Girl Scouts newest cookie transformed into decadent cupcake

Every Christmas season as Andy Williams belts out “It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” he’s clearly forgotten about what happens this time of year: it’s Girl Scout cookie time. It’s a glorious time of year when the future leaders, innovators and go-getters offer you the opportunity to enjoy some of the most popular cookies in America including Thin Mints, Tagalongs, Samoas and more.

This year the Girl Scout organization is celebrating 100 years of cookie sales by introducing a new cookie: Girl Scout S’mores cookies — the perfect marriage of the two iconic Girl Scout traditions of camping and cookie sales.

Better yet, the money raised stays local and helps the girls with goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills and business ethics.

Girl Scout S’mores cookies come in two different varieties based upon the bakery that each council uses. Dakota Horizons Girl Scouts, which includes approximately 13,000 girls and adults in the Dakotas and parts of Minnesota and Iowa, now uses Little Brownie Bakers which offers a S’mores sandwich cookie with graham cookies surrounding chocolate and marshmallow filling.

The cookies are great on their own.

In addition to eating the cookies straight out of the box, I thought it might be fun to use them in cupcakes… because why wouldn’t I?

I experimented a bit and came up with this recipe I call Girl Scout S’mores Loaded Cupcakes. Watch the video to see how easy they are to make.

A special thanks to my cookie suppliers, Emily and Abby for hooking me up. If you’re wondering where to find cookies, go to the Dakota Horizon website to find dates, times and locations for sales in your area.
