Girl Scout Cookie Thin Mint Terrine Recipes

MOCK GIRL SCOUT THIN MINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Melt chocolate coating.
• I melt mine in a large bowl in the microwave.
• Stir in the peppermint oil and the shortening.
• Dip Ritz crackers in chocolate cover completely.
• Place coated crackerers on waxed paper and let sit until chocolate is hard.
• Store in air tight container.

THIN MINT COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup butter or margarine until creamy. Add the sugar, and beat until mixed well. Beat in egg and mint extract.
• Sift flour, cocoa, and salt together into a small bowl. Add flour mixture by halves into creamed mixture, beating well after each addition.
• Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface roll dough into two 1 1/2 inch diameter cylinders. Wrap each cylinder in waxed paper, and refrigerate 5 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Thirty minutes prior to baking, place both cylinders in freezer.
• Remove one cylinder at a time, and slice 1/4 inch thick pieces with very sharp knife. Place on cookie sheets about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes.
• Melt 1/4 cup butter or margarine and the semisweet chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave. Drizzle over warm cookies. Place on wire racks, and let cool and harden completely.

THIN MINT TRIFLE

Steps:

• Prepare a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and the cake mix according to package directions. Stir in 1 cup of the chopped cookies into the batter. Bake the cake according to package directions and let cool completely. Once cool, cut the cake into 1-inch square pieces, set aside.
• Whip together the cream, corn syrup and vanilla together, in a medium bowl, with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until medium peaks form.
• Assemble the trifle: Layer half of the cake pieces on bottom of the trifle dish. Evenly spread half of the whipped cream over the cake and to the edge of the trifle dish. Sprinkle all but 2 tablespoons of the chopped cookies over the whipped cream. Dollop all of the vanilla pudding over the cookie layer and spread evenly to the edge of the trifle dish. Evenly top with the remaining cake. Then dollop with the remaining whipped cream. Sprinkle with the reserved cookies and mint.
• Refrigerate for at least 4 hours up to overnight. Use a long-handled serving spoon to scoop.

EASY GIRL SCOUT THIN MINTS

Steps:

• Melt mints and morsels in microwave or double boiler.
• Dip Ritz crackers in chocolate mixture ( I use my little ice tongs to make it easy).
• Place on wax paper lined cookie sheet.
• If you want to decorate cookies with sprinkles, you have to do it before the chocolate dries -- after every 3 or 4 cookies.
• When sheet is full, refrigerate for 15 minutes.
• Peel cookies from wax paper (can be used again for next batch).
• Store in tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. They go fast. I've kept them as long as a week if they were well hidden.
• The computer wouldn't let me put it in the list of ingredients, but I use Andes Mint Bits found in the baking aisle.
