Chocolate Chip Thin Mint Cookies

Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies crumbled inside a rich chocolate chip cookie. These cookies are moist and chewy on the inside and crisp at the edges…just the way a cookie should be! Have I mentioned the crazy amount of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies at my house? A full case in fact! I already made some incredible Thin Mint Cheesecake Swirl Brownies with them so when I saw this recipe that originally called for Oreo Cookies, I had to make them! 🙂 Today I ran the 500 Festival Mini Marathon and thought that these would be the best way to celebrate! I finished running 13.1 miles in 2 hours and 6 minutes! Over 39,000 people descended on Indianapolis to participate in the race. Over 90,000 spectators were lined up along the route cheering everyone on! It sprinkled for the final 4 miles of the race but at least it held off until then. The coolest part of this mini marathon was running a lap around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. I drive past it every morning on my way to work, but have never been inside the track. These cookies were the best after race snack, now if I could just keep my hands out of the cookie jar! 😉
