Thin Mint Cookie Recipe 2 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350F, 180C. Take 3 baking trays and grease them with butter or oil. Put half the chocolate chips into a medium sized glass bowl and heat in the microwave until they're melted. Give them 30 second blasts and stir to help them on their way to melting. Cool whilst you prepare the other ingredients.
Mix the flour and baking powder together. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, eggs, corn syrup and mint extract together - use an electric beater - the mixture should be quite thick. Gradually incorporate the melted chocolate, then stir in the flour and baking powder. Mix in remaining chocolate chips. Put about 8 tablespoons of cookie batter on each baking sheet - keep them well spaced, bearing in mind that the mixture will spread as they cook. The cookies should be cracked on top when they're cooked - about 15 minutes. Put a chocolate mint thin onto each cookie at this point to melt.
