Who does not love Girl Scout Cookies? My favorite are the thin mints. I usually buy 2 boxes for the family and hide the third in my secret stash! Don’t tell my hubby. His favorites are Samoas. But of course I had to try mine first. If thin mints aren’t your favorite, no worries, I found a site named Baking Bites that had several different Girl Scout Cookie recipes here.
I followed the recipe from Baking Bites but instead of rolling my dough into logs, I rolled it out and cut out the cookies. Here are some directions if you want to roll them out as I did.
After the dough has been in the freezer, break the dough into 4 quaters. Roll out the first dough into a flat circle about 1/4 inch thick. If it is any thicker, the cookies will not be as crisp as the originals. Take a small lid (I used a spice bottle lid (about 2.5 inches in diameter) and cut out cookies. (I rolled out my dough between two peices of wax paper which makes the process much less painful).
Now you don’t have to wait 9 more months to enjoy your favorite ones.
**Do you like my daughter’s “earrings” in the top photo? We have a rule that the girls need to be 8 before they can decide if they want to get their ears pierced. This one wants them so badly she finds all sorts of ways to get them. Those hair clips look lovely don’t you think?

Thanks SO much! I just found out I was diabetic, it runs in my family so I’m looking for recipes that I can make “sugar-free”, I just can’t run out and by Girl Scout cookies anymore but you’re right, these are my faves! So maybe I’ll be able to make them something I can eat! Also, thanks for the photography tips. I’ve been eyeing the Nikon D series for awhile…. if it’s meant to be, it’ll happen.

Another super easy and delicious way to do girls scout thin mints is to dip Ritz crackers in melted chocolate with a few drops of Creme De Menthe flavoring. So easy and delicious. I did it for Christmas neighbor gifts and no one believed they were Ritz crackers. At Christmas time they also sell the snowflake shaped Ritz for extra cuteness. I did a post on it:

I've done the Ritz crackers thin mints, too. Use the low sodium Ritz, and melt half milk chocolate and half dark chocolate chips in the microwave until just melted. Then put in peppermint extract to taste. Soooo easy, and nobody knows its a Ritz cracker.

THIS blows my mind!! I was just watching Friends last night, the one where Ross becomes an honorary brownbird and has to sell a ton of cookies…anyway, I suddenly wanted thin mint ones. We can no longer get them in Canada it seems, all I ever see are chocolate and vanilla, never all the fancy ones you get in the US. I convinced myself I had to figure out a recipe, now, I don’t!!! Soooo excited to try these!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!
