Spill. What’s your favorite Girl Scout Cookie?
Before I took on my vow of chastity for all things gluten, I used to get down on some Girl Scout cookies.
Flavor? All of them.
Amount? All of them.
Time of Day? All of them.
As you can see, this presents a problem both on a gluten level and a sanity level. You could say I was crazy for GS Cookies. Still am, btw. One of my favorites was the Thin Mints. They came in those beautiful, compact cellophane sleeves and were intended to be one serving. So, two sleeves per box equals two servings. That’s math, right?
Moving on. I don’t know why I’ve lived without these little darlings in my life, probably because I have portion control problems, but I decided to do it anyway because I’m in my prime and I deserve a treat. Basically, I did it all for the cookie (and for all of you I guess).
Gluten-Free Thin Mints
See photo below for how you can literally use anything as a cookie cutter.
You’ll be witnessing me using a plastic push pop mold.
They don’t necessarily look like a traditional GS cookie yet but they are also
made of almond flour so get off your high horse.
(if you were being judgy…if not, stay on your normal height horse)
Dip them in chocolate spiked with mint extract.
Milk in shot glasses because I’m classy AF.
Try it sometime.
First attempt (of many) to drop a cookie in a shot glass!
Fail.
Twenty-seventh attempt and last of the cookies…
Success.

Hi Dennis!
So I find this happening depending on the brand of almond flour I use but most of the opposite. IF it’s too dry, start with a 1/4 c of warm water and that should do the trick. Make sure you really mix well too and let the butter melt into the mixture.
Let me know if it still gives you trouble!
I like your action shots! These sound very delicious and it seems like most of your recipes are 10 ingredients or less? If so, you’ve come up with hot commodity recipes!
Your pictures are the best. I got a good laugh at the cookie that missed the shot glass haha I noticed there was already a milk mess too. I’ve never had a girl guide cookie though….
By the way, I mentioned you in my blog post today.
I did do a little cleaning up before I got my perfect shot. Gotta make a mess, right?!?! 😂
Definitely. Cookies and milk call for a bit of sloppiness
Ha, I just ate a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie TODAY! 😀 I ate just one. I’m one of those weird people who just want a taste of something. Like, I can honestly have just one chip for the taste.
Well done with these! Love the cookie in glass of milk attempt and success shots! 😀
I wish I was a one and done taste kind of gal! I had to put these in the freezer and portion them out because I wanted to eat three at a time hahah! Thanks for appreciating my attempts. All I needed was one good drop. It’s only spilled milk, right? 🙂
actually – one more question – will this work if we omit the sweetener and just use pure stevia powder?
It may not be as dense because the granulated stevia gives it bulk. You may need a tad more Almond Flour 🙂
how many cookies does this make (approximately)?
Approximately 15 to 20 depending on your cutter size!
You make me laugh! I am ashamed to say that I too consider 1 sleeve of thin mints one serving. Those Girl Scouts are too cute, but I think they might be secretly trying to fatten us up! This looks like a better alternative. Love the pics. Love that you poured milk in a shot glass. Love it all….This makes me happy. 🙂
I think because both you and I feel that one sleeve equals one serving, it is so! They are certainly a better alternative. I wouldn’t be surprised if the girl scouts start keying my car or sending threatening letters once this recipe takes off because their cookies are going down! 🙂 Thanks for making me smile Em!
