Girl Scout Cookies Rule!

Lily absolutely loves being a Brownie!  We have been blessed with the BEST Girl Scout Troop leaders.  (We love you Carrie and Amanda!)  Lily was so excited to pick up all 171 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that she sold.    
She took her time and organized all of the cookie boxes!
She worked her first cookie booth on Friday, February 25th, outside of Walgreens on N. Broadway.  She had so much fun!  The girls designed posters to hold up and Lily's said, "Cookies Rule!" She drew a cookie with a crown and scepter! 
Lily is still selling cookies, so if you'd like to order, let us know!  Her troop is working so hard to save up money so they can take a trip to Disney World after they finish 5th grade.  We can't wait! 

Here is a recipe using Thin Mints (my favorite Girl Scout Cookie!): 

Thin Mint Brownies
Ingredients:
½ box of crushed Thin Mints Girl Scout Cookies
1 box of brownie mix
2 eggs (3 eggs for cake-like brownies)
¼ cup of water
½ cup of vegetable oil

Directions:
1. Crush Thin Mints into medium size pieces.
2. Mix all ingredients into mixing bowl.
*Do not use electric mixer. Batter will be stiff.
3. Spread batter evenly in greased baking pan (13 x 9 x 2 inch).
4. Bake in center of oven at 350 degrees F for 30 to 35 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and allow to cool before cutting.

What's your favorite kind of Girl Scout Cookie?

Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.

Yay Lily! Looks like she's having fun with the cookie sales, so wonderful. Alex is very upset that they don't have chocolate chip, but that hasn't stopped me from trying to find one that he does like!
Those brownies sound SO good! I love thin mints, they're my fave with samoas coming in a close 2nd! :)
I hope they'll make their goal, that is something wonderful to look forward to.
