Love Thin Mints but hate waiting all year for them? Make my copycat no-bake Thin Mints at home any time you want them! They come together in minutes, are super simple, and taste amazing!

These super easy Thin Mint cookies taste every bit as good as the originals, and you can make a dozen quicker than you can say Girl Scout cookie! They have a rich chocolate flavor, crisp and crunchy texture, and the perfect amount of peppermint in each bite. Dare I say they are even better than the real deal!

If you are someone who is a thin mint fan but would like some nutritious elements and protein in your desserts, then look no further because I’ve got the perfect solution: fudgy thin mint chocolate protein cookies.

This twist on the classic girl scout cookie combines the familiar flavors of chocolate and mint with the added benefits of protein. I love that they have the same taste, smell, and crunch of traditional thin mints and are made with simple, whole ingredients. They are low sugar, don’t require baking, and freeze perfectly so you always have a treat ready for when that sweet tooth kicks in!

Not only are these cookies delicious, but they are also gluten-free and dairy free, making them perfect for a wide range of dietary preferences.

Now let’s talk about the taste and texture. These cookies are fudgy, rich, and bursting with chocolatey goodness! The addition of peppermint extract gives them a refreshing minty flavor that perfectly complements the chocolate. They are soft yet chewy, with a satisfyingly dense texture that will leave you reaching for seconds.

To enhance the protein content and create a more substantial treat, I opted to make these cookies larger than the classic thin mint. By shaping them into larger, thicker rounds, each cookie packs a satisfying punch of protein, making it an ideal post-workout snack or a quick breakfast option on busy mornings 🙂

However, for those craving the traditional thin and crispy texture of the classic cookies, fear not! These versatile treats can easily be made smaller and thinner, resembling their girl scout inspiration.

These copycat Girl Scout Thin Mints taste incredibly close to the real thing and take all of 15 minutes to make! Sweet, minty, and light, they are a perfect sweet treat to keep in the freezer for a quick snack or after dinner dessert.
