How to Make Girl Scouts Thin Mints Cookie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  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. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in the crushed peppermint candies.
  7. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  9. Remove from oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate and place back onto the wire rack to set. Add crushed peppermint candies on the wet chocolate.
