Recipe: Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies Copycat
Obviously, there are no girl scouts in Germany, being an American organization, and as such there are no girl scout cookies. But, for those who miss them, here's a copycat recipe. Thin Mint Copycat: 1 1/4 cups (155g) flour 1/2 cup (50g) baking cocoa Dash salt 1/2 cup (125g) butter 1 cup (200g) sugar 1 egg 1/2 tsp mint extract 4 oz. (100g) dark chocolate 1/4 cup (65g) butter Cream 1/2 cup (125g) butter with sugar, egg, salt and mint extract. Sift in flour and cocoa until mixture forms a thick dough. Roll out the dough on a sheet of baking paper, using flour to keep it from sticking. Cut out shapes, remove excess dough and place on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F or 180°C for about 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely. In a small bowl, melt dark chocolate and 1/4 cup or 65g of butter together. Spread onto cookies using the back of a spoon, or pipe on for a neater look. Allow the chocolate to set completely. Not having a box of purchased thin mint...
