These Chocolate Mint Cookies are so easy to make, and they are a favorite of my family around the holidays. Matt loves Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies, and this recipe gives him something so close to the real thing that he can have them all year round. He loves to put these in the freezer and grab a couple here and there. I store these in the fridge when I make them for the holidays.
If you love chocolate and mint, you will love these.

Chocolate Mint Cookies
2 Ingredients:
- Ritz Crackers (generic works fine too)
- Dark Chocolate Mint Melts
NOTE: There was a time that I couldn’t find the melts so I would melt dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips and add mint extract or mint essential oil to the chocolate and do it that way. Add one drop at a time of these to your melted chocolate and taste until you get the mint flavor you like. You can’t take it out, so just add one at a time. A little goes a long way, so it doesn’t take much.
Put The Cookies Together:
- All you do to make these is melt the chocolate mint melts as instructed on the bag. Then, dip a Ritz cracker in the melted chocolate to fully cover. Tap off excess and lay on some parchment paper to set. Once the chocolate is set, store it in the fridge. They are fine to stay out, but my family loves them cold or even frozen.
TIP: I put together cookie trays every holiday season. I make sure to wrap these in plastic or in a plastic bag so they aren’t touching or in contact with the other cookies. The mint can sometimes make the other cookies taste like that.
Sometimes the easiest recipes are the ones we make again and again. These 2-ingredient Chocolate Mint Cookies are proof that you don’t need a long list of ingredients to make something delicious.
