Girl Scout Cookies Anyone?

Majority of America is a fan of Girl Scout Cookies...the tiny boxes that hold enormous goodness. Growing up, my mom would buy these occasionally from a co-worker, who was selling them for her daughter. Even though my mom bought a box or two, we always complained over the high price we had to pay for only a few cookies. But it's hard to resist those Girl Scout Cookies, especially the Thin Mints and Samoas...mmmm, my favorite. For a lot of people, it's just hard to resist the actual Girl Scout who works hard to sell her cookies...it's rare, I know. It's been years since I've seen an actual little girl selling them. It's basically the adults hounding you to buy them. Back to Girl Scouts...years ago was the last time I had one approach my door to sell her cookies and I moaned. I didn't want to be rude. I didn't want to spend $4 for about 12 cookies. I opened the door and it was my 6 year old neighbor with her mom proudly standing on the sidewalk. I wanted to stick to my guns, just say no, I didn't need them....and that's when I heard it. The tiny purple box of Samoas screaming my name, just begging to be eaten. I tried to resist, asked a few dumb questions in order to stall while I had an inner struggle. The carmely Samoas were relentless...chanting, taunting me. I caved and bought a box. Never again I pledged. And I haven't.

I believe the sale is over in most places by now. The temptation has subsided. However, just thinking of those Samoas makes my mouth water. It's a good thing I found this site. It has recipes for homemade Girl Scout Cookies. Hooray!! Enjoy!
