Mmm my favorite. So I’m going to another one of my bf’s sister’s baby shower and was trying to figure out what kind of cookie to bake to bring with me. When I went grocery shopping yesterday, there were girl scouts in front of Pavillions. I got really excited in hopes that they were selling girl scout cookies, but thought to myself… girl scout cookie season only happens once a year! One of the girls standing in front of the door from the troop happened to be one of the kids that went to the Boys & Girls Club, so I knew her (Hah, it’s hard to go anywhere in my town without knowing one of the kids now after working at the BGC for 5 years). I asked her what they were selling and she responded with, “Gifts.. for teachers.” Interesting. They should sell girl scout cookies year round, I’m sure they’d make more money that way.
Anyways, since I saw the girl scouts, I decided to make girl scout cookies because they surely weren’t selling any. Homemade Samoas it is!

I just read your “about” bit. It seems we have very similar lives. I’m currently in college at UC Berkeley and trying to get done as fast as I can so I can go to culinary school. 🙂 Fabulous pictures by the way. The cookies look wonderful and absolutely delicious!

Did you toast the coconut in these? Or just leave the coconut as is?
Kim says
hey helen,
you’re supposed to toast them. they taste ten times better when they are toasted.. I toasted these, but not as long as I should have because I was in a rush. hope that helps!
