What if I told you that you could enjoy Girl Scout cookies all year long without having to purchase hundreds of boxes ahead of time? I’m here to tell you that you can make your own homemade Copycat Tagalong Cookies that will taste just as good as the boxed version. I would still encourage you to support the troops and buy a few boxes of your favorites for convenience.
I love copycat recipes because they cost just a fraction of the store bought or restaurant version. Many of the ingredients you need for this homemade Tagalong cookie recipe are most likely already in your pantry. There are some versions of this recipe on the web that have less ingredients, we believe making the entire recipe from scratch is well worth the effort.
As a child, Girl Scout Tagalong Cookies were my favorite. With the cookie coating, peanut butter inside, and cookie base, they have a delicious flavor. Here’s a little secret, I will share with you. I even had a special way of eating them by scraping all the chocolate off with my tongue and teeth and then allowing the rest of the cookie to just melt in my mouth.
Try this recipe for yourself at home and see what you think! You may even like this version better than the original.
