Recipes To Recycle Your Girl Scout Cookies
Four weeks and twenty bucks later, I received a goldmine of Girl Scout Cookie goodness. Cookie season is, by far, the most wonderful time of the year; seeing the brightly colored boxes lined up on my counter gives me a little burst of happiness every time I walk into my kitchen.
They’re more than **** good cookies. They’re a tradition. I sold them when I was a Daisy, which is a Girl Scout in kindergarten or first grade, myself. Years later, eating Samoas, known as Caramel DeLites in my home state, still brings me back to tea parties in my best friend’s basement.
Eating Thin Mints, on the other hand, brings me back to the time I sat in the same best friend’s basement ten years later and ate an entire sleeve by myself.
My point is, there can be too much of a good thing. And eventually, I’m going to have to figure out something else to do with all these cookies so I don’t end up scarfing entire boxes while watching Netflix. I searched the blogosphere for the best recipes to combat binge-snacking, and I think I found a few winners to make and share with my friends (or, let’s be honest, eat up all by myself).
1. Thin Mint Milkshake from Here Comes the Sun
2. Girl Scout Cookie Cream Cups from Brit + Co.
