DIY Girl Scout Cookies
Somehow I came across this wannabe Girl Scout Samoas recipe.
And since we live in a neighborhood without a single Girl Scout, I'm so glad I did.
These aren't exactly quick to make, but they're easy and almost as good as the real thing. Can't beat it.
I used an itty bitty juice glass as a cookie cutter and a pastry tip for the holes. The cookies still turned out huge. These are so caramel-y and rich, smaller is definitely better.
I ended up with 30 cookies and enough topping for 24. The cookies were still yummy plain.
I couldn't wait a second longer and resorted to the freezer for my almost finished cookies.
Beautiful mess.
All wrapped up and ready to share. :)
Thanks for sharing the link to this recipe, Cheryl. I love Samoas. Your pictures are beautiful as always:) And I LOVE your little juice glass... it reminds me of a set my grandmother had.
ReplyDeleteDid you know Keebler Elves make Samoas too? Called Coconut Dreams. They taste EXACTLY the same! I would like to try this version too though, thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteYummy! My favorite! Thanks for sharing. I've given you the Stylish Blogger Award.
ReplyDeletethanks for the link, i saw it somewhere else and forgot to bookmark it. my girl scout cookie recipe? from ms. take a ritz cracker and dip in melted mint flavored buttons (wilton makes, they have them in colors and also mint). sometimes it can be hard to find. the joanns in vernon hills is the only place i have seen them so far. then refrigerate for a wee bit. taste exactly like thin mints!!
ReplyDeleteYum! Those look amazing! What kind of camera do you have? It takes amazing pics!
ReplyDeleteWowza! These look HEAVENLY! Love the pics :)
ReplyDeleteThose look so yummy! I would absolutely have to package them uptoo. I couldn't trust myself in the house with a batch full!!
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing~
I'm always so impressed with your photography! Beautiful job. Do you always use natural lighting, or do you use other lamps or lights? I just wrote about my lighting issues on Friday. Maybe I should just quit my teaching job and stay home so I can take photos with natural light... yep. Sounds like a plan!
