Get your Irish on with these Grasshopper Chocolate Mint Cookies.  They are the perfect way to wear your green.

Grasshopper Chocolate Mint Cookies

I am a big chocolate and mint fan.  I think it’s a pretty perfect combo.  I’m not sure why people started calling the chocolate mint combination grasshopper?  I get that grasshoppers are green but they aren’t chocolate, unless you dip them in chocolate which I’ve heard people do!

Grasshopper Chocolate Mint Cookies

Wherever the name came from, I love the combo.  Whether it is in the form of a Grasshopper Ice Cream Pie  or in a cookie, give me all the grasshopper flavored foods! (the chocolate and mint variety that is!!)  These BYU Mint Brownies are another favorite mint treat around here.

Grasshopper Chocolate Mint Cookies

The base of this cookie is a nice soft chocolate sugar cookie which totally stands on it’s own, no frosting required.  But you can make them even better by adding a topping of mint flavored butter cream and a sprinkle of Andes mint candies.

Grasshopper Chocolate Mint Cookies

Eat a few of these on St. Patrick’s Day and you won’t have to worry about getting pinched.  Just leave a little frosting in the corners of your mouth so they can see you are wearing your green.
