Preparing your Thin Mints
Now that I got you hankering for Thin Mints, let me show you how to make them! Gather all your ingredients together. It’s always easier to cook when you have the ingredients out on the counter. This also helps if things need to be room temperature for baking.
Mix all the ingredients together except the chocolate chips, coconut oil, and peppermint extract. Save those for dipping at the end. Mix everything up into a ball and throw in the freezer. It’s easier to roll out and cut when it’s cold. While the dough is chilling in the freezer ( yeah, that was a bad mom joke), pull out your large sheet pan and line it with wax paper or parchment paper. Spray with non stick spray to make the cookies slide right off.
Roll out cold dough and cut into circles with a cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or the bottom of a cup. Place on sheet pan and cook for 7 mins in a 350 degree oven. Don’t worry if the cookies look like they aren’t quite done. They will firm up as they cool. Put them on a cooling rack and finish cooking the rest. Once they are all cooked and cooling, move on to the coating.
Throw the cooled cookies in the freezer to get nice and cold. This will help the coating stick better. While the cookies are freezing, make the chocolate coating. Put the coconut oil and the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Melt the chocolate chip combo either on the stove or in the microwave. If using the microwave, do it in 30 second increments. Once the chocolate is smooth, add the peppermint extract and mix thoroughly.
Dip the cookies in the chocolate mixture then set aside on parchment lined plate or pan. When pan is full, put in freezer to harden the coating. Keep going until all the cookies are dipped. Store the leftovers in the freezer.
