Wow these look so yummy – love the sheen on that chocolate! I follow Heidi’s blog too though I’m ashamed to admit I’ve yet to try her recipes. I have a girl (woman?) crush on Cate Blanchett for being so uniquely beautiful and talented.

Drool, these are my favorite GS cookies.

I have several crushed right now…hubby says it’s an addiction – call it what you may! So I have about 5 I check in on daily (you being one of them…not to sound completely stalker-esque). Deb from smitten kitchen, Bakerella- oh how I heart her, Jen at the picky palate and Ree the pioneer woman – you top gals are the ones I know will cheer me up on the crumbiest of days!

Ummmm, sorry for that bit of ramble!

OK, we had the very first version of these cookies, the v 1.0 if you will…very delicious and I hope the cook is generous enough to bring in the slightly modified 2.0 versions and a lot of other recipies to try out as well…hint hint…

I made these last week- I froze the dough into a tube and sliced it, then let it thaw back out before dipping. Worked like a charm!

thankyou so much for this! im from australia and i hardly know what shortening is, letalone where to buy it. ive looked at recipes for this before (tv shows always go on about girl scout cookies, and seem pretty unanimous on the whole “peppermint ones are best” front) but they always need shortening, and i never know what to replace it with. so yeah, thanks for letting me feel like im on an american sitcom, i appreciate it!

Try dipping Ritz crackers in 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips,12 oz mint chips and 1 tablespoon shortening. I melt it in the microwave. Refrigerate until set. These are amazing!

Lisa, I don’t see why you couldn’t, though it might be difficult to slice them 1/8 of an inch. But if it works, let me know!

BPMcGackin, Paul Walker?! Really?! I understand the Matt Damon but the Paul Walker thing confuses me.
