Ingredients

For the Cookies:

  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ⅛ cup dark cocoa powder
  • ⅛ cup milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • ⅓ cup sweetened coconut flakes

For the Frosting

  • 2 Tablespoons butter (room temperature)
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • ⅛ teaspoon mint extract
  • 2 or 3 drops green food coloring

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • ¼ cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Tablespoon milk
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • More sweetened coconut flakes for garnish

Instructions
 

For the Cookies:

  • Line a small cookie sheet with wax paper.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, cocoa and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently, and boil about 1 - 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the vanilla and salt.
  • Add the oats and sweetened coconut and stir to combine well.
  • Drop into 6 spoonfuls onto the wax paper. Shape them if needed. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.

For the Frosting:

  • While the cookies chill, make the frosting. To a stand mixer, add the butter, powdered sugar and milk and beat until creamy and blended.
  • Add in the mint extract and green food coloring. If necessary, add an extra teaspoon sugar or milk to achieve the right consistency for thick frosting.
  • Remove the cookies from the fridge and spread with the green frosting. Return the cookies to the fridge to let the frosting set, about 5 minutes.

For the Chocolate Ganache:

  • In a small sauce pan, combine the chocolate chips, milk and butter over very low heat. Cook and stir constantly until the chocolate is smooth and remove from the heat.
  • Spread the chocolate ganache on the chilled cookies.
  • Garnish with more coconut flakes and return the cookies to the refrigerator to chill, about 10 minutes.

Notes

  • If there are any cookies left over, store them in the fridge in a single layer on wax paper.
