How to Make Thin Mint Cookies Almost
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Gradually add the cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Add more water, one tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Cover the dough and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to just under 1/16 inch thickness.
- Use a 2-inch cookie cutter (or a spice jar lid!) to cut out the cookies.
- Arrange the cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on baking sheets.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips, peppermint extract, and shortening.
- Microwave on 50% power for 2 minutes, stir, then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and melted.
- Dip each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Place the dipped cookies side-by-side on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate until the chocolate is firm.
