Girl Scout cookies are awesome, and I'm all for buying them from actual Girl Scouts, but they are only available for a few weeks every year. What's a chocolate mint lover to do when there are no cookies to be had?
This is the perfect copycat Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookie that is even better than the original! Perfect for cookie exchanges, picnics, and holiday parties!
In a large bowl, beat the room temperature butter and sugar together with an electric mixer. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract and stir.
Place half of dough on a piece of parchment paper. Place another piece of parchment on top and roll it to a thickness of ¼-inch. Repeat with the other half of the dough.
Remove one half of chilled dough and use a 2-inch round cookie cutter to cut 28 circles. As you cut the disks, transfer them to a prepared baking sheets.
Dip the cooled cookies into the melted chocolate, removing any excess chocolate. Transfer the coated cookies to a clean piece of parchment paper to harden and cool.
