This is post #4 in a 3 week series of Girl Scout Cookie-inspired recipes! This week: Thin Mint Recipes!<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s hard to believe that Thin Mint week has come and gone so quickly! But here we are, at the very last Thin Mint recipe.<\/p>\n

This is the only recipe I’ve made this week that doesn’t use the actual cookie in the making. Instead, I wanted to loosely replicate the girl scout cookie from scratch.<\/p>\n

It’s not an exact copycat, but it is<\/em> delicious and a lot easier to make than dipping chocolate cookies! Chocolate shortbread always tastes sort of like brownies to me, which I love. These have a little bit of mint flavoring (which you can choose to increase a bit from what this recipe calls for if you’re a bigger mint fan than I am) and a hefty chocolate drizzle– so the Thin Mint flavors are all there, just arranged a little differently.<\/p>\n

I used both chocolate and green melting candy as a drizzle, just to give you a minty visual. But feel free to leave the green out and just drizzle chocolate!<\/p>\n

You can also sprinkle some fresh mint on top for a fresh take (or one of our\u00a0recommended mint substitutes).<\/p>\n
