Paleo GRAIN-FREE THIN MINT COPYCATS (A.K.A. GRASSHOPPER COOKIES)

By

If you haven’t heard, Girl Scout cookies have GMOs (genetically modified organisms). These grain-free, dairy-free Thin Mint Copycats don’t. Seriously, it was just like biting into one of THESE grasshopper cookies, but without any of THESE nasty ingredients!

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, oil, syrup and 1/2 tsp peppermint extract.
Stir into dry ingredients until combined.
Scoop out about a TBSP or so of dough, roll in hands into a ball, then flatten.
Tip: If you want the cookie crunchy all the way through, make them on the thin side. If you want a bit of softness in the middle, don’t flatten them TOO much.

Bake in oven for 10 minutes.
While those are baking, add chocolate chips and 1/2 tsp peppermint extract to double boiler and melt.
Once melted, remove from heat and let cool partially.
Remove cookies from oven and let cool for 2 minutes on baking sheet before removing to wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, carefully dip the cookies in the melted chocolate and place back onto parchment-covered baking sheet.
Place in fridge or freezer to chill.
These taste AWESOME frozen and crunchy.
