Ingredients You’ll Need
- Andes Baking Chips – easy-melting mint-chocolate chips for full coverage.
- Ritz Crackers – buttery, crunchy base that gives that cookie-like texture.
- Sprinkles (optional) – a festive touch for holidays, birthdays, or showers.
How to Make Thin Mint Cookies
These are so easy, fun, delicious!
Step 1 – Melt the chocolate
Place the Andes Baking Chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 2 – Dip the crackers
Take a Ritz Cracker and with a fork submerge it into the melted chocolate, ensuring the entire cracker is covered.
Step 3 – Drain excess and place
Lift the cracker with the fork and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Then place each coated cracker onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4 – Add sprinkles (optional)
If you’re adding sprinkles for a holiday, shower, or birthday theme, sprinkle them over each cookie before the chocolate hardens.
Step 5 – Let them set
Allow the cookies to sit for about 20-30 minutes until the chocolate is fully hardened. Then they’re ready to serve, package, or move to a presentation plate.
Tips & Variations
- Want a mintier hit? Add ¼ tsp peppermint extract to the melted chocolate.
- Use holiday-themed sprinkles to match your event theme.
- These cookies freeze well — store in an airtight container and freeze up to 2-3 months.
- Use flavored Ritz crackers (e.g., Hint of Salt) for a slightly different crunch.
- For a drizzle look, reserve a small amount of chocolate, melt it separately, and drizzle back over the cookies after they’ve set.
Perfect For:
- Party snack tables
- Birthday showers or holiday get-togethers
- Gifting in cellophane bags
- Quick treat when you crave mint-chocolate crunch
- Easy dessert to keep on hand for spontaneous occasions
