Thin Mint Scones

Patricia @ ButterYum

St. Patrick's Day is a special day in our house because it's our oldest daughter's birthday.  She loves Thin Mint girl scout cookies so I bought a box with her in mind.  The very next day I spied Thin Mint Scones on The Food Librarian's blog and knew they would be perfect to make for my birthday girl's breakfast.  They were very tasty and the family loved them - I hope you will too.

  2. In a glass measure, combine heavy cream and mint extract; set aside.

  4. Using a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until mixture resembles small pebbles.

  5. Add heavy cream mixture and chopped cookie bits; blend together quickly, being careful not to over mix.

  6. Press mixture together on a lightly floured pastry cloth (or other surface) and roll to 1/2-inch thickness.

  7. Using a sharp knife or floured shamrock shaped cutter, cut shapes and place on parchment or silpat-lined half sheet pan.
