Gluten Free Grasshopper Cookie Bars
If you love mint, then these
These babies are ready in about 20 minutes and then just need a bit of time to cool. My daughter went crazy for the frosting, I had to hide the bars because she kept trying to lick it off all of them!
Gluten Free Mint Cookies
Goodie Girls Mint Cookies make an amazing crust. Honestly, all their cookies make a great pie crusts (I used them for this Mint Pie here and as a crumble for these apple pie jars here) I love the extra kick of mint that these cookies bring to the No Bake Gluten Free Grasshopper Cookie Bars, but Goodie Girls Coco Slims would also be great in this recipe. If you haven’t ever tried Goodie Girl cookies you are missing out on some of the best
Recipe Notes
These gluten free grasshopper cookie bars are a snap to make, but of course I have a few tips to make them a bit easier.
Creme de Menthe
Creme de Menthe can be purchased at just about any liquor store, but if you prefer, you can make your own using this recipe or you can also sub in mint extract, a bit of milk and some food coloring to get that green color.
Cream Cheese Frosting
This cream cheese frosting is thick, and you want it that way so that it will slice easily. I used my hand mixer, but if you have a stand mixer, it will be easier. If it doesn’t appear to be thick enough, you can always add in a bit more powdered sugar.
These cookies are great for St. Patrick’s Day and with their green color, perfect for any spring dessert!

March 18, 2020 at 9:45 pmI made these for st. Patrick’s day and they were delicious. My only negative to it was that the crust didn’t stick together and was a crumbly mess. I followed everything even down to letting it cool in the fridge for an hour before. I might try adding some butter to pack it down better next time.
