Girl Scouts making sugar cookies during the 1920s
Celebrating 100 years of Girl Scout Cookies!
You may recall I mentioned in another post that the first Girl Scout cookies sold were made by the scouts themselves in 1917. In 1925, a sugar cookie recipe was printed in the Girl Scout publication, American Girl, to be used for their fundraising.
Here is that exact recipe!
You may have noticed it's missing a few instructions. On the Girl Scouts Website they clarify that the dough needs to be refrigerated at least one hour before using and the "quick oven" means 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
The tasty results in the following post!
To truly authenticate Girl Scout Sugar Cookies of 1917-1936 (before real packaging and commercial bakers got involved) package them in waxed paper bags with a Girl Scout seal!
