This one takes me way back to my days at girl scout camp. Camp Wind in the Pines. My fondest memory there was a potluck and these are the one cute dessert that stuck with me to this day. I have always been a fan of fine details which is probably why I LOVE THESE COOKIES! So easy and so cute! As an adult these have come back into my life at the tea parties I hold for my niece. With her being a girl scout I find myself making as many things possible with my surplus of cookies!
These are for inspiration – but get as detailed as you can dream! You can put these together with anything you have on hand, we used store bought icing and colored it, pre-colored gels would work as well!

Ingredients
- 1 Sleeve Thin Mints (about 16)
