  • Girl Scout Cookies go available for sale once again shortly. Millions are excited about this year's season. Girl Scout Cookies time of year is different in different areas. Each box of cookies sold means more money for the troop. Each box sold means less than $1 for the troop.

  • I love these cookies!! In the past I had tried a recipe similar and the cookies would never harden up all the way. These ones are perfect!! The recipe made 21 cookies when I used my Pampered Chef cookie scooper.

  • When you use peanut butter, try it with the crunchy kind so you'll have nuts in the cookie too!

  • My mom made these for us when we were kids 40 yrs ago. She'd use 1 cup coconut or 1 cup rasins in place of peanutbutter. Awesome!

  • LOVE these cookies! But i find 3 cups oatmeal makes cookies a little to dry. I use 2 2/3 cups & a little more peanut butter.

  • I used this recipe for many years with my Girl Scout troop. We cookedd it in an black iron dutch oven over charcoals. It was always a favorite for dessert on camping trips.
