Needless to say Girl Scout cookie season is a lot less exciting when you can’t have gluten. You feel a little bit guilty walking past the 10-year old girls trying to get you to overpay for charity while secretly wishing you could have some Thin Mints or Samoas.
Last year I made these gluten-free thin mints. After the page started being active again thanks to plenty of google searches for people looking for the same, I remembered to make them again this year. I’m not sure why it took me a whole year to make this recipe again because these are cookies I’d gladly eat any month or season.
The recipe(found here) is made with coconut flour and almond flour, so it’s grain-free as well as gluten-free. It’s not quite paleo as some commenters have pointed out because of the sugar content. But if that’s not your thing and you’re just looking for a sweet treat then this is easily for you.
Here are some other Gluten-Free Girl Scout cookie recipes from around the web I’ve been eyeing:
- Grain-Free/Gluten-Free Samoas by Elana’s Pantry
- Gluten-Free Tagalongs by Forks & Beans
- Gluten-Free/Dairy-Free Do-Si-Dos by Angela’s Kitchen
Your move, Girl Scouts
Can’t wait to give these a try!
Just yesterday I was driving home and craving Thin Mints and I thought, “I think Evan made those once, I need to go search his blog…” and now you did that work for me. 🙂 Can you make the cookies and send them to me too?
I have half a batch in my freezer; come on over 🙂
