Remember back to the days when we would look forward to girl scout cookies season? It was one of my favorite times of the year. My favorite cookies to buy were the thin mints.After I was diagnosed with Celiac disease I had to kiss those cookies good-bye. Every time I walked by those cookies, I died a little inside.
However, now is a time to celebrate, since Girl Scouts of America are introducing GF cookies! The Chocolate Chip Shortbread cookies will make their debut in the 2013-2014 cookie sale! That's right! We Celiacs will be able to indulge in yummy cookies, and support a good cause.
These cookies are certified gluten free, and are made with real chocolate chips. There are no artificial ingredients, and no high fructose corn syrup.
The cookies are being piloted in the following states:
- California
- Maryland
- Illinois
- Massachusetts
- Pennsylvania
- Maine
- Minnesota/Wisconsin
- The Carolinas
- Virginia
- Western New York
Sadly, since Connecticut isn't listed, I will be unable to test these cookies. Readers in the above locations, tell your Celiac friends to purchase these cookies. Hopefully enough cookies will be sold so these cookies will be sold nationally in the future.
