A creamy marshmallow mint filling is sandwiched between to perfectly soft and chewy chocolate cookies. You won’t be able to resist these! 
I wanted a cookie that was soft and chewy and flat at the same time. Flat works best for sandwich cookies so they don’t topple over. These meet all the criteria. I love marshmallow fillings and I incorporated mint into it to complement the chocolate and because it’s a fitting match with the color green for the St. Patrick’s Day theme.

There’s just something special about homemade cookies, especially chocolate chip cookies, so far as I’m concerned. It’s a great family activity, something even children can help with, and everyone loves eating the results.’
So true, Neville. My oldest just turned three and it’s so much fun to get him involved. He’s turning into quite the professional dough roller and frosting spreader :)
