Homemade Girl Scout Thin Mints

With it being Girl Scout cookie season I was inspired to try and make some Homemade Thin Mints. The recipe I found was surprisingly very easy! Since it was so easy and these turned out wonderful I knew I just had to share it with you. Check out the recipe for these Homemade Thin Mints below. Now that I have conquered Thin Mints I think the next Girl Scout Cookies I will try to make will be Samoas. Happy Thursday! See you tomorrow for my weekly favorites to end the week. 

 Homemade Thin Mint Cookies:

Ingredients:

20 Oreos 

1 teaspoon peppermint extract 

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (or white chocolate)

Instructions:

1. Separate Oreos and scrape off the white cream. Line a baking sheet with wax or other nonstick paper.

2. Combine chocolate and peppermint extract in a microwave safe bowl. Heat chocolate until completely melted in 30 second intervals or heat with the help of a double boiler.

3. Place one oreo half at a time into the chocolate and flip over with the help of a fork. Once completely coated, remove cookie half from chocolate with the fork and tap it on the edge of the bowl a couple of times (to get rid of the excess chocolate). Place on prepared baking sheet and repeat. 

4. Place in the fridge and let set for 15 minutes before enjoying.
