Here is how to Make Healthy, Vegan Thin Mint Cookies
Craving Thin Mints but looking for a healthier option? This recipe provides a delicious, vegan alternative to the classic Girl Scout cookie, free from oil, wheat, and refined sugar.
The recipe utilizes just nine ingredients: oat flour, almond flour, a blend of unsweetened chocolate discs and date-sweetened chocolate chips, cashew butter, peppermint flavor, date paste, cacao powder, baking soda, and date sugar.
Making these healthier Thin Mints involves a few simple steps:
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Start by mixing the dry ingredients, followed by the wet ingredients. Then, combine the two mixtures.
- Roll and Cut the Dough: Roll the dough between two pieces of parchment paper to prevent sticking. Cut the rolled dough into 2-inch cookies.
- Bake: Bake the cookies until they are crispy.
- Coat with Chocolate: Dip the baked cookies in melted chocolate and refrigerate them to set.
