Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of Thin Mint cookies (or mint-flavored cookies of choice)
- 1 package white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermints
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional for thinning chocolate)
Instructions
- Begin by melting the white chocolate chips. You can do this by placing them in a microwave-safe bowl and heating them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- If desired, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate for a smoother texture.
- Dip each Thin Mint cookie into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Place the dipped cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Immediately sprinkle the crushed peppermints over the cookies while the chocolate is still soft.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely and the chocolate to harden.
- Once set, package the cookies in festive gift bags or enjoy them yourself!
Notes
- You can use any mint-flavored cookies, but Thin Mints are perfect for that classic flavor.
- If you can’t find crushed peppermints, peppermint extract can be used in the chocolate for flavor.
