How to Make Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies

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

1. Turn on and preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
   
2. 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.
   
3. Cover and place aside for 20 minutes.
   
4. 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.
   
5. Spray a large spoon with PAM or any kind of non-stick cooking spray. Use the spoon on the balls to make them flat.
   
6. Place the cookie sheet in the oven for about 8 minutes. Set aside for them to cool down to room temperature.
   
7. Get another bowl and melt the chocolate chips in the microwave. You can also melt them in a double boiler over the range.
   
8. Gently drop the mint flavoring into the melted chocolate. Be aware that the flavoring is powerful, so watch the amount of drops.
   
9. 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.
