Easy Girl Scout Thin Mints Recipe

These incredible Thin Mint copycat cookies were a HUGE hit at my cookie exchange! So popular, they even caused a run on Andes mints at Walmart! This recipe is based on a classic, but I've added Andes chocolate pieces for that authentic Girl Scout Thin Mint color and flavor. Get ready to indulge – you won't be able to resist just one! Makes approximately 60 cookies in under an hour (including cleanup!).

How to Make Easy Girl Scout Thin Mints

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Stir in the crushed Andes mints.

  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set.
