This recipe is definitely a hit! I love that there’s no egg in the dough I was able to let my son try it. These cookies are extremely easy to make and absolutely delicious!!!
Just made these cookies the other day and my husband LOVED them! I’m not a huge fan of mint and chocolate combined, but these are very good. The dough was a little challenging to work with but so worth the effort. Stay inside and warm with this icky weather we’re having!
Hi Lyneah! I have not tried this recipe without baking powder, and can’t recommend it. Without the baking powder, the cookies could turn out flat and hard. I hope this helps!
Mine turned out terrible :( after freezing them for 30 minutes, I put them in the oven and they didn’t flatten out and they were super dry. I don’t know what I did wrong.
Alli, I am so sorry to hear this! That definitely should not have happened, as I and many other readers have made these cookies with success. It sounds like you had too much flour since they did not spread and were dry. Always make sure to lightly spoon the flour and scatter it into your measuring cup, then level it off. Did you use all purpose flour or a different kind? I’m sorry this didn’t turn out, as it’s disappointing to try a recipe and not have it come out.
I honestly was skeptical about this recipe because it used not much butter and no eggs. But they came out great! I was able to snag a bag of Andes mint chips so I didn’t have to chop up the mints myself. Very easy recipe. I used AP flour and a size 30 scoop which is just over 2 Tbsp so my cookies turned out a little bigger. For high elevation, I added a Tbsp of flour, increased temp by 25 degrees, used slightly less baking powder, and I baked them for 10 minutes (turning halfway through). They turned out soft and perfect and didn’t over spread. I think freezing them as full balls (not flattened) helped with that too.
Tried this recipe for the first time and I’m really happy with how it turned out! I only had oat milk so I used that instead of almond milk. Anything mint chocolate is my favorite especially for this time of year, so I’m happy I found this easy to make recipe!
Erin! These are so delicious as usual! Holidays are obviously looking a little different this year, but I needed something to get into the spirit. These have the perfect amount of mint and were easy to make, but hard to not eat them all! Definitely adding to my holiday rotation.

I’d like to attempt using the espresso powder but I’ve never used espresso (not a coffee drinker). What type of espresso powder? Would I find this in a typical grocery coffee isle or is it a seasoning type item in a special seasoning style jar I’d probably have to order? Thank you for your help. Can’t wait to try this recipe ASAP.
Hi Misty! Instant espresso powder could be sold by the regular coffee or in the baking aisle. You should be able to find it at an average grocery store. If you like to bake chocolate desserts, any time you add a bit of it, it will intensify the chocolate flavor. I hope you love the cookies!
I just made these for St. Patrick’s Day and they are awesome! The whole family loves them, even my husband who typically doesn’t like cookies (weirdo, I know). I didn’t have the white whole wheat flour, or the WW pastry flour, so just used regular whole wheat flour. Refrigerated the dough in the mixing bowl overnight (no room in my freezer for a baking tray), then baked the next day. Mine turned out a little thinner than the ones pictured above, but likely that’s due to using whole wheat flour. Regardless, they were still perfect in texture and flavor. This recipe is a keeper!
These are delicious! The recipe was easy to follow and my cookies turned out perfectly. Thanks for all your hard work on posting new recipes so often!
Heidi, thank you so much for this sweet comment—I so appreciate it! I’m glad to hear you loved the cookies.

Can I ise coconut milk instead of almond milk?
Hi Mercedes, I haven’t tried that myself, but it should work!
Great recipe, it is one of my go-to recipes now. And I like how I don’t need to use my stand mixer.
Thank you, DJ! I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying this recipe!
is there any way to do this without the baking powder?
Hi Lyneah! I have not tried this recipe without baking powder, and can’t recommend it. Without the baking powder, the cookies could turn out flat and hard. I hope this helps!
Erin, could I use unbleached all purpose flour instead?
Hi Hannah! While I have not tried the recipe this way, it should work fine. If you decide to experiment with it, I’d love to hear how it goes!
Looking forward to making these! Question however…do these freeze well?
Hi Sharonah! I have not tried to freeze these myself, but I suspect they would freeze well. I hope you enjoy the recipe!

No eggs?
Correct, Amanda. No eggs in this one.
I only have access to AP Flour. Can I use this instead. If so, how much?
Hi Rebecca! Yes, that will be absolutely fine. I hope you love it!

I need the recipe for Christmas tree mint cookies
Hi Nancy! I haven’t tried making this recipe in a tree shape, but you could try using a tree-shaped cookie cutter. I hope this helps!
Tried this recipe for the first time and I’m really happy with how it turned out! I only had oat milk so I used that instead of almond milk. Anything mint chocolate is my favorite especially for this time of year, so I’m happy I found this easy to make recipe!
