Alright, so who doesn't love girl scout cookies?! Well here is a homemade version of Thin Mints that turns out pretty good from Averie Cooks! It only requires four ingredients and no baking involved, does it get better than that?! This recipe will probably take you no longer than 15 minutes. It's best when you let the cookies sit in the fridge or freezer for a little bit to allow the chocolate to set and I like them best when they are cold; it makes a big difference! Enjoy!
Sorry they aren't the prettiest looking cookies! I'll do better next time:) |
Ingredients:
- 18 Ritz crackers
- 1 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 Tbsp vegetable shortening (keeps chocolate smooth)
- 3/4 tsp peppermint extract (give or take)
Directions:
- Line baking sheet with wax paper.
- In a shallow microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and shortening and heat on high for 1 minute then stir. Continue to heat for 10 seconds at a time, stirring between heating, until melted.
- Add peppermint to melted chocolate (add slowly until you reach your desired peppermint taste).
- Add 1 cracker to melted chocolate, coat it, and remove to wax paper. Continue coating with all crackers. Place in fridge or freezer until chocolate is set.
