I remember growing up and usually in the Fall, the Girl Scout Cookies would be available to purchase (not to mention I was one as a child). We would always buy so many boxes of cookies because everyone in my family loved them. Now, I am currently in the UK and unless I want them shipped to me, I can't get them. I am also eating gluten free at the moment, which wouldn't allow me to eat them even if they were available here. So I decided to make my own! Check out my Gluten Free Thin Mints, which are super fun and easy to make.
*Makes: 32 cookies
Ingredients
For the cookies:
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 4 ounces (120g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 3/4 cup (120g) gluten-free plain flour
- 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 cup (40g) cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (100g) sugar
- 1/2 pound (300g) total of dark chocolate (150g) & milk chocolate (150g), chopped
- 1 tablespoon peppermint extract (or more, to your liking)
