Instructions
- In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the powdered sugar and mint extract. Mix until combined and fluffy.
- Add the cocoa powder, flour and salt to the mixer and stir to form a sandy mixture. Add the water and mix again to make the dough stick together better.

- Place the cut out cookies on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and bake for 13-15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and repeat with the next two pans of cookies.
- Cool the cookies on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes.
- Once all the cookies are cooled, heat a bowl of chocolate chips in the microwave until they are melted completely.
- Add the coconut oil and mint extract and stir to combine.
- Place all of the cookies on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and drizzle the chocolate sauce over the top of the cookies.
- Freeze for 10 minutes to harden the chocolate.
