Thin Mints

I wanted to make some cookies today

And I had this recipe that I've been wanting to try for a long time.

Homemade "Thin Mints"!

You know, like the Girl Scout cookies?


This recipe is not a quick recipe.

Especially if you are me...

These took me over 2 hours to make.

So basically, make sure you have plenty of time when you make these.


They're not quite as sweet as real Thin Mints, but I like them this way.

Also, they weren't quite as light/crispy, possibly cuz I used 1/2 whole wheat flour.

Still, they were a delicious and healthier alternative to the famed Girl Scout cookies!


Here's how I made them:



Step 1:

Mix up the dough.

Form into flattened circle 3/4 inch thick and put in a baggy in the freezer to chill for 20 minutes.

Roll out the dough to the thickness of thin mints, and cut out with cookie cutter.

Bake for 10 minutes and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack if you have one.

While cookies are baking, melt chocolate in double boiler

(or if you're me, the MICROWAVE :)

Once cookies are completely cooled, coat cookies in chocolate and lift gently onto cookie tray with a fork.

Put the cookies in the freezer for 20 minutes, and vuala!

You're thin mint cookies are finished.

The recipe I used only made like 2 or 3 dozen.

Next time I make these, I think I'm gonna double the recipe to make my time more worth it.

So there you have it

Thin mint cookies!

Es todo por hoy-

Nos vemos!
