Thin Mint Latte
Adding cookie crumbles to the rim of your glass isn’t necessary, but it sure does make this Thin Mint Latte more fun to drink, especially on a Monday.

So this weekend we had a huge winter storm roll through and dump about 12 inches on our town. I guess just because it is now March, that we shouldn’t rule winter out just yet. I just keep thinking that spring has to be coming, but then it gets cold and snowy again. That ground hog really was right about a few more long weeks of winter staying with us!
Thank goodness for a warm homemade latte to keep me warm as I watched the snow fall all day long. The good thing about making these coffee drinks at home is that I do not have to go anywhere with that much snow on the roads. Plus, not spending $5 on one drink is always a pretty motivating factor to continuing to make them at home too.
With a certain cookie season in full swing, I decided to add those flavors to my latte. The chocolate and mint added such a great flavor to the coffee.
After the third cup, I decided to get fun with the presentation. A cup of coffee with cookie crumbles on the rim and on top, plus Cool Whip and chocolate drizzles looks and tastes pretty amazing.
The cookie crumbs are totally optional…but I think you should totally try it. 1. It’s so fun. 2. Seriously, it makes the coffee taste that much better. Trust me…I had a few different versions. The rim of cookie was the best.
Use your finger to add a small bead of honey all around the rim of your glass. Then dip the top of it in cookie crumbles.
Make a cup of coffee and pour it into a measuring cup.
Then heat the milk, syrup, and extract on the stove until right before it boils. I bought this Aerolatte Milk Frother
Another thing I learned in making a drink with a fun dipped rim is that you need to have the steamed milk and coffee in a container that can pour easily. Let’s just say the very first one I poured the coffee in from a regular coffee cup, and the coffee went all over the sides of my cup. Bye, bye fun rim of cookie!
I have two of these angled measuring cups
Now if I were you, I would go find a box of Thin Mints. Crumble 1 cookie to dip your coffee cup in, then enjoy a few more while you sip your Thin Mint Latte. I’m confident that you will be making this one over and over again. How do I know? Because I had 4 in 4 days…yup, they are that good.
