Though not accessible by default – aside from using Quicktime to create a screen recording video and then taking a still image from it – you can achieve what you’re looking for with a Terminal command. This command, when executed, allows you to screenshot anything with a five or 10 second delay. To achieve what you’re looking for, just tweak the time (T15=15 seconds), the file name, and location to your liking.
