A match made in dessert heaven! Enjoy a delicious combination of mint chocolate chip brownies and M&Ms in these mint chocolate chip brookies! Perfect for birthdays, holidays (like St. Patrick’s Day!), or any special occasion!

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and I am already starting to celebrate. My green decorations are up, I have my corned beef meal planned and I am just starting to bake all of my favorite St. Patrick’s day treats. You may be surprised by how many amazing St. Patrick’s day dessert recipes are out there. Of course, I have to try them all and then put my special twist on every recipe, making it even better and more festive… and that’s just exactly what I did with this St. Paddy’s day dessert recipe: Mint Chocolate Chip Brookies!

But first… have you ever heard of a brookie or brookies before? It’s a combination of two classic desserts- a brownie and a cookie. You no longer have to decide which to have because you can have both! A brookie is essentially a two-layer dessert. A layer of brownie is topped with a big layer of cookie and then baked together to create the ultimate treat. Sounds pretty incredible, right?! It is!

Mint is also a St. Patrick’s day dessert signature flavor that tastes amazing with chocolate. The vibrant green color of the M&M’s looks fantastic next to the dark chocolate brownie and the mint taste adds a refreshing, delicious twist.

So.. if you’re looking for the ultimate St. Patrick’s Day dessert, you will have to try my Mint Chocolate Chip Brookies recipe!

How to Make Mint Chocolate Chip Brookies

Start by making the brownie layer of the dessert just as you would make any brownie batter. The coconut oil, cocoa powder and salt are combined and then the sugars, vanilla and egg are mixed in.

Add the flour and chocolate chips and then the first part of your St. Paddy’s day brookies is done!

Spread the brownie batter across the bottom of a greased 8×10 pan and then dot it with green mint M&M’s.

Next comes the cookie part of the St. Paddy’s Day brookies. To make the cookie dough, the butter and sugars and beat together until fluffy. Then the vanilla and egg are mixed in followed by the dry ingredients. It’s a pretty straightforward cookie dough recipe but it is very delicious .. I promise!

To add the cookie dough to the pan, I like grab pieces of dough using my hands and place them across the brownie layer. You want to layer the cookie dough across the brownie batter evenly but I like to place the dough around the M&M’s so you can get a peak of the sweets hiding below the cookie layer. I also like to leave a little bit of the brownie showing through the cookie layer. It makes the dessert look a little more interesting and also shows off those festive St. Patrick’s day colors! You can also sprinkle more green M&M’s on top of the cookie dough layer to add even more celebratory chocolate décor.

Once your cookie and brownie layers are made, the mint chocolate chip brookie is ready to bake! It takes about 25-30 minutes to bake this decadent St. Paddy’s dessert.

Let the brookies cool slightly then cut it into squares and serve! I guarantee everyone in your house will love this dessert. How could you ever say no to a cookie and a brownie put together?!

Give my mint chocolate chip brookies recipe a try and let me know what you think! Keep this dessert in mind for other holidays too. Simply swap out the colored mint M&M’s and you can make mint chocolate chip brookies for any occasion!

Enjoy! 🙂
