Instructions
Prepare the Cookie Base
- Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. In a saucepan, combine butter, sugar, cocoa, and milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Boil for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in vanilla and salt, then add oats and coconut. Mix until well combined. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the wax paper and refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
Make the Mint Frosting
- Beat powdered sugar, butter, milk, and peppermint extract until smooth and creamy. Adjust consistency with more milk or powdered sugar if needed. Add green food coloring if desired. Spread frosting over chilled cookie bases.
Craft the Chocolate Ganache
