Scrub those diet plans, but don’t feel a pang of guilt. You’re doing it for a cause…a great cause. It’s the Girl Scout cookie season. Every cookie sold will contribute to the organization that is instilling leadership qualities in young women. Thanks to the cookie program, Girl Scout Cookie Professionals learn about “goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.” Gee, sounds like an incubator for CEOs.

And just in case your brain has been in sleep mode, the Girl Scouts of Northeast Texas has been making news on its very own with the creation of its STEM Center of Excellence.
Come on and admit it. You ran out of your fav cookies months ago and swore that you would really, truly stock up this year. So, why not save your pennies, make your list and prepare for the great Girl Scout cookie sales to get underway.

Just in case you don’t have a cookie professional in the household, you can check here to find your nearest fix. It’s so much easier than hunkering down in your kitchen and making your own. However, the Girl Scouts, being thoughtful and industrious, have provided recipes that are kissin’-cuzzins to the cookies like “Touch of Coconut Baklava,” “German Chocolate Ice Cream Cookie Torte,” “Thin Mint Cupcakes,” “Peanut Butter Icebox Dessert,” “Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Pie,” and “S’mores Frosted Crispy Bars,” to name just a few.
BTW, did you know “the first-known recorded version of a ‘s’mores’ recipes can be found in an official Girl Scout publication from 1927”? It was credited to Loretta Scott Crew and was originally called “some mores.” Bless Loretta for that one.
Since it doesn’t start officially until Friday, January 15, you can sweat off the holiday fat cells in preparation for the Samoas and Thin Mint huggable ounces.
