You know those cookies? Yeah, you know THOSE cookies. | SPG 31 Days of Smoothies
I'm not gonna go into too much detail here, because if you see the title of the post and your thought instantly goes to THOSE cookies, then I already know you know, you know?
You KNOW. Chocolate cookies, covered in chocolate, taste like mint, you put them in the freezer because there's no other way to eat them, it's a rule...
Of Note: The mint flavor is up to you. If you use fresh mint, you will get an herby flavor that really plays well with the chocolate and is totally alcohol-free. If you use peppermint extract, you will get more of the "classic" flavor. However, if you've ever used it before, you know it burnnnsssss and if you're not careful, you will have a dark chocolate toothpaste smoothie. So, you know, be careful!

1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (again, OPTIONAL)
