Girl Scout Cookie Recipes

Remember when I told you it was Girl Scout cookie time?  Cookie sales are in full swing now, and I have a whooole bunch of Girl Scout cookies in my livingroom!

Our cookie mom Jackie told me about a Lemonade cookie shortage because area bakeries were buying them up to crush and use as cheesecake crusts.  So I decided to do a little research and see what other Girl Scout recipes I could find.  Here are a few of my favorties:

Samoa Kiss Brownies (in our area they're known as Caramel Delites)

1 box Devil’s Food Cake Mix
1/3 cup evaporated milk
¾ cup melted butter
Mini Chocolate Kisses
¾ cup caramels, melted
½ package Samoas
Coconut
Mix cake mix, evaporated milk and butter. Pour half of mixture into a 9" x 13" pan. Bake at 350° for six minutes. Sprinkle one cup Kisses on top. Spread melted caramel over Kisses. Add ½ box crushed Samoas and one tablespoon toasted coconut. Pour remaining cake batter on top and bake 10 minutes. Drizzle with melted Kisses and sprinkle with coconut.

The recipe for this amazing looking dessert can be found at Culinary Concoctions by Peabody.

Be sure to grab a few extra boxes of Girl Scout cookies next time you see a little one selling them - you can make all of these recipes and more!
