Notes: Mom found this recipe in the newspaper on March 12, 1996 commemorating the 60th anniversary of the first Girl Scout cookie sale. They originally made their own cookies and went door to door selling them as a fundraiser in the 1920's. In honor of this celebration, they shared the original recipe. You can order a trefoil cookie cutter by contacting your local Girl Scout Council. Make a batch and taste a bit of great cookie history!
