    Samoa cookies HAS to be my favorite girl scout cookie! I CAN NOT wait to try this recipe, soon! I have made a samoa bundt cake before that my husband fell in love with, I am sure these will be a new love for the both of us!

    I found you over at Inspiration Monday link party and I am super excited to learn more from you! At Pennies into Pearls I am all about saving money so Frugal Coupon Living is right up my alley. Thanks for this recipe!

    Another advantage to this recipe is that it is healthier! Of course cookies are not the healthiest food, but Girl Scout Cookies and other packaged cookies that stay edible for a year+ are loaded with preservatives and “dough conditioners” that aren’t so good for you.

    Did you know that when you pay $3.50-$4.00 for a box of Girl Scout Cookies, the troop selling them gets only 60c-85c?! (The exact amount depends on the local council.) It’s not really that great a fundraiser. A wiser use of your money is to make your own cookies and give each Girl Scout who tries to sell to you a cash (or check) donation to her troop–then they get the full amount of your donation.
