Ingredients

For the Thin Mints

  • ¾ cup packed almond flour 90 g
  • ¼ cup oat flour 30 g
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder 10 g
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup 30 g
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil 30 g
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp peppermint extract
  • pinch of sea salt

For the Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips 150 g
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil 15 g
  • ¼ tsp peppermint extract

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine all of the cookie ingredients, stirring well to combine. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350˚F (180˚C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. 
  • After 15 minutes, remove the dough from the fridge and shape dough into balls, using 1 tbsp of dough each. Place dough balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with parchment paper and use a rolling pin or glass jar to flatten dough balls to about ¼ inch thick small circle. You may want to use your hands and/or a spoon to shape the edges of the cookies into a smooth circle.
  • Bake at 350˚F (180˚C) for 13-15 minutes, until the bottoms of the cookies are set.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the pan for at least 15 minutes.
  • Melt together the chocolate coating ingredients in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring gently between increments.
  • Once cookies are cooled enough to handle, use a fork to dip each in the chocolate coating, tapping off any excess chocolate on the edge of the bowl. Place cookies back on the pan to set.
  • Place the tray in the fridge until the chocolate has completely hardened and enjoy!
