Great Fakes Cookies

When I first started working on recipes for this book, I wanted to be sure to meet our everyday cravings. Although everyone loves a homemade classic, sometimes a supermarket cookie or Girl Scout cookie is really what is desired! I re-created several of my favorite Girl Scout cookies during “cookie season,” but time and time again, I was asked to add just one more.

The Girl Scouts of Central Maryland, Inc., came to my rescue! They provided me with sample packages of cookies so that I could compare my work side-by-side with their delicious varieties. I cannot help but smile that the Girl Scouts gave cookies to help those who will never be able to eat theirs. And, while of course the recipes included in this chapter are not identical to Girl Scout cookies, they are some awesome great fakes!

My local grocery store’s cookie aisle (and Trader Joe’s) held the rest of the inspiration for this chapter: Oreos, Chips Ahoy!, Nutter Butters, Fig Newtons, and Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pies, to name a few. Diverse and delicious in their own way, I have also re-created these beloved favorites.

In making each cookie, I deconstructed the original. Many cookies are not what you think. Sometimes it is just the filling that has the flavor. Other times, you think you are eating a sweet-base cookie only to find it is rather plain and not sweet at all. And oh, the nuances of cream filling! These substitutes are perhaps the greatest proof that almost anything is possible in a gluten-free cookie.
