These are my favorite cookies to make:
STARLIGHT MINT SURPRISE COOKIES
3 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c soft butter
2 eggs
1/2 c dark brown sugar, packed
1 tsp vanilla
2 (6 1/2 oz) pkg thin mints
walnut halves (optional)
Combine all ingredients except mints and walnuts in mixing bowl. Blend until dough forms. Take approximately 2 tsp of dough and wrap around 1 thin mint. Make sure there are no gaps in dough or peppermint will leak out while baking. Smooth edges, press 1/2 walnut into top and bake at 375 for 9 - 12 minutes on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
You may need more than 2 pkgs of thin mints as they don’t have as many mints in the package as they did when this recipe was created. The plainness of the cookie dough is balanced by the chocolate and mint for a very unique cookie.
You know, I’ve been looking for a mint cookie recipe - thanks! I just made the mint cookie recipe on Allrecipes.com named “Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies. Basically, it’s Betty Crocker’s sugar cookie pouch mix with 6 drops of green food coloring, 1/4 teas mint extract and 1 cup Andes mint baking chips (or crushed Andes Mints) plus 1 cup bittersweet (or other dark) chocolate chips. Can’t complain too much about the convenience! My mint-o-phile friend loved them. I thought they were kind of pretty tinted slightly green like that. Now I gotta try your mint recipe!
Oh. My. God. I’m in love, LOL!
Printed! Thanks!
