Never Fear! I just happened to have this in my Obama Protest Kit.
Skinny Mint Cookies are super easy to make and taste like the Girl Scout's treat, but they're bigger! The chocolate wafer cookies I use are Nabisco's Famous Chocolate Wafers. Those are the cookies used for Old Fashioned Chocolate Dessert too. For the picture, I found these fabulous mint flavored plain chocolate cookies called Anna's Chocolate Mint Thins. They're spectacular with this treatment.
