Homemade Mint Chip Oreos – this EASY homemade Oreo recipe is soft batch and filled with mint chip filling! Mint lovers will LOVE this cookie recipe.
Today, February 19, is National Chocolate Mint Day (hence these Mint Chip Oreos), but it’s also another special day: it’s Jordan’s 12th birthday! How is my baby (my only baby) turning 12? Her being a baby seems like so long ago, yet it also feels like it was yesterday. She’s no longer a baby or a toddler, a little kid or a big kid: she’s almost a teenager.
I think, if I had to pick a favorite age, it would be from 8 until now. She’s more independent, able to get things herself or figure things out on her own. We can leave her alone if needed, she travels so much easier, and she’s really a fun person to be around. Also, she still loves us, so so far 12 is an okay age. If I’m being honest, I think I’m more scared about the next 12 years than I was about the first 12. Middle school, hormones, boys, friends, driving…oh my.
There are times like this when I really wish I was Evie from Out Of This World (remember that show?!) and I could simply touch my index fingers together to freeze time. I’m sure there are going to be times soon where I wish I could fast-forward too, ha!
I started making mint chip recipes on February 19 several years ago. One of Jordan’s favorite flavor combinations are chocolate and mint and when we realized her birthday was chocolate mint day, it seemed like it was meant to be. For years she had mint chip cakes, cookies, brownies, and cupcakes on her birthday. This year she decided on a Pizookie for her party and a Pecan Pie for her birthday dinner. And no, it’s not MY pecan pie she requested, no that would be too easy. She requested a pecan pie from the dad of a friend of hers. HIS pecan pie is the BEST ONE. (I kind of agree…and I’ll need to share it here sometime.)
Because of nostalgia, I will still always post mint chip recipes in honor of her birthday. I cannot see green mint without thinking of her!
It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any homemade Oreo recipes. Did you know I have several? Nutella, Golden Oreos, Coconut, Lemon…the list is exhausting. I really like to recreate flavors at home, but I also love to create my own flavors, like Cannibal Oreos (get it? lol). For this recipe, I recreated Mint Oreos…with a little twist: I made them Mint CHIP Oreos. The filling isn’t just a smooth minty filling, but it’s also full of chocolate chips.
More chocolate is always better, don’t you think?
