Want more chocolate cookies to devour? Look no further! Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, Fudge Double Chocolate Cookies, and Salted Caramel Stuffed Double Chocolate Cookies. Calling all mint-chocolate lovers! Your day is about to be made my friends. My husband is a huge mint-chocolate fan. As much as he loves chocolate (and he does, ohhhh he does) he loves it even more if it’s got something minty going on. Starlight mint ice cream is his favorite and he goes nuts for the thin mint girl scout cookies. Or grasshopper cookies, as other brands call them. Which is basically the inspiration for these cookies. Not basically. It is the inspiration. Let’s give credit where it’s due shall we? Plus it’s kind of obvious since these are named grasshopper sugar cookies and all. Annnnnyway. These beauties are made with my all-time favorite sugar cookie dough base with a few tweaks to turn it into the perfect chocolate sugar cookie. Next you’re gonna top it with a whole-lotta super fluffy mint frosting. Mmmmmmm. And last but not least?? The mint chocolate drizzle. Just look at it – so purrrrrdy. The really cool thing? It is created from all of one ingredient. One. The oh-so-popular Andes mint chocolate candies. My gosh I love those things. Just unwrap a handful of those, melt them in the microwave, and drizzle that goodness right on top of your cookies. And if you didn’t already know, they also make Andes mint chocolate “chips”. They’re basically crushed Andes and you can find them in some stores near the regular chocolate chips. Those work perfectly for this. Now have yourself a cookie. You deserve it.
What people are saying about these Grasshopper Sugar Cookies
“OH MY these are absolute perfection. Have searched long and hard for a chocolate sugar cookie that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. These are amazing!!! Just made them for my son – home from college – these may mean more visits!!! Made 36 HUGE cookies. Iced half with the grasshopper icing and the other half with a peanut butter frosting with dark chocolate drizzle. Both were a big hit. Will be using this recipe in my annual Christmas Cookie Weekend with my girlfriends that has been going on for about 25 years – they will flip!!” – Lisa
