of Girl Scout cookie inventions (approx 100 words each)
Girl Scout cookies are a delicious and iconic treat that has been enjoyed since 1917. The cookies, which vary in flavor, are sold by Girl Scouts in the United States and in select countries. Every year, thousands of volunteers and Girl Scouts work together to bake, package, and promote the sale of the cookies, which are generally sold in the traditional flavors: Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas, Do-si-dos, Trefoils, Toffee-tastics, Savannah Smiles, and the seasonal offering of Lemon-Ups.
The Girl Scouts have developed five inventive ways to enjoy the cookies:
1. S’mores: This idea comes from the trefoil cookie, and is a combination of the cookie, chocolate, and marshmallows. The combination of these three ingredients, when melted together, create a sweet and delicious treat.
2. Milkshakes: Thin Mints make for a perfect milkshake flavor, with the chocolate and mint combining for a cool, sweet flavor.
3. Cookie Cups: Another idea for utilizing the trefoil cookie is to press it into a buttered and floured muffin tin to form a cup. This can then be filled with either a pudding or a smoothie, like a berry yogurt smoothie.
4. Ice Cream Sandwiches: Take two Tagalongs and sandwich some ice cream between them – the combination of the peanut butter cookie and the ice cream create a fantastic flavor.
5. Toffee Crunch Bark: The Toffee-tastics cookie can be broken into crumbles, combined with white and semisweet chocolate, and then spread onto a parchment-lined sheet to form a crunchy and tasty bark.
Girl Scout cookies are not just for eating; these five inventive ideas are a great way to enjoy the cookies in a whole new way. With these ideas, the possibilities are endless!
