Description

Chocolate-covered mint cookies that are crispy, vegan, and loaded with nostalgic flavor. Inspired by Thin Mints, but made cleaner with coconut oil and dairy-free chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)

½ cup cocoa powder (Dutch-processed)

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

⅓ cup melted coconut oil or vegan butter

⅔ cup organic cane sugar

2 tbsp plant-based milk (almond or oat)

1 tsp pure peppermint bean

1 tsp vanilla bean

1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips

1 tsp coconut oil (for melting chocolate)


Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl, mix melted coconut oil, sugar, plant milk, vanilla, and peppermint bean until smooth.

3. Combine wet and dry mixtures and stir into a dough. Wrap in parchment and chill for 30 minutes.

4. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough between parchment and cut 2-inch rounds.

5. Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are firm. Let cool.

6. Melt chocolate chips with 1 tsp coconut oil using a double boiler.

7. Dip each cookie in chocolate, let excess drip, and place on parchment.

8. Refrigerate cookies for 30 minutes to set chocolate.

Notes

For extra flair, sprinkle crushed candy canes or cocoa nibs on the chocolate before it sets.

Cookies freeze well and are delicious straight from the freezer.

For a flavor twist, try spearmint bean or orange-infused dark chocolate.
