Inspired by: Thin Mints

We all know it to be true: Thin Mints are the queen of all Girl Scout cookies. These crisp chocolate cookies are dipped in a to-die-for chocolate coating. Try them straight out of the fridge or freezer for a cool, minty treat.

Were you looking for the perfect copycat Samoas? Girl Scout Cookie season only happens once a year, but we found year-round dupes that stack up pretty well against the originals.

Inspired by: Girl Scout S'mores

Girl Scouts first published the recipe for the original s’more all the way back in the ’20s. Today, they reinvented the campfire snack as an anytime cookie much like these. For an authentic s’mores experience,
swap the cookie butter for a chocolatey spread.
