Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix together the dry ingredients for the cookies: flour, cocoa, salt, and baking soda.
• Mix together the wet ingredients for the cookies: maple syrup, oil, and mint.
• Mix together the ingredients for the cookies until well combined.
• Using wet/damp hands (so the dough doesn't stick), make about 16 small, round Thin Mint-sized discs (the dough should be about 1/8 inch in thickness).
• Place the cookies onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
• Bake the cookies for 11-14 minutes, until tops appear baked.
• Immediately out of the oven, press down on each cookie with a fork to further flatten the tops and eliminate the small amount of air present (this contributes to making the cookie crispy).
• Place the cookies in the freezer while you prepare the chocolate coating (or for about 10 minutes until cool to the touch).
• Whisk together the ingredients for the chocolate coating until smooth.
• Once cooled, dip each cookie into the coating, covering it completely.
• Place the cookies onto a large wax paper-lined plate and into the freezer to harden.
• Enjoy once the chocolate coating has solidified, but keep in the freezer for best storage (especially if using coconut oil in the coating, as this melts quickly).
