Mint Oreo no bake cookies St. Patrick’s Day remind me of the first time my mom let me crush cookies in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin. When I was growing up, anything green in March meant we were celebrating. Back in our kitchen, she’d mix crushed Oreos with cream cheese and say, “Don’t overwork it, just enough to hold.” Trust me on this, that’s the secret to keeping them soft and smooth. These mint Oreo no bake cookies are creamy inside, coated in chocolate, and perfectly festive for St. Patrick’s Day, no oven required.
