CHRISTMAS HOMEMADE THIN MINTS

We all know and love the classic Thin Mint Cookie, right?  But what are you to do when the craving for their minty deliciousness strikes during the holiday season, when there's not a box in sight?

Make your own Christmas homemade Thin Mint Cookies, that's what!


Mix up a batch of chocolate sugar cookies and dunk them in peppermint-laced chocolate to enjoy a homemade version of the iconic cookie ~ even when you there are no classic green boxes in sight.

Admittedly, there are a few steps to making these Thin Mints.  But for the Thin Mint lover, the flavor is spot-on ... making the steps so worth it when that Thin Mint craving strikes.


Ingredients
For the cookies:

  • 3/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp. peppermint extract
  • 1 & ½ c. all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

For the chocolate coating:

  • 14 oz. good-quality semi-sweet chocolate
  • 1/2 tsp. vegetable or canola oil
  • 1/2 tsp. peppermint extract
  • assorted Christmas sprinkles and/or crushed candy canes

Directions

  1. MAKE THE COOKIES:  In a mixing bowl, beat butter for about 30 seconds with an electric mixer at medium speed. Add sugar and beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add egg, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract and beat until well combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, gradually add flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined.

How to Make a Virgin Pink Grapefruit Mojito

This is a simple drink to make. However, a cocktail shaker really comes in handy with this one. You don’t want big, fat chunks of grapefruit floating around in your drink, so the strainer in the cocktail shaker eliminates the chunks. Also, a cocktail shaker is inexpensive and it’s a great tool to have on hand.

My Virgin Pink Grapefruit Mojito makes two servings. You’ll need 1/4 of a pink grapefruit, cut into small pieces. Be sure and remove the white pith that encases each section of grapefruit. It’s extremely bitter.


You’ll also need honey, about 12 mint leaves, and grapefruit soda or flavored water. I use flavored water to keep the calories down.

Place the grapefruit chunks, honey, and mint in a cocktail shaker. Using a muddler, mash the fruit until the juice is released. Add one cup ice cubes and a half cup flavored water. Attach the lid and shake it like it’s hot.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 pink grapefruit, cut into small chunks, seeds removed
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 12 fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 1/2 cup grapefruit flavored water
  • Ice cubes
  • Mint sprigs, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Place the grapefruit pieces, honey and mint in a cocktail shaker. Mash the fruit with a muddler until the juices are released.
  2. Add one cup small ice cubes. Attach the lid and shake well until combined.
  3. Divide between two ice-filled glasses.
