Healthy Homemade Thin Mint Cookies are gluten free, grain free, but taste just like the classic! These cookies take me back to being a Girl Scout.

If you love Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies, you will adore these! They are extremely similar, but are made with only 8 wholesome ingredients. Get this... These cookies are only made with two tablespoons of pure maple syrup. I also coat them in 80% + dark chocolate or sugar free dark chocolate so they are very low in sugar.

One difference in the look of my thin mints compared to the classic is that I make mine larger. This is because a bigger cookie is always better. You can't disagree with me on that!
