How to Make Half Dipped Thin Mint Cookies

  1. Whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, ¼ cup cornstarch, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, and ½ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  2. Cream together 1 cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  3. With the mixer on low speed, add 2 tablespoons milk and 1 teaspoon peppermint extract + ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. The mixture will look curdled—that's okay!
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Shape the dough into two logs, about 1 ½ inches in diameter. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1-2 hours, or until very firm.
  6. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. Slice the frozen dough into ¼-inch thick rounds. Place onto prepared baking sheets.
  8. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until edges are set. Cookies will not spread much.
  9. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets.
  10. Melt 6 ounces chopped semi-sweet chocolate and 2 tablespoons butter together in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  11. Dip one half of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate.
  12. Place the dipped cookies on waxed paper to set.
