SAMOAS BARS - JUST LIKE THE GIRL SCOUT COOKIES!
These bars are an easy-to-make copycat version of the coconut/caramel/chocolate/shortbread Girl Scout cookie that seem to come less and less to a box every year... maybe it's just me... I LOVE these cookies - I have been an addict since I was in the Girl Scouts at age 5, and upon first bite I knew these bars and I would have a long, loving relationship (when I'm not at the gym frantically trying to elliptical away the evidence of my coconut-caramel love affair). :) NOTE: Prep time includes cooling time.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- For the cookie base: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, and spray it lightly with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter, until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract.
- Working at a low speed, gradually beat in flour and salt until mixture is crumbly, like wet sand.
- Pour crumbly dough into prepared pan and press into an even layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until base is set and edges are lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the topping: Unwrap the caramels and place in a large microwave-safe bowl with milk and salt.
- Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, stopping to stir a few times to help the caramel melt. When smooth, fold in toasted coconut with a spatula.
- Put dollops of the topping all over the shortbread base. Using the spatula, spread the topping in an even layer. Let topping set until cooled.
- When cooled, cut into 30 bars with a large knife or a pizza cutter.
- Once bars are cut, melt chocolate in a small bowl. Heat it on high in the microwave in 45-second intervals, stirring thoroughly to prevent scorching.
- Dip the base of each bar into the chocolate and place on a clean piece of wax paper.
- Use remaining chocolate (or melt a bit of additional chocolate, if necessary) to drizzle bars with chocolate to finish.
- Let chocolate set completely before storing in an airtight container.
EASY GIRL SCOUT SAMOAS (COPYCAT)
These are my DS and DD's favorite of the girl scout cookies. They asked me to make a few copycat recipes but they weren't quite right. These fit the bill and have lots more coconut and caramel. They take some extra time but I get requests for them constantly. I keep the ingredients on hand so I can always make a batch. Enjoy! NOTE: Using these specific brands makes the best samoa possible. WARNING: Cookie addiction has been noted while under the influence of this recipe.

Steps:
- Toast coconut flakes in 350 oven for 6-10 minutes until golden brown.
- Place in a bowl when toasted.
- Unwrap caramels, add milk and salt. Microwave for 1-2 minutes in 30 second intervals in a shallow bowl. The mixture should be creamy and easy to spread.
- Line a cookie sheet with waxed or parchment paper.
- Using a knife, spread each cookie with the caramel mixture, be generous.
- Dip the cookie into the toasted coconut, pressed cookie down to get as much coconut on it as possible.
- Let cookie cool on the cookie sheet until caramel hardens.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a plastic sandwich bag.
- Snip end and drizzle cookies with chocolate.
- Note: I usually only use about half of the coconut per box of cookies. I keep it in my fridge in a plastic container. That way one less step for the next time.

HOMEMADE SAMOA COOKIES
Experimenting with shortbread cookie recipes, I found a way to create a cookie the not only gives you a melt-in-your-mouth texture, but also retains its shape and doesn't crumble when you pick it up. I ended up making these for Easter weekend to give out as gifts. So far the cookies haven't made it past the 2 hour mark after being opened and left up on a table for consumption. Hope you love these as much as my friends and family do! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Beat butter, white sugar, and salt together in a bowl; add 2 cups flour and stir. Beat 1 cup flour into butter mixture; mix until a sticky dough forms.

GIRL SCOUT MINT COOKIES (COPYCAT)
I got an email from my mom with a bunch of copycat recipes. Most of them are already posted on zaar, but this one isn't so I thought I'd go ahead and get it out her. Enjoy. Servings and yield are guesses, as I have not actually made these yet.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Combine cake mix, eggs, water, cooking oil,and cocoa. You will need to blend this together well, this will be a very sticky mess.
- Let stand for 20 minutes, and then shape into very small 1/2 inch balls. Place these balls on a cookie sheet 2 inches a part, and smash down flat. You will need to spray a large spoon with Pam to make them flat.
- Bake for about 8 minutes. Let cool until they reach room temperature.
- Heat chocolate chips in either the microwave, or in a double boiler. When completely melted add a couple drops of the mint flavoring. Be carefull not to add too much, it is a powerfull flavoring.
- You can either spread the melted chocolate on the cookies, or you can dip the cookies into the chocolate.

Steps:
- First, make the crust.
- Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking pan, or line with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together sugar and butter, until fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract. Working at a low speed, gradually beat in flour and salt until mixture is crumbly, like wet sand. The dough does not need to come together. Pour crumbly dough into prepapred pan and press into an even layer.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until base is set and edges are lightly browned. Cool completely on a wire rack before topping.
- Preheat oven to 300. Spread coconut evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet (preferably one with sides) and toast 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until coconut is golden. Cool on baking sheet, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
- Unwrap the caramels and place in a large microwave-safe bowl with milk and salt. Cook on high for 3-4 minutes, stopping to stir a few times to help the caramel melt. When smooth, fold in toasted coconut with a spatula.
- Put dollops of the topping all over the shortbread base. Using the spatula, spread topping into an even layer. Let topping set until cooled.
- When cooled, cut into 30 bars with a large knife or a pizza cutter (it's easy to get it through the topping).
- Once bars are cut, melt chocolate in a small bowl. Heat on high in the microwave in 45 second intervals, stirring thoroughly to prevent scorching. Dip the base of each bar into the chocolate and place on a clean piece of parchment or wax paper. Transfer all remaining chocolate (or melt a bit of additional chocolate, if necessary) into a piping bag or a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off and drizzle bars with chocolate to finish.
- Let chocolate set completely before storing in an airtight container.
- Makes 30 bar cookies.
- Note: You can simply drizzle chocolate on top of the bars before slicing them up if you're looking for yet an easier way to finish these off. You won't need quite as much chocolate as noted above, and you won't quite get the Samoas look, but the results will still be tasty.

- Combine the sugar, water, and salt in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Stir occasionally with a fork until mixture comes to a boil, about 3-4 minutes. Continue to simmer until mixture becomes a medium amber color, about 5-6 minutes, swirling pan every so often. Immediately add the cream, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Using a heat-resistant spatula, constantly stir the caramel until mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Turn the heat off, stir in the vanilla, and allow to cool/thicken for about 5 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir the coconut into the caramel.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites on high until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped egg whites into the coconut mixture.
