1. Chocolate Caramel Coconut Milkshake

Our pretty layered dip tastes like sweet sunshine — perfect for dunking cookies in.
3. Thin Mint Bundt Cake
We added chocolate chips to our moist Bundt, then finished it with a minty drizzle and a cookie garnish.
2 bonus Girl Scout cookie recipe ideas
1. Bake a batch of Thin Mint brownies. Want a super-easy recipe that yields delicious results? Coarsely chop half a box of Thin Mints, then add to your favorite boxed brownie mix and bake according to package directions. You’ll get a burst of bracing chocolate-mint flavor in every bite.
2. Make Samoa ice cream bonbons. Roll softened chocolate ice cream into small balls and coat with Samoa cookie crumbs (to make crumbs, put cookies in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin). Their signature toasted coconut makes a delicious crunchy coating.

For these takes on the treats, we used supergrain flours in place of all-purpose to give them a health boost. One of our favorite flours to use? Kamut, which has 66% more protein than regular flour. Click through to learn more about the benefits of Kamut flour.
1. Chocolate-Mint Cookies
Adding fiber-rich teff flour to the cookie batter gives these treats a good-for-you upgrade.

3. Lemon Shortbread Sweeties
Fresh citrus zest mixed right in the batter fills these bites with deliciousness.

Pudding mix is the easy secret that guarantees these cookies bake up moist and tender.
