It's the 100th Anniversary of the first Girl Scout cookie sale, and what better way to celebrate this important milestone than by making the original cookie recipe yourself?
When Girl Scouts first began selling cookies, they were baking everything, not mail order anything with these gals. Even when the Girl Scouts began selling door-to-door in 1917, they continued to make the cookies on their own — up until the 1930s.
Thanks to a recipe that was shared by Chicago-based director Florence E. Neil in the 1922 Girl Scouts publication, The American Girl, all of the 2,000 Girl Scouts had the same recipe to use at the the time. The cookie features the typical milk, sugar and flour, and looks very much like a basic butter cookie. We're not sure they could ever live up to a box of today's Peanut Butter Patties or Thin Mints, but you can try the recipe for yourself and taste a classic.
The recipe make six to seven dozen and were originally sold for 24 to 35 cents per dozen.
