Girl Scout Cookies

I am a freak of the United States. I don't like girl scout cookies. I like the girl scouts well enough. When I feel flush I make a donation of a ten to whatever group seems most enthusiastic about it. I figure that's better than buying cookies as far as supporting the girl scouts goes. But the fact remains that I do not like the cookies. To me they don't seem any different than the normal store bought cookies, mostly nothing I'd eat. Too much sugar, no real butter, not real chocolate, etc.

I do like some store cookies. Some of the thin ginger snaps that come out with a crumb I just cannot get in my own cookies. And far too expensive little (real) chocolate dipped crunchy things. But for the most part I prefer cookies made at home. Personally I'd be more interested in buying actual culinary attempts by the girls. Maybe give a ten in donation and buy some. Even if they were not MY favorite cookie I like trying different flavors and styles.
