Mint Oreos (GF/DF)

As I am writing this, I am also eating sitting here eating one of these ( probably my 10th “taste test” of the day), and I can hardly contain my excitement!! Because they are really good…. and it’s been a long time coming of trying to perfect them! But today is the day I finally did, and I am feeling truly accomplished now that I have the recipe to share with you all! The cookie is crispy and crunchy, and the filling is creamy and the perfect amount of minty! I wanted to do a fun green mint filling because it’s St. Patty’s Day!!! No food coloring here, just some fun colored good for you ingredients! Not a fan of mint? Simply ditch the mint extract, and do the plain vanilla frosting for a plain Oreo, or better yet slather on some natural PB… YUM!
