Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Begin by gathering all the ingredients. Make sure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
- Make the Cookie Base: In a large bowl, combine the quick oats, cocoa powder, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are fully combined and the mixture is sticky.
- Form Cookie Rounds: Take small portions of the cookie mixture (about 2 tablespoons each) and roll them into balls or flatten them into rounds. Place each cookie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should have around 12–15 cookies.
- Make the Mint Filling: In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and peppermint extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Take one chocolate cookie, spread a layer of the mint filling on top, and then gently press another cookie on top to create a sandwich. Repeat this with the remaining cookies and filling.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Coat the Sandwiches: Dip each cookie sandwich into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Set the Sandwiches: Place the chocolate-coated sandwiches back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all are coated, refrigerate the sandwiches until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve the Chocolate Mint No-Bake Cookie Sandwiches on a festive platter. These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy the rich chocolate and refreshing mint flavor during the holiday season!
