Best Mint Cookie Cookies Recipes

MINT COOKIE COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, white and dark sugars. Beat in the egg, water and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Blend flour mixture into the butter mixture, and stir well. Wrap dough in waxed paper and chill at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Cover each thin mint with 1 tablespoon of dough. Place on cookie sheet and top with a pecan.
• Bake at 375 for 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool slightly on cookie sheet before removing to racks.

MINT COOKIES AND CREAM COOKIE PIE

Steps:

• PREP! Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat the baking sheet and chosen baking pan with baking spray.
• MIX THE DRY! In a medium bowl, mix the flour, cocoa powder, milk powder, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
• MIX THE WET AND COMBINE! In a large bowl, and using a wooden spoon or sturdy rubber spatula, mix the butter and both sugars, flexing your muscles for about 2 minutes, until they are fully combined. Add the egg, mint, and vanilla and stir until combined and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. (If your dough is exceptionally wet-if it looks really shiny or oily-your butter was likely too hot. Throw it in the fridge for a few minutes to firm up before continuing on.)
• CHOCOLATE TIME! Fold in the white chocolate chips, chocolate chips, and crushed cookies. (Save a few tablespoons of each for the next step, though.)
• SPREAD, SPRINKLE, AND BAKE! Place the prepared baking pan on top of the baking sheet. Smoosh your dough into the bottom of the pan. Using your hands, pat the dough down evenly to the edges. Sprinkle some extra cookies and chocolate chips around the inside edge of your ring as decoration. Bake the cookie at 350°F for 18 to 20 minutes. Double-check that you set the timer; because this cookie is already dark brown it's tricky to tell by sight when it's ready to take out of the oven. The timer is your best friend! Using oven mitts, remove the baking sheet and pan from the oven and let the cookie cool completely on the baking sheet (about 25 minutes). Cut the cookie into 8 slices, like a pizza. Store the slices on a plate, wrapped well in plastic, for up to 1 week.

MINT-COOKIE ICE CREAM MADE WITH GIRL SCOUT THIN MINT COOKIES

Steps:

• Combine cream, milk, mint, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Immediately remove from heat and let steep at least 1 hour and up to overnight, covered, in the refrigerator.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar and yolks; set aside. Remove mint from cream mixture; discard mint. Bring milk mixture just to a simmer. Using a measuring cup or ladle, slowly pour about 1/2 cup hot milk mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, whisking constantly. Continue adding milk mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, until it has all been added.
• Pour mixture back into saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 3 to 5 minutes. The custard should retain a line drawn across the back of the spoon with your finger. Pour through a fine sieve into a medium bowl. Stir occasionally until cooled. Cover and transfer to refrigerator until chilled, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Pour custard into a 2-quart ice cream maker; add chopped thin mints and process according to manufacturers' instructions until set but not hard.
• Transfer the soft ice cream to a loaf pan, cover and freeze at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
