GIRL SCOUT SAMOA COOKIES 🍪

I mean…do I need to say anything more?? These legit taste like the real thing!!

Samoas were always my go-to Girl Scout cookie when I was younger, but as I’ve gotten older I tend to stay away from highly processed foods. That doesn’t mean you can’t recreate you’re favorite treats though ✨

I made a batch of these the other day and needed to share! The shortbread crust might just be my favorite part of this recipe 😋

Ingredients:

🥥1/2 cup coconut oil

🥥1/4 cup maple syrup

🥥1 tsp vanilla extract

🥥1 3/4 cup flour (can sub GF flour)

🥥1/2 tsp baking powder

🥥2 tbsp cold water (if dough is crumbly)

🥥pinch of salt

🥥Half a can of coconut cream

🥥1/3 cup maple syrup

🥥1 bag Coconut Cream Cake MAGICD DATES Bites

🥥1 1/2 cup coconut

🥥1 tbsp tahini

🥥1/2 cup chocolate chips

Process:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350F

2. Combine coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract into a bowl and cream until combined

3. Add flour, baking powder, salt and mix until dough starts to form. Add a tablespoon of cold water at time until the crumbs come together and form a dough. Knead with your hands until firm.

4. Place on a parchment lined surface and roll out until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown on the edges.

5. In a small sauce pan, add coconut cream and maple syrup. Bring to a boil for about 5-8 minutes. Let is cool slightly and then add your coconut and tahini.

6. Once the cookies are cool place about a tablespoon of the coconut mixture on the cookies and place in the fridge until firm.

7. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave in 30sec at a time until melted. Dip the bottoms of the cookies into the chocolate and repeat.

8. Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the cookies. Place in fridge until solid!

Enjoy 😋
