Steps:
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Combine dark chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, and coconut oil in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in a microwave oven for 1 minute and stir. Continue heating 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each heating, until chips are melted and smooth. Add peppermint extract and stir.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar mixture for readiness by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it's ready.
- Be careful not to overbake the cookies. They should be baked just until they are set, about 10-12 minutes.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in the chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
- If you don't have a wire rack, you can place the cookies on a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Conclusion:
These mock Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're sure to be a hit with your family and friends!
