Why Buy Girl Scout Cookies When You Can Make Your Own?

The Girl Scouts have a new cookie called Thank U Berry Much. It's a crunchy shortbread cookie with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.

Hmm...that kinda sounds like a my XXX Cranberry Cookies, which have three forms of cranberries (fresh, dried, and stewed), white chocolate chips, and a crunchy raw sugar-coated exterior.

I wonder if anybody over at Girl Scouts headquarters is an Oatmeal CookieBlog reader or real-life recipe user.

Well, I did do my own oatmeal version of the classic Caramel deLites/Samoas (my personal favorite Girl Scout cookie, by the by) way back when this blog was just starting, so a little copycattery is to be expected. I guess I was right...The Girl Scouts Are Gonna Be Jealous! I kid, I kid. :-)
