I had heard about Girl Scout Cookies (Girl Guide Biscuits in UK English) for some time. I had seen movies in which the selling of these cookies was an event and had seen groups of girls outside supermarkets selling their wares. However, I had not actually seen or eaten a Girl Scout cookie until this week.
I had naively assumed that these cookies were baked by the Girl Scouts themselves. This was an incorrect and in hindsight a foolish assumption. The cookies arrive in a box labeled as Girl Scout cookies with a photo of a carefully ethnically missed groups of girls looking upwards as the Stars and Stripes is raised. While not hand-made, they are certainly good cookies.
