As if we didn't really need more reason to buy an extra box or two of your favorite Girl Scout cookies, I have just stumbled across the website for one of two companies that bake the Girl Scout cookies that send us into a thin, minty frenzy every Spring. The website is obviously geared toward their happy little salesgirls, but they also list recipes, not for the cookies, themselves, but that use the cookies as ingredients.
Samoas by themselves are pretty rich (I consider them candy, myself), but they can be used to make Mocha Samoa Zuccoto, a chocolate cake-like base with a mascarpone and chocolate filling and crushed Samoas as a topping.
Sound too rich? Then what about Levitating Layers, alternating layers of Samoas, sweetened cream cheese, and chocolate pudding. And it's not just Samoas. You can use Tagalongs, Thin Mints, and Trefoils to make a Peanut Butter Mint Bombe.
I'll just take my Cafe cookies with a cup of coffee.
