“If I was lord of the Celiac kingdom, my first decree would create a gluten free Girl Scout cookie. With the zillions of Girl Scout cookies that are produced each year, it would be financially feasible to introduce a new product which would be (or should be) of interest to their gluten free and wheat free customers. People need to be educated about the gluten free life style: what better audience than all the Girl Scouts in America, their leaders, their parents, and last-but-not-least their customers. It would also make bunches of money for the Girl Scout organization and bring many happy memories of pre-celiac diagnosis days.” I wrote that during last year’s cookie season and I wonder how many times I will have to repeat it before the Girl Scouts start paying attention.

  This year I at least attracted some attention from my fellow bloggers. One person titled his or her article “Girl Scout Cookies — I Miss You my Friend”. That’s how I feel.

  I read a blog article titled “Lobbying for Gluten Free Girl Scout Cookies” and want to join glutenfreemom.com in her crusade. She suggests we start with the baker, whose e-mail address is abcbakers@interbake.com .  The article also includes her recipe for gluten free thin mints. I certainly intend to try this recipe. At the very least, I can use it to convince the Girl Scout higher-ups that a gluten free cookie is doable.

I  learned that Gitrl Scout cookies are also baked by Little Brownie Bakers. This link will take you to their CONTACT US page. If you prefer to go “straight to the top”, this link will take you to the site operated by the national Girl Scout organization.
