Time 1h

Yield 18-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 -24 chocolate and mint cookies (such as Keebler Grasshoppers or Girl Scout Thin Mints)
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, beaten lightly
1/2 teaspoon chocolate mint extract (or 1/4 tsp mint and 1/4 tsp chocolate extract or chocolate liqueur)
1 cup sour cream
3 drops green food coloring
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Line rregular muffin tins with cupcake liners and set 1 cookie into each tin.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Beat cream cheese, sugar, cocoa powder, and flour together well.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each.
  • Stir in sour cream and extract.
  • Fill tins and bake 20-25 minutes.
  • Filling will still appear soft but won't jiggle when cooked.
  • Cool in tins 5-10 minutes.
  • Combine topping and spoon onto each cake, then allow to cool completely still in the tins. (about 30 minutes).
  • Chill well before serving.
  • TIP: Use extra cookies to garnish the tops of each (I crumble some of the extra cookies and pop a mint leaf into the top).
