I remember when then Thin Mints had the Girl Scout emblem embossed on them. My favorite way to eat them was to scape the chocolate off with my teeth to reveal the “art” beneath.

Samoas are my favorite--don't try to give me a Caramel DeLite. They're not the same thing.

My maternal grandma was the first person I knew to store thin mints in the refrigerator.

Would these cookies work as a slice and bake option? I am not great at rolling and cutting, but if I chilled them as a log and then sliced them?

My absolute favorite Girl Scout cookie is the Thin Mint but a second favorite is the Do Si Dos, , the Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie, which is sweet and salty. Yum!

Arriving from the UK in the early 80s, I was astonished (and disappointed) to find out that Girl Scouts didn't bake the iconic cookies I had heard so much about! I wish they had a giant bake sale instead. :) In my defense, I do buy them every year from the enterprising daughter of a former college student of mine in Georgia, but, as far as easting goes, they don't have the same nostalgia factor for me, I suspect, as they do for folks who grew up with them. I would gladly pay the kiddoes $4 a homebaked cookie --after all, that's how much bakeries charge!
