Smelly Girl Scout cookies won’t make you sick
We gave them up long ago for several reasons, but a nasty smell wasn’t one of them:
(CNN) — Everyone has their favorite Girl Scout cookie: the popular Thin Mints, the coconuty caramel delight of the Samoas, the simple yet lovable Shortbreads. But for those who are eagerly running to their pantry to open a box of Lemon Chalet Cremes, a foul odor may dampen their cookie-eating experience.
Little Brownie Bakers of Louisville, Kentucky, one of two bakeries in the United States that make Girl Scout cookies, posted a statement on its Web site Friday saying it had received several complaints from customers who encountered a foul smell and taste in boxes of Lemon Chalet Cremes.
The bakery says it tested the cookies and determined that they are safe for consumers to eat. No sickness from the cookies has been reported. The company says that the odor is a result of oils improperly breaking down in the cookies that “are not up to our quality standards.”
By the way, I’ve got a great recipe for thin-mint-esque cookies.

I had two fellow teachers order 20 boxes of cookies each!

Eat the stinky cookies. That’s the response?
Thin mints are my favorites, anyway, so I’ll have to check out that recipe!

We had to modify the recipe because we couldn’t find peppermint oil (as opposed to extract) so let me know if you’d like that. They’re delish.

Wegmans ; ) in the natural foods section. I can’t wait to try the recipe–now if I could find a samoa recipe for pjHusband, I’d be set!

Oh boy. I searched that place up and down, and asked more than one employee if they carried it.

Sending a link on the peppermint. Sounds like my experience once at Whole Foods, searching for emu oil.
Do you carry emu oil?
“Like the bird? That’s terrible! They make oil from emus? We’d never carry such as that!”
Honey, the meat counter is right behind you.
Another reason to forgo the Thin Mints forevermore… « Politicaljunkie Mom 5:28 PM on 03/11/2010 Permalink |
[…] And if you do forgo the Thin Mints, a rockin’ recipe from Pundette. We’re Samoas fans ourselves. Luckily, I found this recipe. (There’s an easier bar […]
