Happy St Patrick's Day!

Hope everyone has been enjoying this warm weather!!  Believe it or not, I haven't baked all week until yesterday--I've been so into this weather!

No St Patty's cupcakes here.......today I'm sharing with you my recipe for Shamrock Cookie Bars

Ok, I'm not going to lie, I cheated a little.  The Chocolate Chunk Cookie recipe came from Martha Stewart; you can find the recipe HERE.  I did however bake the entire recipe in a 9" x 13" pan for about 25 min instead. 

Mint Frosting:

1 stick unsalted butter, soften

2 cups powder sugar

1-1/2 tsp pure mint extract

2 tbsp milk

8 drops of green food coloring

1/2 cup {or more} cool whip

Using a stand mixer, mix all together{except for cool whip} for about 5 min.  Using a spatula, slowly fold in the cool whip.

I also topped the frosting with Andes Mint Chunks and drizzled with chocolate ganache!

Enjoy this beautiful day!
