My son's wife threatened to beat me up when I took the few left over home. Only thing I changed, I did not add the butter to the semisweet chocolate for the coating.

Great cookies! My family (chocoholics) found they tasted even better with a chocolate coating on the outside. All I did was melt some chocolate over a double broiler and then dipped each cookie into it.

Great recipe! Taste like girl scout thin mints! I didn't add the butter in the second part of the recipe, just melt the chocolate to dip the cookies in. I suggest doubling or even tripling the amount of chocolate you use to dip the cookies in so that they have a layer of chocolate around them all the way. I also used more pure mint extract then in the recipe. also remove them from pans while still warm otherwise they will stick and crumble when you take them off the pans. Other then that that great recipe and I would make them again.

The mint is a little too overpowering, so I'd cut back on that. However, if you double the chocolate you used for drizzling, you can coat the cookies, and everything tastes perfect.

I made adjustments to this recipe and to me they taste JUST like girl scout cookies. I added 3 times the mint, used 1/2 coconut oil and 1/2 butter (to make them a little more healthy), and I added 1/2 tsp baking soda (to counter act the "taste like rocks" comments many people left.) I only cooked them until they were stiff (not hard), I found they would harden up outside of the oven. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, butter, and added mint to the chocolate as well. I just kind of spread the chocolate over the cookies. I had to use a LOT of butter to get the chocolate runny enough to do anything with (maybe because of the mint I added?) They won't harden, but I would keep them in the freezer anyway. Mine didn't turn our pretty, but oh do they taste good!

Tried this today and I loved it!!! For my chocolate coating I just used microwaveable melting chocolate. The brand I used was Guittard. I added a little but of peppermint extract to the chocolate coating. These came out very tasty.

Amazing. I couldn't stop snacking on them. Perfect amount of mint. Wouldn't change a thing.

Inedibly bad. First off, they need to be thinner (I made them varying thickness, but I'd say go with about 1/8 inch). Secondly, they need to be crisper. They were doughy like a brownie. So cook them longer (or don't use this recipe). And thirdly, the mint taste wasn't right. I used mint extract, btw, not peppermint, as some reviewers suggested. The chocolate coating didn't save them at all. I tried some totally covered in chocolate and some with chocolate drizzle. The problem was the cookie to start with.

I was a little worried after reading all the reviews that these would be too minty, not minty enough, chewy or crumbly...but I followed the recipe almost exactly and they came out perfect! I sliced mine to 1/4" and they were delicious, not as crunchy as the girls scout cookies but that didn't take away from them at all. I left them in for the maximum time listed in order to try and get them crisp. I refrigerated overnight so I didn't bother freezing before baking. For the chocolate coating, I bought the Wilton melting candies from a craft store in dark cocoa mint and they tasted exactly like thin mints. They were a hit at the cookie exchange and so delicious!

Such a Treat! They were delicious and just the right texture. The directions said drizzle the chocolate. I ended up dipping the cookies in the chocolate to get them totally covered and they turned out great. (I ended up using two times the required chocolate/butter miX) I added some mint extract to the melted chocolate (barely 1/4 teaspoon) and it enhanced the mint flavor. So yummy-thanks :)
