Thin Mint Recipe

I don't know if I will make these, but I thought some of you expert chefs could have a try.  If you do please send me some

ohhhh, I just miss those girl scout cookies!!  I was a leader in CA and Jan-March is cookie time....  I'll show the recipe to my daughter and maybe she'll want to try.  I'll let you know!

I hate when that happens!  Let me know.  I may have my husband make them for me.  He is a great cookie maker. (Well at least one kind that I know of so far)

If I can find the peppermint extract at the store I may try to do them on Wednesday...I'll let you know. Problem is, if they turn out good you may only get a package of crumbs!

LOL!  thanks, I needed the laugh today!

Thin mints? There's a recipe? They don't just, like, fall from heaven or something?

...no, girl scouts!

I firmly believe that there is a sweatshop where eight-year-old girls in matching uniforms bake infinite batches of cookies, all while singing John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt.

God bless them.

We can only hope...

Sorry, this is a bit off topic, but I had no idea that the Brownies and Girl Guides over there didn't sell cookies.  I just assumed they did.  I've left the decision to carry on in scouts oveer there up to my daughter, but as a leader I will miss all the fun times....even cookie time.

Good luck with the recipe!!!  Mastering that could mean bringing the wonder of Thin Mints to the UK!!

Nope. not at all.

I'm a leader here.  I carried on but my daughter opted not to continue.  She has too many other things on her plate and none of her friends are in Guiding.  She came to a few meetings but it just wasn't for her.  It is definitely not as structured as in the US.  Girl Scouts knows exactly what they're about and how they can benefit girls' lives.  This is my third country and it is not necessarily that clear all over.  Also, campfires are over, as there is no wood to burn! 

And yes, I miss the cookies

Well, it's not like my day, where we had to stump around neighborhoods knocking on doors, including the creepy guy's down the street so he wouldn't feel bad. These days, boxes of Girl Scout cookies (and band candy) appear in the kitchen area of my office building along with an envelope. Soon, there's a Dreadful Hole where the thin mints used to be (why don't they just break down and make 10:1 thin mints to all the other crap?).

Mmmmm, Girl Scout cookies.  Thin Mints and Samoas!  Mmmmmmm.

No you can't!! Good heavens, that violates every tenet of the Binge Eater's Code.
