Who does not love Girl Scout Cookies? My favorite are the thin mints. I usually buy 2 boxes for the family and hide the third in my secret stash! Don't tell my hubby. His favorites are Samoas. But of course I had to try mine first. If thin mints aren't your favorite, no worries, I found a site named Baking Bites that had several different Girl Scout Cookie recipes here. I followed the recipe from Baking Bites but instead of rolling my dough into logs, I rolled it out and cut out the ... Read More about Girl Scout Thin Mint Cookies Recipe

Upon inspection I noticed that they were just elastic with strips of tulle tied onto the elastic. I thought...I can do that. So I finally got around to doing it and they are so simple. Really!
