Ingredients You’ll Need

1 (4.6 oz) box Andes Mints – The star ingredient that provides a rich chocolate coating and classic mint flavor. When melted, the Andes Mints create a smooth candy shell around the crackers.

16 Ritz Crackers – Buttery, flaky crackers that add a delicious sweet and salty contrast to the chocolate mint coating and serves as the base of the cookies.

Christmas Sprinkles (Optional) – Adds a festive touch of color and texture, making these treats perfect for holiday parties, cookie exchanges, and gift trays.

How to Make 2-Ingredient Thin Mint Cookies

Unwrap 1 (4.6 oz) box Andes Mints and put them in a bowl.

Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter.

Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and melted.

Dip a Ritz cracker into the melted mints so it’s completely covered. Using a fork, remove the cracker from the bowl and tap off excess melted mints on the side of the bowl.

Transfer to the parchment paper.

Sprinkle tops with Christmas sprinkles right away. (The melted mints harden quickly.)

Let harden.

Stir Until Completely Smooth – Even if a few mint pieces remain after heating, stirring well will help create a silky coating.

Use a Fork for Dipping – This makes it easier to coat the Ritz crackers evenly and allow excess chocolate to drip off.

Let Cookies Set Completely – Allow them to firm up at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.

Make Them Ahead of Time – These cookies store well for several days, making them perfect for holiday parties, cookie exchanges, and gift boxes.
