OK, I know we’re in a panic to lose weight so we can even eat Girl Scout cookies this season, but here’s an even better idea. Donate some money to the Girls Scouts & make your own cookies from this 1917 recipe.

It’s true, this recipe is a bona fide Girl Scout recipe from 1917 I was able to locate. I haven’t tried this one as of yet, so you be the judge!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar plus additional amount for topping (optional)
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder

What’s Next:

Cream butter and the cup of sugar; add well-beaten eggs, then milk, vanilla, flour, salt, and baking powder. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Roll dough, cut into trefoil shapes, and sprinkle sugar on top, if desired.

Bake in a quick oven at 375 F for approximately 8 to 10 minutes or until the edges begin to brown. Makes six- to seven-dozen cookies.

Eat well & Laugh often!
