I feel like there’s so much nostalgia linked with Girl Scout Cookies in this country. I think everyone I grew up with was a Girl Scout at one point or another. Whether or not you were or your kids are/were, you no doubt have a favorite Girl Scout cookie, right? For me, it’s Samoas — AKA one of the few food items containing coconut that I enjoy. For many of my friends, it’s Thin Mints.

In honor of National Girl Scout Cookie Day and my beloved fellow scouts (once a Girl Scout, always a Girl Scout, right?), I have created a milkshake that would make former Girl Scouts like me and future Girl Scouts like my daughter swoon with heavy foodie sighs.
