Outrageous Chocolate Mint Cookies image

Similar to a brownie in texture, this pleasantly chewy cookie mimics the flavors of the Girl Scouts' beloved Thin Mints. (Maybe you'll want to rename these delicious morsels Thick Mints.) -Tina Cowan, Chandler, Arizona

These cookies are the perfect combination of chocolate and mint. They're not too minty, and they're not too chocolatey. They're just right! I love to serve them with a glass of cold milk.

These cookies are so festive! The green color and the chocolate chips make them perfect for Christmas or St. Patrick's Day. I also like to add a few drops of green food coloring to the dough to make them even more festive.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover chocolate chips. I always have a bag of chocolate chips in my pantry, so I can make these cookies anytime I have a craving for something sweet.

I'm not a big fan of mint, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The mint flavor is subtle and refreshing, and it pairs perfectly with the chocolate. I'll definitely be making these again.

I love the combination of chocolate and mint in these cookies. They're so rich and decadent, but the mint keeps them from being too heavy. I also love the green color of the cookies - they're so festive!

These cookies were a huge hit with my family! They're perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with just the right amount of mint flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
