Easy a Cake, Thin Mints

DSC08590As promised here is a Thin Mint recipe for you all to enjoy! I promise I am not trying to put the Girl Scouts out of business! My body just knows it is that time of year for these delectable morsels! I searched the internet and all of the wonderful recopies' that were out there, I debated  which one I would choose. Then as I sat last night talking to my husband I decided I knew how I was going to make them! These are  the easiest recipe, you will use a cake mix (get the title easy as cake! ha ha) and they taste AMAZING!
Items needed:
  • Chocolate Cake mix ( I prefer Betty Crocker's Triple Fudge, more chocolate!!)
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • Chocolate Bark (to melt and dip cookies in) or a bag of Andes' Mints would work.
  • 3 Tsp of Mint ExtractDSC08569
I made the cookie inside the Thin mint by melting the 1/2 cup butter, then add the cake mix and egg. Once it is complete mixed add 2 tsp of Mint Extract. Then simple scoop into little balls on to your cookie sheet. I used a mini scooper just so mine were a little more even.DSC08570 Bake at 350* for 8-10 minutes. Remove and let cool. At this point they will smell incredible, buy try to refrain from eating them all. DSC08572Next up melt your chocolate bark, I used a complete package. Add your last Tsp of mint extract to the chocolate. Or if you can find the Andes' baking mints, I imagine they would be good too. Simply Dip all of your cookies and let cool in refrigerator. DSC08590These were so yummy! Using the cake mix it made 50 cookies. I had to send most to work with my husband or I would have polished them off all by myself!!
The diet starts Monday right! ;)
~Enjoy,  Kori

    I was inspired by your mint cookies to make something minty of mine own. I've given you some props on my page!

    You have unknowingly undone all my dieting for the last several years. :) Since they are a cross between my two favorite cookies, Thin Mints and those devils' food cookies from the store, I should never make these... but undoubtedly will. Thanks for the recipe!
