Thin Mints

Homemade thin mints! :) Thin mints have always been my favorite girl scout cookies. Last night I decided to make them! 


There are no eggs, and no baking powder or baking soda in these. I guess that's how it's so crunchy :)
After making the dough I rolled it into two logs and put them in the freezer for 1 hour or so to make them firm. Then after preheating the oven I cut slices of the log, which are the cookies!


After the cookies cooled, I made the glaze/coating. It's just chocolate and butter melted together, really. I added some more peppermint extract because I felt like the cookie part itself didn't have enough. With that, I basically dipped each cookie in the coating and put them on a tray to cool completely and so the coating would harden.

I keep them in the fridge because I like them better cold :)
