Thin Mints
The inside of a Thin Mint cookie is both chocolate and mint. Thin Mints are Girl Scout cookies. They are a thin peppermint chocolate wafer covered with a smooth chocolaty coating.
For Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), 1936 saw the beginning of the licensing of cookie baking companies around the country by the national organization. By 1951 there were three types of cookies sold: Sandwich (chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies), Shortbread, and Chocolate Mints (now known as Thin Mints). Of those three, the Shortbreads/Trefoils and the Thin Mints are still sold today. In fact, the cookie baking companies must offer three types each year: Thin Mints®, Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-si-dos® and Shortbread/Trefoils®.
