Apparently there is a national food holiday every year called Mint Chocolate Day. Did you know this? Neither did I. No, itâs not today. It would be really cool if it was and I was totally on top of it like that but apparently I am not. Iâm not the cool kid all over those food holidays like itâs no oneâs business. Instead Iâm the one thatâs tagging along after every other cool kid already posted their Mint Chocolate recipes. Yup, things havenât changed since grade school. Iâm the wanna be tag along. In case you were wondering Mint Chocolate Day actually fell on February 19th this year. I should probably mark my calendar for next year so Iâm in with the cool kids huh?
 Are you a mint fan? I find it to be one of those flavors that everyone seems to either like or hate. There isnât really an in between. My hubs for instance claims he hates it until I actually make mint and then it seems that he actually doesnât hate it. He usually gobbles up the treats containing mint with not hesitation. Take these cookies for instance. He comes home for lunch and his eyes light up because there are fresh treats on the counter, then he sees the green filling and he goes oooohhhhhh mint. Yes, dear mint. Why donât you just try them and give them a taste test for me as I bat my eyelashes. He obliges and pretty soon heâs on his second, and possibly his third. I may roll my eyes and smirk. Score one for me. Apparently you really donât hate mint sweetie. You just act like you do.
 These Mint Chocolate Sandwich Cookies are so easy and impressive. Iâve always stayed away from a sandwich cookie because in my mind I imaged them as being hard to make. In fact I kind of grimaced at the thought of making them. I was pleasantly surprised when I was able to pull these off quickly using a chocolate cake mix for the cookie base. It made this so much easier and soon I had mastered these cute, easy and delicious cookies. Even if you have some mint haters in the family Iâm guessing they will also be stealing these when you arenât looking!
