I created these melt-in-your-mouth thin mints for a cookie exchange, and everyone raved about them. They're often requested by my family and have become one of my daughter's favorites. To switch up the flavor, try using different extracts instead of peppermint. -Michelle Kester, Cleveland, Ohio

How lovely...crisp and light and wonderfully chocolate-ey and minty. Disappeared in a flash at my house! Thanks for sharing, Michelle!

Similar to Grasshopper cookies.

Just like girl scout cookies.

Another option is to mix in peanut butter instead of mint. Amazing!

These were great! My husband ate them all that night, and said they were just like the girl scout cookies.

I didn't feel like hunting the grocery stores for dark chocolate candy coating, so I used semi-sweet chocolate chips. They are okay, but I'm not impressed. Maybe they would be better with the candy coating it calls for.
