies – moist and thick chocolate cookies covered in fluffy mint frosting and topped with a rich chocolate ganache!
My family is huge chocolate and mint fans. We love mint chocolate chip ice cream and thin mint cookies. So it is no surprise that we also love these Grasshopper Cookies. They are great any day of the year, but also perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!
These Grasshopper Cookies are super easy to make! They are soft and chewy which pairs nicely with the smooth buttery, mint frosting and the rich chocolate ganache. I could have eaten the whole batch by myself!
