Where Does The Girl Scout Cookie Money Go

I think we can all agree: Girl Scout cookie season is too short! These Girl Scout cookie copycat recipes are perfect for curbing your Thin Mint, Do-Si-Do and Tagalong cravings.

1 / 10

Inspired by Thin Mints

We all know it to be true: Thin Mints are the queen of all Girl Scout cookies. These crisp chocolate cookies are dipped in a minty chocolate coating, just like their scouting cousins.

Scottish Shortbread Exps Diyd20 1889 B09 17 3b 2

Inspired by Trefoils and Shortbread Cookies

Depending where you live, these simple shortbread cookies might be called Trefoils and stamped in the shape of the Girl Scout logo. No matter where you call home, though, these shortbread snacks are super tasty (especially dipped in a cup of coffee!).

3 / 10

Inspired by Tagalongs and Peanut Butter Patties

A cookie as good as a Tagalong must be hard to replicate at home, right? Not quite! Using crackers and a smooth chocolate coating, you can get close to the real thing when your cookie stash is low.

Lemon Shortbreads Exps Cwfm17 137067 C10 11 9b 7

Inspired by Lemonades

These lightly flavored shortbread cookies are topped with a citrusy glaze, just like their scouting counterparts.

6 / 10

Inspired by S'mores Cookies

Girl Scouts first published the recipe for the original s'more all the way back in the '20s. Today, they reinvented the campfire snack as an anytime cookie much like these. For an authentic s'mores experience,
swap the cookie butter for a chocolatey spread.

7 / 10

Inspired by Trios

Trio cookies are made with three cookie favorites: oatmeal, chocolate chips and peanut butter. You can make your own version at home with this sweet recipe.

8 / 10

Inspired by Thanks-A-Lot Cookies

The classic Girl Scout shortbread is delicious, but this version is just a bit sweeter and – better yet – dipped in chocolate like these hearts.

Inspired by Toffee-Tastic Cookies

A new addition to the Girl Scout offering is a toffee-packed biscuit. Our version is a bit different – it includes almonds for extra crunch.

Lemon Snowflakes Exps Wrsm17 2533 D04 13 7b 3

Inspired by Savanah Smiles

The Girl Scouts have two lemony cookies in their roster. The Savanah Smile is a bit different than the Lemonade.
Instead of being topped with a citrusy icing, they get a dusting of powdered sugar like these!
