Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2¼ tsp) instant yeast
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 egg

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp peppermint extract
  • ½ cup crushed Thin Mint cookies (or chocolate mint cookies)

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk
  • ¼ tsp peppermint extract
  • Optional: drizzle of melted chocolate or more crushed cookies on top

How to Make Them

1. Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. Add warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix and knead until a soft dough forms. Cover and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

2. Make the Filling

Mix softened butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and peppermint extract in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.

3. Roll and Fill

Roll out the dough into a rectangle (about 14×9 inches). Spread the filling evenly over the dough and sprinkle with crushed Thin Mint cookies.

4. Shape the Rolls

Starting from the long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Slice into 9–12 rolls and place in a greased baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.

5. Bake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake rolls for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and fluffy.

6. Glaze & Finish

Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and peppermint extract to make the glaze. Drizzle over warm rolls and top with more cookie crumbs or melted chocolate if desired.


Tips for Extra Yum

  • No Thin Mints on hand? Use any chocolate mint cookie or chocolate wafers with a few drops of peppermint extract.
  • Love a stronger mint flavor? Add more peppermint extract to the filling or glaze — but be careful, a little goes a long way!
  • Want to prep ahead? Assemble the rolls the night before, refrigerate, then let them rise and bake the next morning.
