Wanna Cook with Girl Scout Cookies?

Have a food or lifestyle blog in western Washington? If so, try your hand at some creative recipes using Girl Scout Cookies!

How do you eat Girl Scout Cookies? Last year, we asked our food blogging community to show us how they eat Girl Scout Cookies and, boy, did they ever! Girl Scout Cookies are perfect straight out of the box, but we knew they were super versatile, and would lend themselves easily to a variety of sweet and savory recipes. Now, we've got that proof!

Last year's contestants created everything from Samoas encrusted chicken tenders over a Samoas-studded noodle salad, to Thin Mint cake pops. The possibilities are endless, and we invite food bloggers and those with lifestyle blogs that revolve heartily around food to enter our 2013 Girl Scout Cookie Recipe Contest.

As always, our contest is open to both home cooks as well as professional chefs, and extends to those who own catering companies, restaurants, pastry businesses, food trucks and anything else where a fork or a bib might be necessary!
