Girl Scout Mint Cookies

Here’s a version of the Girl Scout Mint Cookies recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder
• 1 package of chocolate chips
• 2-3 drops Wilton’s Candy Mint Flavoring (or to taste)

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the Cookie Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Devil’s Food Cake Mix, eggs, water, cooking oil, and cocoa powder.
   • Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. The dough will be very sticky.
   • Let the mixture stand for 20 minutes.

3. Shape the Cookies:

   • After resting, shape the dough into tiny balls, about 1/2 inch in diameter.
   • Place the balls on a cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
   • Use a large spoon with cooking spray (like Pam) to flatten each ball into a cookie shape.

4. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 8 minutes, or until the cookies are set.
   • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet until they reach room temperature.

5. Prepare the Chocolate Coating:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, heat the chocolate chips until completely melted.
   • Once melted, add a couple of drops of the mint flavoring. Be careful not to add too much, as it has a potent flavor.

6. Coat the Cookies:

   • You can either spread the melted chocolate on top of the cookies or dip the cookies into the chocolate to coat them.

7. Let Set:

   • Allow the chocolate to set before serving.

Enjoy your delicious Girl Scout Mint Cookies!
