Tagalong Cookies: Crunchy shortbread cookies topped with creamy peanut butter and covered in rich milk chocolate. Tastes even better than your favorite Girl Scout cookie!
I think I have a problem.
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
twicefrom 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!
