It’s a month into the new year and there are people all over who are hard at work on their resolutions! One of the most common resolutions is to eat healthier and lose weight, so, of course, it’s natural that the Girl Scouts cookie season starts.

As someone who’s been in a baking mood lately, I guess I could bake my own cookies to enjoy… But let’s be real, there ain’t no way in hell I can recreate something as scrumptious as Tagalongs® or Thin Mints®. I’m gonna be buying some (more like many) of those damn things.

(Also a side note, will the Girl Scouts send a hitman out on me if I don’t include the “®” in the cookie names?)

Anyway, I’ve been looking into ways to satisfy the feeling of baking while also using those tasty treats. I have compiled a list of recipes to try that highlight various kinds of Girl Scouts cookies! Of course, you could use the list on the actual Girl Scouts website, but I feel we already give them enough with using the cookies; we don’t need to give their websites extra traffic too.

1. Thin Mints® Truffles.

This recipe from SixSistersStuff.com uses one of my favorite cookies from the GS and makes it even more unhealthy! Hell yeah.

2. No-Bake Samoas® Pie.

Yeah, I know I said I wanted to bake and this clearly says "No-bake," but it looks too good not to do. This comes from Paige Grandjean of MyRecipes.com.

3. Tagalongs® Cake Bars.

You know how I said Thin Mints were one of my favorite cookies? Yeah, well Tagalongs are my absolute favorite. Pretty much anything involving them I'll love. This recipe comes from Amanda of kevinandamanda.com.

4. Trefoils® Magic Bars.

Maybe the magic of this recipe is turning the blandest Girl Scout cookie into something amazing. Trefoils® aren't my favorite cookie, but this makes it look amazing. This comes from Erika Beth of LifesTooShortYoSkipDessert.blogspot.com.

5. Thin Mints® Brownies.

I had to do another one using Thin Mints as it seems to just be such an iconic cookie for them. This one turns them into a brownie that looks all too heavenly for the amount of sweet that is within. This recipe comes from CountryCleaver.com.

Honestly, I think the hardest part of these and any other recipe using Girl Scout cookies is not eating all them before you get to the cooking part.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
