I was driving through town yesterday, when, from the passenger seat window, I spotted a group of Girl Scouts selling cookies in front of a church on my road. “Pull over! Girl Scout Cookie alert!” I shouted to my fiancé, who is far too used to me screaming about desserts to react with the amount of urgency that I expect of him. He just kind of laughed at me in his usual way and kept his eyes on the road. We were already in the left-turn lane, about to pull onto the highway, and I knew I had no hope of making a Saturday cookie purchase.
Back in the day, when I had younger cousins and family friends in Girl Scouts, I would always have access to the Girl Scout Cookie staples. Thin Mints, Tagalongs, and Samoas filled the snack cabinet in my parents’ house, leaving room for the occasional box of Trefoils that would most likely remain there until they became stale, because lets face it, no one actually likes Trefoils. Sadly, those days are long gone, and purchasing Girl Scout cookies has become a thing of the past. On the bright side, in recent years, I have developed into a woman who goes after what she wants (mainly when it comes to food), so I promptly decided I would go home and make Samoas myself. Problem solved.
So here is the recipe for Samoa Cookie Pie, which is basically a giant samoa in a pie plate. This recipe takes less time to make than if you were to bake individual Samoas, and in my opinion, it tastes way better than the boxed cookie version. (But if you are taste testing for comparison’s sake, feel free to send me over some of the regular cookies because those are still pretty delicious).
Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 stick of unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup of packed light brown sugar
- 1 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp of salt
- 1 3/4 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips (separated)
- 1 1/2 cup of sweetened shredded coconut
- 2/3 of a 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
- 5 oz of salted caramel sauce
- 1/3 cup of heavy cream
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350° F and prepare a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie dish by spraying with non-stick cooking spray.
Whisk the melted butter, egg, brown sugar, and vanilla together until smooth. Then, add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring until well-combined. Spread the batter into the pie dish, smoothing with a rubber spatula. Bake for about 10 minutes. The crust will not be completely baked; it will be going back into the oven to bake after the other layers are added.
Sprinkle 1 cup of chocolate chips evenly over the hot cookie crust. Then, sprinkle the coconut in a smooth layer. Drizzle the sweetened condensed milk next, followed by the caramel sauce. Return the layered dish back into the oven for about 25 minutes, or until the caramel has turned golden brown and has started to bubble.
After removing from the oven, while the pie is cooling in its dish, make the chocolate ganache. Heat 1/3 cup of heavy cream over the stove until hot; remove from heat. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of chocolate chips to the cream, stirring until completely smooth. Once slightly cooled, transfer the ganache into a plastic sandwich bag, snipping one corner of the bag so you can drizzle the chocolate over the pie.
Leave the pie to cool for 3-4 hours at room temperature, or let cool in the fridge to allow for earlier consumption.
PS: Don’t forget to apologize for your local Girl Scout troop for not buying any Samoas this year from them!

I might also like to convey that most of those who find themselves devoid of health insurance are usually students, self-employed and people who are not working. More than half from the uninsured are really under the age of Thirty-five. They do not come to feel they are in need of health insurance simply because they’re young plus healthy. Their income is usually spent on homes, food, plus entertainment. Most people that do go to work either whole or part-time are not given insurance by their work so they proceed without with the rising price of health insurance in the United States.

Thanks for your publication. I would like to opinion that the very first thing you will need to do is determine whether you really need repairing credit. To do that you will have to get your hands on a copy of your credit report. That should not be difficult, because the government mandates that you are allowed to have one cost-free copy of your credit report every year. You just have to ask the right people today. You can either browse the website with the Federal Trade Commission as well as contact one of the leading credit agencies instantly.
