The idea for this cookie originated from the Gluten Version over at Betty Crocker. I wanted to see if a cake mix would do in place of the pre-packaged cookie mix. It did. The tint is not really necessary but we tinted these cookies green so they would be festive for Saint Patricks Day! That and the fact that they look and taste JUST LIKE the ice cream. Man, were they good. Only two made it though the night from the whole dozen and a half batch. Now THAT is a good cookie! I am thinking next time to add some frosting between two cookies to make a sandwich. The best part is they taste just like a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie. Just close your eyes and bite into the cookie and recall just how good they were! :-)
