Nikita SAMOAS! Ok....not real Samoas, but these lookalikes are your healthy edition of Girl Scout Cookie Week. I almost challenged myself right out of the competition this week. What the heck was I thinking?! Girl Scout Cookies? In Bulgaria? But, you know what they say, "Shoot for the stars, and you'll reach the moon!" By golly, I sure did. These cookies are insanely delicious and taste so much like the real deal; however, the recipe only gave me 6 cookies. 6. Six. What the heck am I going to do with six cookies? I typically eat six cookies as I'm taste-testing the baked cookies that came out of the oven and are now being moved to the cooling rack. 🤦🏻♀️ Here's the good news: If you happen to eat ALL six cookies in one sitting, it's ok. You only ate a cup of unsweetened toasted coconut, a cup of pitted dates, and a drizzle of dark chocolate. So, eat the cookies if your heart desires. This recipe is a no-bake concoction and took me about 30-40 mins to whip up. You definitely need a food processor, and I had to add two teaspoons of coconut oil to my coconut/date mixture because it just wasn't sticking together to roll into balls. So heads up. On a different note, I saw the dates below in my local grocery store. It's not everyday you get to buy dates from Iran. 🤷🏻♀️ Try the recipe. You won't be disappointed. Amy
Georgia What a fun week this was. Girl Scout cookies, lemon, cookies with Savannah in the name. What's not to love? Truthfully though.. Other than thin mints these are (were) my favorite Girl Scout Cookies. The flavor was spot on (but fresh lemon juice and zest), but the cookies themselves were a little dense. Which means.. The hunt continues. However, Nikita's healthy samoa's and Amy's Thin Mint Popcorn.. Oh my.. Adding them to my list of things I NEED to make Jen Amanda What a fun challenge this was. Trying to make something that is so recognizable.
Until next week, Nikita, Amy, Georgia, Jen and Amanda
