How to Make Tsr Version Of Girl Scout Thin Mints Recipe By Todd Wilbur

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened; ¾ cup granulated sugar; ¾ cup packed light brown sugar; 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract; 2 large eggs; 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking soda; ½ teaspoon salt; and ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Gradually add ½ cup cold water, mixing until a dough forms.
  2. Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (or up to overnight).
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to 1/16 inch thickness.
  5. Use a 1 ½-inch cookie cutter (or a similarly sized lid) to cut out cookie rounds.
  6. Arrange the cut dough rounds onto the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  8. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheets.
  9. While the cookies cool, prepare the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces good quality dark chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, and 1 tablespoon shortening.
  10. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring gently after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  11. Dip each cooled wafer into the melted chocolate, tapping off any excess against the side of the bowl.
  12. Place the dipped cookies side-by-side on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
  13. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
