Wake up and smell the flour (and sugar). Girl Scout Cookie season is upon us — and our local council, the Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina, are slinging sweet treats around town.
One question: After the Thin Mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs are all gone, what will we eat? In that disastrous scenario, we’d love to see these Charleston-inspired cookie ideas come to life:
- A Charleston Chewy would be an homage to the famous chocolate bar, named after the dance, but we’re claiming it for this exercise. It would have a chocolate outer layer filled with nougat.
- Our next idea is an easy one: Add benne wafers to the menu. The sweet, buttery, sesame-infused cookie would be a great addition to any girl scout’s cart.
- Our final invention is the Huguenot Torte Crunch, an adaptation of the classic Lowcountry dessert. Combine apples, toasted pecans, and plenty of sugar for Charleston in a bite.
Any other ideas for localized Girl Scout Cookies? Let us know.
