I’m one of those mommies.  You know, the “mean” ones.  The ones that won’t buy girl scout cookies on principle.  I don’t like that most of their flavors include funky chemical ingredients. And I’m not a fan of the fact that their pushers don’t make much of a profit in the process.  I’d rather just make a donation to the troop, go home, and eat cookies whose ingredients I recognize (or bake my own).

Homemade alternative to Girl Scout Cookies

My daughter is a huge fan of Samoas – the girl scout cookies that are layered with caramel, chocolate and coconut.  When I saw a recipe for layered cookie bars in this month’s issue of Everyday Food, I thought of her.  I could make our own treat and they would resemble the cookies (that my father buys but hides from my mom).

ps.  While I won’t buy girl scout cookies,  I don’t stress if my kids eat them occasionally (at their friend’s house, for example) – I am teaching them to read ingredients and make good choices most of the time.  It’s the best most of us can do :-)

What’s your take on girl scout cookies?
