I’ve already eaten all the Girl Scout cookies we bought. This wouldn’t be such a big deal if

We didn’t buy them from the neighborhood Kid and
~~twice~~ from the Scouts selling at our local supermarket

Opps!

My favorite girl scout cookies have always been tagalongs. The chocolate peanut butter combination is irresistible!

My homemade tagalong cookies start with a crunchy shortbread cookies. Then they are topped with sweetened peanut butter, before being dipped in rich milk chocolate. Dare you to eat just one of these homemade tagalongs! So good!
