I have never been a fan of store bought cookies. Most of the
time they taste artificial, expensive and are filled with crazy scientific
sounding ingredients. Girl Scout Cookies are the one exception to the rule and
I think everyone can agree that Thin Mints and Carmel Delights are the two best
flavors. Baking your own cookies is so much better, because it is much more
cost efficient and not to mention you know exactly what is going into the
batter. Girl Scout Cookies though cannot be recreated. I have tried multiple
times and there is just something in these that can’t be mimicked.
Sometimes it’s fun to mix things up a bit and use the
cookies in different recipes. Here I created a mint milkshake with Thin Mint
Cookies. Top with whipped cream, sprinkles and a Thin Mint Cookie for a
delicious dessert.
Back in the day I was apart of the Girl Scout Organization.
I stopped when I was about 12, but I still have found memories of camping trips
in the northeast and selling cookies in my neighborhood. This is the last week
of cookie sales so make sure to go out and support the Girl Scouts and buy a
couple boxes of their fabulous cookies!
