Do you have too many girl scout cookies (I know, I know is there such a thing?)

If anyone want to try to make their own thin mints I got this recipe emailed to me from one of my recipe email lists. I haven't tried it yet but it sounds good!

Girl Scout Thin Mints Recipe

Serving Size : 108

Cookie

1 package Betty Crocker chocolate fudge cake mix -- (18.25ounce)

3 tablespoons shortening -- melted

1/2 cup cake flour -- measured then sifted

1 egg

3 tablespoons water

Non-stick cooking spray

Coating

3 12 ounce bags semisweet chocolate chips

3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

6 tablespoons shortening

1. Combine the cookie ingredients in a large bowl, adding the water a little bit at a time until the dough forms. Cover and chill for 2hours.

2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

3. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a portion of the dough to just under 1/16 of an inch thick. To cut, use a lid from a spice container with a 1 1/2-inch diameter Arrange the cut dough rounds on a cookie sheet that is sprayed with a light coating on non-stick spray. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the wafers from the oven and cool completely.

4. Combine chocolate chips with peppermint extract and shortening in a large microwave - safe glass or ceramic bow. Heat on 50 percent power for 2 minutes, stir gently, then heat for an addition minute. Stir once again, and if chocolate is not a smooth consistency, continue to zap in microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.

5. Use a fork to dip each wafer in the chocolate, tap the fork on the edge of the bowl so that the excess chocolate runs off, and then place the cookies side-by-side on a wax paper - lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until firm
