Copycat Thin Mint Cookies

What if I told you that you could enjoy Girl Scout cookies all year long without having to purchase hundreds of boxes ahead of time? I’m here to tell you that you can make your own homemade Copycat Tagalong Cookies that will taste just as good as the boxed version. I would still encourage you to support the troops and buy a few boxes of your favorites for convenience.

I have yet another great copycat recipe for you! You will be able to enjoy your favorite Girl Scout cookie all year long with this Copycat Girl Scout Thin Mints cookie recipe. The homemade version is much cheaper and tastes just as good as the original. You might find you have a new homemade favorite.

Girl Scout Thin Mints cookies were the ones my mom always bought because she thought the kids would stay out of them! We do the same in our household now but the kids got the last laugh when they finished off our last box of Girl Scout cookies, which happened to be the Thin Mints! Luckily, I can make these at home anytime I want!
