$5 Friday — (Semi)Homemade Thin Mints and More!
For today’s $5 Friday, we made semi-homemade thin mints and took a trip to the local public library. These cookies are so easy to make and taste just like the Girl Scout version — perfect for when they are not selling cookies and your stash has run out!
To make your own semi-homemade thin mint cookies, you will need 1 bag Hershey’s Mint Chocolate Chips, 1 box of Anna’s Thin Mint cookies, and a little shortening.
Melt half the bag of mint chocolate chips in a double boiler and add about a teaspoon of shortening.
The cookies are very fragile, so we brushed the chocolate on very gently and placed another cookie on top and brushed on more chocolate. Yummm!
