How to Make Chocolate Mint Cookies
Making mint chocolate thumbprint cookies is so simple. Make the cookies, make the ganache filling, then combine. We talked about the Creme de menthe filling above, so let’s go over the cookie part.
Can thumbprint cookies be frozen?
Yes, you can freeze thumbprint cookies. If you know you’re going to be freezing them for later rather than eating them right away, freeze the cookies without the ganache. You can then make the ganache fresh and fill them when serving. However, if you just want to store the leftover cookies, they are fine to freeze as is. I just prefer the filling when it’s fresh.
These Chocolate Mint Cookies will surely be a favorite this Christmas season. So much delicious mint flavor in one amazing cookie. Everyone will love them! If you like this thumbprint cookie recipe, try these other holiday cookie recipes:
