Thin Mint Cookie Balls

Thin Mint Cookie Balls!

There really isn't much more to say!  Except that I made these a year ago.  Forgot to take photos before I ate them all, and then never got around to making them again until this week.

But boy are they yummy!

Thin+Mint+Cookie+Balls+01 Thin Mint Cookie Balls 7
Very similar to the Oreo Balls that everyone loves!  And similar again to my Nutter Butter Cookie Balls I posted about last year.  
But made with yummy, delicious, amazing Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies.  Or, Keebler Grasshopper cookies if it isn't Girl Scout cookie time 🙂
Thin Mint Cookie Balls
Yield:  approx 22 cookie balls


Ingredients:
  • 1 box Thin Mint Cookies (or Keebler Grasshopper cookies)
  • 4 oz Cream Cheese, room temperature
  • 1 package Milk Chocolate Chips (semi or dark would work as well if that is your preference)
Thin+Mint+Cookie+Balls+02 Thin Mint Cookie Balls 8

Directions:

  1. Use a food processor to finely chop/crush your cookies.
  2. Use a stand mixer to mix your cream cheese and cookie crumbs.  If you don't want to get your stand mixer dirty however, or don't have one, you can also combine these ingredients with your hands.  This will create a thick, rich dough.
  3. Roll into balls using approximately 1 Tbs of dough per ball.  Let cool in fridge for approx. 15 minutes.
  4. Melt chocolate in a microwave safe dish on 50% power for 30 seconds at a time, mixing in between.  See here for more chocolate melting tips and tricks.
  5. Dip balls in melted chocolate, tapping off excess.  Place on wax paper or foil.  
  6. If you like, you can take your fork or knife to drizzle additional chocolate on the top on the balls.  
  7. Leave your cookie balls on wax paper or foil until chocolate is set.  You can place these in the fridge if you are impatient and want the chocolate to set quicker 🙂
I have tried both dark chocolate and milk chocolate coating and prefer the milk chocolate, but you really can use whatever you prefer!
These really are very rich cookie balls so you might need a glass of milk to go with these.  But they are oh-so-yummy!  
I loved them, my kids loved them, my husband loved them!  They are really delicious!

Happy baking!

    Those look amazing! The trick would be to somehow not eat that box of thin mints first. . .

    I have a lil 9 year old neighbor who is my cooking pupil. We made these today and they are unbelievably good. Very, very easy to make and they turned out exactly as pictured. If a 9 yo can make them, surely we all can. I highly recommend these.

    I made these today with my little 9 yo neighbor cooking pupil. They are extremely easy to make and are unbelievably rich and delicious. They turned out just like the picture. We only made one addition and that is we drizzled melted white chocolate on them. If a 9 yo can make them, surely we all can.
