Original Girl Scout Trefoil Cookie

Back in the day, when Girl Scouts was much more connected to the local community, the Girl Scouts themselves would bake cookies and sell them to their neighbors. You can practically imagine the scene, a young group of Girl Scouts getting together at their house and laughing as they played with flour and eggs. The amount of love and joy filled in these cookies would be tasted by the neighbors with every bite. We found this recipe posted by one of the Girl Scout Councils and were so excited to share it with our community!
