We are smack in the middle of Girl Scout cookie season around here...and I find myself surrounded by way more cookies than can possibly be good for me.
And while Girl Scout cookies are quite tasty on their own, I wanted to try something new. I came up with this -- a cookie within a cookie.
I began with a basic chocolate chip cookie recipe, then added a box of Tagalongs that I'd pulsed in the food processor until they formed chunks.
I'd say quit sooner rather than later -- you can break up the bigger chunks with your fingers or a spoon -- but you don't want to chop them too long and make cookie dust. I added semisweet chocolate chips because I'm just a semisweet kind of girl...but the milk chocolate would work great with the milk chocolate in the Tagalongs as well.
They've got hints of peanut butter, but not as strong as actual peanut butter cookies. And the kids keep demanding more, so I'm counting this recipe a success!
Tagalong Chocolate Chunk Cookies
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 c butter
3/4 c white sugar
3/4 c brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 eggs
1 box Tagalong Girl Scout cookies
1 c chocolate chips (semisweet or milk)
Combine flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. Set aside. Cream butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla. Stir in dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Pulse 1 box Tagalongs in the food processor until chunks form. Add to batter. Add 1 c chocolate chips.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 min or until edges are lightly browned.

This sounds delicious! My daughter is selling cookies right now as well - may have to give this a try :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for stopping by My Favorite Finds today and commenting on my Kids Chore Chart post. Great to have you!
I purposely didn't buy GSC because I'll eat the whole box of Tagalongs. Now I wish I would have! Thanks for sharing at Must Try Monday! I'm totally sharing these on Google+ and FB later today!
ReplyDeleteI was looking forward to GSC time to start, but why wait with copycat recipes like this? They look yummy. I have a party going on called Saturday Spotlight, and I'd love for you to drop by and share this or any of your other great ideas or recipes!

I just looked at the recipe a little closer and seen that it INCLUDES GSC instead of being a copycat recipe! Looks like I'll have to wait after all. :( Definitely saving this one for future reference. Thank you so much for sharing with Saturday Spotlight. Have a great week and come back soon!
ReplyDeleteyes! I'm a GS leader so I've gotta sneak them in everywhere...
DeleteFeaturing you tonight from Must Try Monday. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteA really interesting idea.. I'm thinking using a sugar cookie base and trying some other GS cookies..hmmm. Thank you for sharing your recipe with us on foodie friday.
