We used a lot of fresh mint in this cookie for both the real color and flavor. The flavor will intensify as the cookies sit; make ahead if that’s your thing.

Recipe notes

Grasshopper Brownies

These decadent brownies feature a sweet, minty topping complemented by a rich dark chocolate ganache and mini chocolate chips for added texture.

London Fog Brownies

Yes, brownies can—and should—be made with white chocolate.

Palets Bretons

Palets bretons are oversize cookies that feature butter, and because they’re from Brittany, they’re traditionally made with beurre salé, salted butter.

Nankhatai (Semolina Shortbread)

These cookies are gently sweetened and perfect with a cup of tea.

Chocolate Pie

Reminiscent of a classic diner dessert, this chocolate cream pie offers pure comfort in a cookie crust.

Rye, Cranberry, and Dark Chocolate Cookies

This cookie is an unintended “celebrity.” It’s one of very few cookies that customers ask for specifically upon arrival at Mokonuts.

Heavenly Halva Cake

Serve a thick slice for breakfast or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Almost Cannoli Galettes

Cannoli and sfogliatelle require complex technique—making them is best left to the professionals. But a galette-inspired variation? That’s a snap to do at home.
