Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons Mint extract
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 10 ounces White chocolate chips or candy melts
- 5 drops Green food coloring (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peppermint candies (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Separate the sandwich cookies into halves, carefully scraping off the cream filling and placing it into a mixing bowl. Reserve the cookie halves for later use.
2. In the mixing bowl with the cream filling, add the softened cream cheese, mint extract, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
3. Add a few drops of green food coloring (if using) to the mixture and stir until evenly colored. Adjust the intensity of the color to your preference.
4. Take one cookie half and spread about 1 tablespoon of the mint cream filling on the flat side. Place another cookie half on top, pressing gently to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
5. Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval until fully melted and smooth.
6. Dip each sandwich cookie into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to lift and let the excess drip off. Place the dipped cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with crushed peppermint candies for a festive touch (optional).
8. Allow the coated cookies to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes or in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, until the chocolate shell hardens.
9. Serve and enjoy these easy no-bake mint sandwich cookies!
