Music by Belle & Sebastian
Recipe Adapted from bakingbites.com
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup cornstarch
6 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/3 cup whole milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 tsp peppermint extract
Dark Chocolate Coating Ingredients:
10-oz dark or semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. With the mixer on low speed, add in the milk and the extracts. Mixture will look curdled. Gradually, add in the flour mixture until fully incorporated.
Shape dough into two logs, about 1 1/2 inches (or about 4 cm) in diameter, wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 1-2 hours, until dough is very firm.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Slice dough into rounds not more than 1/4 inch thick -- if they are too thick, they will not be as crisp -- and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Cookies will not spread very much, so you can put them quite close together.
Bake for 13-15 minutes, until cookies are firm at the edges. Cool cookies completely on a wire rack before dipping in chocolate.
Dark Chocolate Coating:
In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate and butter. Melt on high power in the microwave, stirring every 45-60 seconds, until chocolate is smooth. Chocolate should have a consistency somewhere between chocolate syrup and fudge for a thin coating.
Dip each cookie in melted chocolate, turn with a fork to coat, then transfer to a piece of parchment paper or wax paper to set up for at least 30 minutes, or until chocolate is cool and firm.
Reheat chocolate as needed to keep it smooth and easy to dip into.
Makes 3 1/2-4 dozen cookies.

make sure to store them in an air tight container to keep them fresh! you can substitute vanilla extract, however they won't have the minty flavor. but definitely experiment away! it'll become your own version of cookies. hope that helps!

[@dorothy4913]

I used salted butter and they were very salty, so I recommend using unsalted and adding a pinch of salt.

[@honeysuckle]

yes, you can store up to a month. :)

[@honeysuckle]

aw, thank you! :)

[@honeysuckle]

Thank you! i love them too - why do they only come around once a year?? withdrawals... heheh. i really love the tagalongs and samoas too! =)

[@honeysuckle]

thanks dave! let me know how they turn out for you. =)

[@HelenRecipes]

[@BethanyFung]

Awesome recipe! What's your ethnicity?

[@britneyly9336]

You and me are Vietnamese

[@robertknight4672]

That looks more like 1/4 cup of butter than 1/2.

[@piggy3641]

Kinda crunchy? Lol

[@honeysuckle]

hi jessica! sure, check out the chocolate chip shortbread cookie video that i posted recently. i think you'll like that one! :)

[@honeysuckle]

of course!! please check out my producer's page (fotomokio) in my info section!

[@honeysuckle]

hi there! i would check the temperature of your oven - it sounds like it might be a little too hot, making them cook faster. they shouldn't spread at all... also, try cutting them a little thinner and turn the oven down by 25 degrees - it should cook evenly and come out more like "cracker" consistency. i hope that helps!!!

[@honeysuckle]

thank you! i love lasagna! Maybe i will make a video on my favorite recipe. =) My favorite is the classic lasagna with ground beef, sausage, and spinach. But instead of ricotta cheese, i prefer to use cottage cheese with some extra herbs. yum! you have me craving lasagna now... =D

[@honeysuckle]

thank you so much! i'm glad this video was helpful. let me know how the gluten free thin mint works out for you!

[@honeysuckle]

yes you can! but just be sure you reduce the baking time since they might burn.

[@honeysuckle]

great job!! they are a bit tricky and time consuming to make. i'm glad you liked them! :)

[@honeysuckle]

they are so hard to stop eating once you start! lol... thanks for stopping by! :)

[@AGPrimrose]

For the chocolate coating , I used dark cocoa mint candy melts

[@honeysuckle]

the method is kind of similar to your sable recipes as well!

[@mariafadzlin8893]

Yes im sure u can do that. Most people with microwave uses that method instead of double boiling :-)

[@jenneychoi]

It's kind of demanding that you say like my Facebook page, you could say it nicer. And by the way your thin mints turned out so good! They look like you actually bought them from a Girl Scout ;)

[@thisblows200]

I tried these, and they weren't minty enough. And coating the cookies with the chocolate was a lot harder than I thought. But, in the end the were very tasty. The hard work paid off lol

[@jackailles2000]

[@4evragloverlea111]

[@zierahnur]

[@e.7759]

Anyone know if you can microwave the chocolate/butter coating? Instead if double boiling? thnaks

[@honeysuckle]

Elaine James - you can but do them 30 sec increments at a time. they can burn easily in the microwave.

[@nancytran2783]

Is it okay if I use salted butter on the mixture and chocolate coating?

[@christopheryoeurng3722]

Do you really need the vanilla extract because I am already buying peppermint extract and u do not want to spend so much

[@alexabreana]

Yes you do

[@yenkiem86]

i think you can. its pretty much the same, your mixing it anyway.

[@Jennjessjimm3]
