sabotabbyI'm multitasking: updating my CV whilst doing more baking. Neither are things I particularly want to do right now, but at least today's experiment was awesome:
Okay, so Thin Mints are already vegan*, which is nice, so you should buy them and support the Girl Guides. Which I do. However, if you want to make homemade ones (maybe because you want to work with a better quality of chocolate or whatever, here is the recipe:
Vegan Thin Mints
I followed the recipe more or less exactly, and they turned out awesome. The only thing I changed was that two cups of chocolate for the topping seemed excessive. I ended up only dipping them on one side, as there's already a lot of chocolate in this. I watered it down with a bit of cashew milk, as the baking chocolate I use is never runny enough to dip things in, and you want it pretty runny or they won't look very nice.
* By a cool coincidence, the shitty cookies I like tend to be vegan. I don't eat shitty cookies often, but that's one thing that I was pleased to not have to give up.
