A couple of weeks ago, my mom and I pulled up at the grocery store to buy one thing. I was going to stay in the car with my daughter while my mom ran inside, but then I saw them. Two cute little girl scouts selling girl scout cookies outside the grocery store.
So I obviously had to get out of the car and I went and bought 3 boxes of girl scout cookies. How could I resist!?!?
But when did they get so expensive? $4.00 a box? Ouch! I know it will date me, but I think I used to sell them for $2.00 or $2.50 a box...oh well. Point is, I love girl scout cookies and that $12.00 I spent was SO worth every penny!
Then, a wonderful reader, Paisley and Polka Dots, shared her recipe for Thin Mints at a link party I had a few weeks back. Oh yum!
I had hoped to have finished making mine before I posted this, but, alas, mine are still in progress!
So for now, hop on over HERE to Paisley and Polka Dots and check out her recipe! While you are there, check out some of her other great ideas and leave her a nice comment or two!
Then, whip up a batch of thin mint cookies and tell me how they turn out!
Later tonight I will hopefully post my finished Thin Mint photos for you to see.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thanks for featuring my cookies Ashley!! This was so sweet! Alright, so I'm waiting to hear- how did they turn out? They aren't the real thing that you just bought (I agree, $4 is rediculous), but they are the next best thing!!

Amy - The ritz cracker idea sounds good. I have a similar recipe, but not mint, using saltines...I should pull it out! They are yummy! I would love to get the recipe for your ritz cracker mint and chocolate cookies!
