Re: Gluten free version of Girl Scout Cookies?

[Guest guest]

Hi,

If you go to www.glutenfreeda.com and click on Real Cookies, they

sell refrigerated cookie dough. One of the flavors is Chocolate

Minty Python which is dark minty chocolate - just like the thin

mints!! The other flavors are tasty too!!

Regards,

Lori

decided to allow her to buy 1 box. (All of our family meals and

baked " goodies " are strictly gluten free but we do allow our 6 year

old some gluten items for lunch or breakfast or as an occasional

treat). Does anyone know of a way to make a gluten free version of

either samoas or thin mints? Those are my son's favorites and we've

been gluten free slightly less than a year so we've never faced this

issue before. Even if they don't resemble the actual cookies, it

would be nice if I had something remotely comparable to give my 8

year old. Any ideas?

, I’m new and don’t know

all the gluten traps, but I love to create recipes, so here’s a

brainstorm. How about a gf vanilla wafer type cookie, topped with gf caramel

sauce (or a melted candy), some coconut…wait, wait, mix caramel, coconut

and chocolate chips together and use to top the cookie.

I haven’t looked up caramels—but

the ones I’ve made at home are gf. For thin mints, there are mint choc

chips out there. GF? I don’t know that yet.

I usually make chocolate covered creams

for the holidays. They’re good with crushed candy cane. I can post the

recipe if you like.
