Ingredients

Servings

• 8 ounce Thin Mint Cookies
• ¹⁄₂ cup Unsalted Butter
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar
• 2 unit Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• ¹⁄₂ cup All-Purpose Flour
• ¹⁄₄ cup Cocoa Powder
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounce Cream Cheese
• ¹⁄₂ cup Powdered Sugar
• ¹⁄₂ teaspoon Mint Extract
• 3 drop Green Food Coloring

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking pan.
2. Crush the thin mint cookies and set aside.
3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Add the granulated sugar and mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract. Add the egg mixture to the butter-sugar mixture and stir until well combined.
5. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in the crushed thin mint cookies.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
8. Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
9. While the brownies are cooling, prepare the minted cream cheese. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, mint extract, and green food coloring until smooth and creamy.
10. Once the brownies have cooled, spread the minted cream cheese mixture over the top.
11. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese to set.
12. Cut into squares and serve.
