Thin Mints are to be the most popular cookies amongst the Girl Scout Cookies variety. You don't have to wait for the cookie selling time anymore -- here is a mock recipe that you can make at home.
Ingredients
- 1 box of Devil's Food Cake Mix
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 2 tablespoons of cooking oil
- 1/2 cup of cocoa (powder)
- 1 package of chocolate chips
- 2 to 3 drops of Wilton's Candy Mint Flavoring
Steps
- Turn on and preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
- Get a bowl and mix the eggs, water, cooking oil, cake mix, and cocoa powder. Try to achieve a good blended mixture out of the ingredients.
- Cover and place aside for 20 minutes.
- Get a ungreased cookie sheet and make 1/2 inch small balls of the mixture. Place them on the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart from each other.
- Spray a large spoon with PAM or any kind of non-stick cooking spray. Use the spoon on the balls to make them flat.
- Place the cookie sheet in the oven for about 8 minutes. Set aside for them to cool down to room temperature.
- Get another bowl and melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. You can also melt them in a double boiler over the range.
- Gently drop the mint flavoring into the melted chocolate. Be aware that the flavoring is powerful, so watch the amount of drops.
- Pour or spread the chocolate onto the cooled cookies. You can use a brush or the bottom of a spoon to help spread it evenly. If you want a different way to have thin mints, dip the cookies into the chocolate.
