These No Bake Fifteen Minute Thin Mints are a quick and easy treat that replicates the classic Girl Scout cookie flavor with a minty twist. Made with Oreo cookie wafers coated in a smooth semisweet chocolate infused with peppermint oil, they are perfect for satisfying your chocolate-mint cravings without any baking required.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 20 Oreo cookies

Chocolate Coating

  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate
  • 2–3 drops crème de menthe oil flavoring (or peppermint oil flavoring)

Instructions

  1. Separate Oreos: Carefully separate the Oreo cookies, scraping off the cream filling and discarding it or enjoying it separately.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate at 50% power, stirring every 30-60 seconds until smooth. Alternatively, melt chocolate in a double boiler on the stovetop.
  3. Add Mint Flavoring: Stir 2-3 drops of crème de menthe or peppermint oil flavoring into the melted chocolate until fully incorporated.
  4. Coat Wafers: Rest a chocolate wafer on the tines of a fork and lower it into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated.
  5. Drain Excess Chocolate: Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl, then place the coated cookie on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Repeat & Chill: Repeat the coating process for all remaining chocolate wafers. Refrigerate the cookies until the chocolate is fully set, about 10-15 minutes.

Notes

  • You can enjoy the removed Oreo filling separately or discard it as preferred.
  • The chocolate melting can be done carefully on the stovetop with a double boiler if you prefer not to use a microwave.
  • Use a high-quality peppermint or crème de menthe oil flavoring to achieve the authentic Thin Mint flavor.
  • Store finished cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For a firmer chocolate shell, refrigerate for at least 15 minutes before serving.
