I don’t usually like peppermint but mint is right up my alley so this Crumbl recipe finally hit the spot for me.
It uses a mint extract instead of peppermint extract to give it a more fresh and light kick of flavor. The combination of mint and chocolate also go insanely well together.
This is the best mint brownie cookie ever!
Trust me when I saw this cookie might even be a favorite for non-minty-dessert people. I mean, I am one of those people and this cookie was truly a huge hit.
I think the difference here is that this recipe isn’t made with peppermint but with regular mint extract. Which gives it more of a freshness rather than spice. If you have never tried that before you should!

Great cookie! I also loved the fact that the measurements were under the instructions so I didn’t have to scroll back to the top.
Chahinez
I’m glad you liked it!
Kristi
Wanting to make these… do I need to use light brown sugar or dark brown sugar
Chahinez
Dark brown sugar 🙂
Amanda
Just so you know, you have a typo in the instructions for How to Store Mint Brownies. It says “le tit” instead of “let it”. 🙂
Chahinez
Thank you!
Amanda
Every time I make these cookies I get rave reviews! Between the chocolate and the mint these are SO GOOD!
I’ve made both the regular size and half size. I put the ganache and frosting in ziplock bags, pipe it on the cookies, and then spread it out. This makes it a whole lot easier in my opinion. 😁
I may try making a gluten-free version at some point as well!
Thank you for this amazing recipe!
Chahinez
Wow, that’s amazing! I’m happy these cookies get you rave reviews. Thank you for trying out the recipe 🙂

So good!! Crumbl cookies but they are pricey and way across town. Thank you for a perfect duplicate!
Chahinez
No problem! Glad you enjoyed them 😁
Lena
these turned out delicious!! I made them last night and they’re already almost gone!
Chahinez
Love that!
Ali
The absolute best!! The texture and flavors were on point!!
Chahinez
Thank you so much!!
Melissa
These were phenomenal! The mint in the buttercream ‘kind of’ cut the richness of the cookie. We did do the smaller cookies because we’re trying to watch our figures, but my husband has already devoured two of them, so I guess that was pointless 😅 Thanks so much for sharing!
Dominique
I love your recipes! They are fantastic! Would you create the blackberry lemon crumbl cookie please?
Alice
I think these are my new favorites! The semisweet chocolate and mint frosting were perfectly balanced & the cookie itself was so fudgy and indulgent. Loved how the base also had semisweet chocolate chips in it. The frosting reminded me of mint chip ice cream! 😋
Kay Rodriquez
Love these cookies the ganache on top of the mint frosting was absolutely deicious.
Tanya
These were so good! Glad you gave the storage info, but these are not going to last even two days! Must make and must share – we did!

These are delicious! I made these this evening after discovering your recipe earlier today. These were easy and my two sons really enjoyed them too. Definitely best chilled (my younger son tried them without chilling first and agreed to chill it before finishing it).
