Thick Mint Cookies
Do you feel accosted walking into any storefront? That can only mean one thing— it is Girl Scout Cookie time!
Because there are currently no dairy free cookies, I have been unable to partake in these aggressive sales. Thin mints and tagalongs, these are my jam! This recipe dupe is pretty spot on, minus that mine have some thickness to them that the OG cookies just don’t have! I can feel satisfied after eating just ONE of these cookies versus one SLEEVE of the thin mint variety.
These are minimal ingredients, and so easy to whip up. The hardest part is the dipping, and that could be avoided if you adjusted this recipe to become a cookie bar, and just spread your melted chocolate on top of the mint cookie bar— easier and just as tasty!
Ingredients:
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 tbsp casava flour
1 1/4 cup almond flour
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp coconut flour
3 tbsp honey
1/2 tsp mint extract
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 tbsp ghee, room temperature
For coating
2 cups dairy free dark chocolate chips
1 tsp mint extract
1 tbsp refined coconut oil
Instructions:
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, casava flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, and salt.
Once combined, add ghee, honey, vanilla and mint extract. Mix until well incorporated.
Place dough in fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Using a 1 inch cookie scoop, place dough balls about 2 inches apart.
Once the balls are on the cookie sheet, use a piece of parchment paper and the bottom of a measuring cup to press down the cookie dough.. Make sure the dough is about 1/8 inch thick.
Place in oven and cook for about 15 minutes. Watch these cookies closely, the color of the dough will make it hard to tell when the cookies burn.
Remove from oven and let cool.
While the cookies are cooling, melt chocolate chips, mint extract and refined coconut oil in a microwave proof bowl.
Using a fork to balance the cookie, dip cookie in the melted chocolate until covered. Place dipped cookie on a parchment lined sheet to dry.
Once the coating chocolate is dried, enjoy!
