How to level up your homemade Thin Mints
These copycat cookies are delightful on their own, but if you're looking to elevate them, feel free to get creative. Use them as a base for a subtly minty s'more by replacing graham crackers, or transform them into mini ice cream sandwiches—vanilla or chocolate ice cream would be great, but for a true Thin Mint experience, go for mint chocolate chip.
Alternatively, you can top each cookie with a dollop of whipped cream or marshmallow fluff for a lighter option that balances the rich chocolate flavor. During the holiday season, a festive sprinkle of crushed candy cane right after coating them in chocolate can turn these treats into a charming gift. Their resemblance to the seasonal favorite, Christmas crack, which features salted crackers like Ritz covered in caramel and chocolate, makes them even more special.
If you're feeling adventurous, try crushing or chopping the cookies to use as a garnish for milkshakes or hot drinks like peppermint hot chocolate. They also make a great topping for cakes and other baked goods, or you can mix pieces into your homemade ice cream (no machine needed!). Whatever you decide, be sure to make a large batch—just like the original Thin Mint, these cookies will disappear quickly!
