Thin Mint Cookie Recipe with Only 3 Ingredients

Thin Mint Cookie Recipe The Bearfoot Baker

Sometimes I wish I lived in the city. Living in the mountains in the middle of no where is great most of the time, but I don’t get some of the perks of city life. Like no Girl Scout is going to knock on my door and ask me to buy cookies because they can’t find my house. If they did, I would by enough cookies to last until they come a knocking again. Instead, I have to get creative and make my own cookies. My favorite is this Thin Mint cookie recipe. It is simple and only has 3 ingredients. It would be so much easier to get them from a Girl Scout but since that isn’t an option for me, I will gladly make my own. Thin Mint Cookie Recipe Only Three Ingredients | The Bearfoot Baker

Did you know that the Thin Mint Cookies are the number one seller for the Girl Scouts? Maybe that is why they are my favorites.

Ingredients

  • 1 Package of Oreo Cookies
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Pure Mint Extract
  • 1 12 ounce bag of Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • Wax Paper

Instructions

  • The first thing you need to do is remove the filling from the center of the Oreo Cookies. It is best if the cookies are a little on the warm side so the cookie doesn't break as you try to expose that amazing cream center that holds them together.
  • Next, place the chocolate in a double boiler and slowly melt it. You can place it in a microwave safe bowl and melt it in 30 seconds increments until it is nice and smooth. If it is too thick you can add a little vegetable oil to help it melt smoothly.
  • Once the chocolate has melted, add the mint extract and give it a good stir.
  • Use a fork to dip the Oreo's one at a time and tap off the excess chocolate one the side of the bowl.
  • Place them on a cookie sheet that has been lined with wax paper until the chocolate has sets up.
