I love thin mints so when I saw this recipe I stored it away and waited for the right time to make it. However, that right time is not this evening. In fact, the right time is never. This recipe calls for skills that I don't have on a good day, let alone after a non-stop weekend. It turned out so bad that I'm not going to post the recipe. First, the cookies turned out alright but the directions are nebulous as to the thickness they should be and how long they should be cooked. Next, the chocolate coating is impossible to get perfect. I ruined nearly a pound of chocolate by heating too fast. Let this rant be a lesson, if you are attempting to melt chocolate in the microwave, use half power and stir every 30 seconds. Alternatively, as I did on my second go round, save yourself the trouble and use a double boiler, you won't save much time and you won't risk screwing it up.
With that said, I'm posting the pictures sans recipe. If the reactions are good, I may reconsider and post the recipe. Even though my kitchen is coated in a protective layer of mint chocolate and I'm sure the ants will soon be marching like Sherman on Atlanta. In closing this recipe was a huge pain in the ass, not worth the time and that is why I'm not disseminating it. Even the pictures came out bad!
