Thin Minties

Here's a pic of the homemade thin mints. I made them a little larger than the ones the Scouts make. They turned out pretty well I think. I would say they were better out of the freezer - but in this case I think the cold dulls the subtle mint flavor. No, I liked them today - the day after making them. And so did my coworkers. :)

I decided to make my own cookies because they are pretty tasty cookies and my husband loves them. Plus I just can't in good conscience advocate buying a $4 box of cookies, which are in essence pretty unhealthy. Plus something like only 17% of the profits go to the Girl Scouts (compared to the 30% that Boy Scouts garner from their popcorn but we won't go there right now)
