Join Claire Saffitz in the Bon Apptit Test Kitchen as she attempts to make gourmet Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs. That's right, Claire's making Girl Scout Cookies. Did you know the Girl Scouts started selling cookies back in 1917? But it wasn't until 1951 that the Thin Mint, the cookie most synonymous with the Girl Scouts, was introduced and swept the country like a tidal wave. And now here we are, in the Test Kitchen, watching Claire make them herself. What a time to be alive

Oh, Claire, Claire, Claire. How I've missed our little chats. And now, as I must endure a 14-day, self-imposed quarantine (with cocktails, my mind drifts back to a scene of little Claire, proudly wearing her crisp, new uniform of Brownie-empowerment, jaw firmly set at a determined angle, strutting confidently up to her neighbor's door, and, finding the neighbor out, thinking to herself, Fk this, I quit Oh, but you didn't quit, did you, Claire? No, not you. Your mind was made up, and you decided, right then and right there, that you must persevere. You would endure this initial tragedy, and proudly march on, to the next door, and the next, and the next. Your mind was resolute If I can sell at least 40 boxes before I abruptly quit, I will still get the 'cookie-boogie' patch (and maybe the magic bubble wand, too, if Mee-Maw takes the paper to her hair appointment on Thursday and really Goes For It. Most of all, I would still be invited to Sheila McGaffery's Build-A-Bear Workshop birthday sleepoverNow, when you wake up in the dark and hear the scraping of those awful black patent-leather shoes, you think, if your Granny saves poor Claire's cookie sales, you could make them stop, don't you? You think if Claire sells enough cookies, you won't wake up in the dark ever again to that awful scraping of the shoes. Just kidding, Clarice. Claire. If hating help when it's forced upon you, yet begging for it once you're 'tired, ' combined with a strange addiction to microwave-based anxiety therapy didn't make you a Girl Scout SUPERSTAR, I don't know what would'veLove youuuuu.

I feel so incredibly bad for all the Girl Scout leaders right now. I was a Girl Scout for 2/3rds of my life, so I still know tons of people in them. Right now, because of the virus, several troops are stuck with CASES of cookies and literally cant sell them. :( Cookie sales are usually one of the main sources of revenue for the troops, so some troops literally have no money now to do anythingnot like they could anyways, because of the virus

American's are so lucky in Canada we get the mint ones but it's rare usually the only one's I can get are a box of mixed chocolate or vanilla and they taste terrible. One of my neighbours used to sell them and I would give her the money for a box and tell her to keep the box they taste that bad.

I can't believe I just did this. I just get really focused on tasks sometimes and then lose perspective that I just spent the last. forty minutes? working on this? Probably not what Claire meant but this is SUCH an ADHD mood. Hyperfocus tunnel vision ftw

I've been in girl scouts my whole life and there is two different bakery for the cookies thats why in some states some of the cookies has a different name some of them have the same name like the thin mints.

I would argue that everything she did is perfect except the coconut on the Caramel Delights. I always thought the coconut and the caramel were mixed rather than dipped separately. Either way great job Claire

Claire at the end of the day: I'm feeling confident. THE NEXT DAY Claire: I don't have a great feeling. Man, I swear, the editing is spot on. Perfectly captures the roller coaster that is Gourmet Makes.

Unfortunately the Girl Scouts is losing a lot of money and participation because the Boy Scouts decided to get woke and let girls join. A lose-lose move for both the Boy and Girl Scouts.

Ok love girl scout cookies and the three you made ok. but you missed my absolute favorite the peanut butter sandwiches Not even a quick cameo. Its ok I forgive you, claire can do no wrong

Gabys badge(s) would definitely be kindness and generosity. One of things Leos have in common with Virgos is their tendency to be control freaks. never related to Claire more this episode
