These vegan mint chocolate chip cookies are sure to be your new favorite!
Did Leprechauns ever visit your Kindergarten classroom?
They visited mine and it was always one of the most exciting days. Desks toppled over, confetti all over the floor, gold chocolate coins scattered throughout the room! I just could’t figure out how it happened !?!?
Other favorite St. Patrick’s Day memories involve baking and eating of course! One year, my family and I were vacationing in San Francisco and my dad treated me to a Shamrock Shortbread Cookie from Boudin Bakery. Who can say no to festive treats?
Then of course there’s the year I made the disastrous mint chocolate cake which I coined the Leprechaun Cake!
These Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies are quite different than that cake. No tricks only delicious treats!
Based off of my favorite cookie base recipe, these are simple to whip together and even easier to devour!
For one of the first years, I actually plan on wearing green (I don’t have lots of green in my wardrobe!) & shamrock socks will complete the ensemble 😉
Hope you have a great St. Patrick’s Day! Do you have any special memories?

Yes and they used to visit our house too. My kids are kind of old for that but I will at least dye the toilet green! So cute! These looks delicious and I know my kids would love it if I treated them with these on Friday!
Leprechauns did not visit my classroom, but I can just picture cute little Megan getting excited over them. Awww. These cookies look positively addicting.
These cookies are so beautiful! Love the colour contrast of green mint and dark chocolate.
Lovely green cookies Megan. Pinning!!!
