Steve is back, and he wants to have some “Squirrel Scout” cookies! His favorite are the “not so thick” mints that consist of a chocolate wafer covered in chocolate and with a minty flavor. We decided we could make a vegan version of these cookies, and so that’s what we did! Whether you want an alternative to Girl Scout Cookies, or just want a thin mint cookie that’s super-easy to make at home, this recipe is right for you.

Vegan Thin Mints:

Ingredients:

12 chocolate wafer cookies
7 oz. vegan chocolate
1/2 tsp. peppermint extract

Melt 3/4 of the chocolate and then add the rest to temper it, melting all of the chocolate in a bowl. Add the peppermint extract to taste and mix until smooth. Dip each wafer into the chocolate, shaking off excess and cool on parchment paper until chocolate is set and shiny.

Makes 1 dozen.
