Made these cookies on a whim late night. AND WOW WHAT THE HECK. Recipe is amazing, taste amazing, ingredients cool and awesome and make me feel like I’m eating a salad instead of a cookie. One thing though, my cookie tops looked a little grainy… Yours look so smooth and beautiful, what’s the secret?
So glad you enjoyed them, Kelly! 🙂 In regards to the grainy texture on the tops of your cookies, are you referring to the texture of the chocolate coating? If so, I’m wondering if you over heated your chocolate chips just a bit. When this happens, the melted chocolate can become a bit thick and grainy or lumpy and the texture can go from silky to gritty pretty quick. I would recommend making sure your microwave is on 50% power, and reducing your cooktime a bit, as the chocolate chips may have been fully melted sooner than you realized! Alternatively, if the issue continues, you could try a stovetop double boiler method for melting your chocolate. Let me know how it goes!
I’m in love with the vegan thin mints recipe. They’re so delicious and quite frankly very addictive.
So glad you are enjoying the thin mints! #NoBadAddiction when they’re this delicious AND healthy!
