Small Batch Thin Mint Brownies
The most delicious Chocolate Mint Brownies are super fudgy and fully equipped with Thin Mint Cookies!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted (or 3/4 cup melted coconut oil)
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 9 Thin Mint cookies or any mint chocolate wafer cookie (+ 2 more for an optional topping)
- ¼ teaspoon flaked salt optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º and spray an aluminum loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium sized bowl mix the cocoa powder, all-purpose flour, and salt together. Pour the dry ingredients through a sifter (or fine mesh strainer) to make sure there are no lumps in the dry ingredients. Set aside.
- Next, add melted butter, brown sugar, and peppermint extract to a large bowl and mix together on medium/low with a hand held mixer or stand mixer (using an electric mixer is important).
- In a separate small bowl, add the chocolate chips and melt them in the microwave on high for 15 second intervals, stirring and repeating until the chocolate chips are melted. Set aside.
- Crack the eggs into the bowl with the butter and sugar mixture and mix on low with a mixer until the eggs are combined.
- Add melted chocolate chips to the butter mixture and mix on low until all the ingredients are mixed together.
- Slowly add the flour and cocoa powder to the bowl with the chocolate mixture and mix on low until combined.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the greased loaf pan. Then, place 9 thin mint cookies on top of the brownie batter.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the thin mint cookies. Optionally sprinkle on 2 coarsely chopped Thin Mints on top.
- Bake the brownies at 350ºF for 22-25*.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with flaked sea salt. Let the brownies sit for 10-15 minutes before removing them from the pan.

Notes
- Bake time varies based on the oven and remember that these are fudgy brownies, so you want them gooey in the middle! Be careful not to overbake.
- We strongly recommend using an electric hand mixer to get out all of the lumps.
- Make sure to use an aluminum loaf pan NOT a ceramic or glass loaf pan.
- We used parchment paper in the pan and it was a game changer.
