Happy Saint Patrick’s Day Everyone! Still looking for a St. Patrick’s Day dessert recipe? Try this.
We’ll start out with a fluffy chocolate cookie recipe, add chocolate chips and a little peppermint extract and viola! You have double chocolate, mint cookies.
How To Make The Best St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Recipe Ever!
To make this, I started with my chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe and adapted it a little.
For one thing, I added some cocoa powder to make this a chocolate based cookie. I also replaced the vanilla extract with peppermint extract. You can add them both to this recipe. I just didn’t want the flavors to compete.
You can also add as much or as little peppermint extract as you like. I at first was very sparing and only added 1/2 of a tsp and then I tasted the dough at the end and decided that it needed more.
The goal is for you to be able to taste the peppermint in the dough but for it not to be so overpowering that it tastes like toothpaste. I did a tsp.
The other adaptation that I made was the original recipe has half granulated sugar and half brown sugar. But since this is a chocolate cookie and I wanted to give it that deep, molasses flavor, I added all brown sugar. That why it is extra chewy as well.
I then chilled the dough for 2 hours. This does a few things. It let’s the dough relax, leading to a less tough and more chewy and fluffy cookie. Gives the flavors some time to mingle. And also cools the dough down so it doesn’t spread as much in the oven.
After this chilling period, I used a cookie scoop to scoop even balls of dough out the on a prepared cookie sheet. Press each cookie down into a disk so that it doesn’t puff up too much while baking.
Some more St Patrick’s Day Dessert Recipes
Cookies not your jam? No problem. I have a few other St. Patrick’s Day dessert recipes.
The first is a copycat candy recipe that I did in 2021 – York Peppermint Patties.
If you have never had a peppermint patty before, it’s a disk of minty and sugary filling that is coated in dark chocolate.
You don’t have to but I do recommend that you temper the chocolate. I know that sounds scary and complicated but I promise you it’s neither. In the post, I walk you through a very simple method for doing it.
I also have a Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheesecake. This one is made with alcohol but if you don’t like that that’s totally ok. You can just replace the Bailey’s with coffee. It won’t taste exactly the same but it gets the point across.
Another cheesecake is a Chocolate, Mint and Guinness cheesecake . The flavor is just as it sounds Boozy, minty and chocolatey. But I think the special thing about this is the decoration.
The whipped cream is piled up to look like clouds and the. There are long strips of gummy soaps that resemble a rainbow. The middle also has a fake pot of gold.
Then I have a st patty day lucky charms cereal cheesecake. This st patricks day cake is a no bake cheesecake so it is super easy and you can check it out here.
This recipe was shared on Tiktok where I made a shamrock shake. This very simple shake features just 5 ingredients: milk of your choice, vanilla ice cream, the optional Baileys Irish cream, and mint extract and green food coloring.
Then you have your optional whipped cream. You can find the recipe and video for this ever popular green dessert here.
This last St. Patrick’s Day dessert recipe was done as a guest post on combinegoodflavors.com. This is a frequent thing that I do on this blog where I take each flavor of oreos and make an oreo pudding cake dessert recipe with it.
This one was made with the Mint Oreo. It has chocolate pudding with some bailey’s Irish cream, and cool whip and cream cheese mixture. And you can check that out here .
I hope you all enjoyed this recipe and I hope you all have an amazing holiday! If you would like to see another st patricks day dessert recipe like rainbow cupcakes, let me know.
