Thin Mints

Nothing signals the approach of spring like the appearance of Girl Scouts outside your local supermarket, manning folding tables loaded with cookie boxes.

I've found Thin Mints irresistible ever since I was a girl myself. The recipes are new, but the love of Girl Scout cookies is as old as time. So is my habit of keeping them in the freezer and eating them one delicious cookie at a time.

When something comes around just once a year, you learn to make the pleasure last.
