So our favorite Girl Scout cookie just got ten times better.
Everything you love about Samoas, but with cinnamon sugar and dulce de leche.
I mean, I mean?!?! Does that not sound awesome or what???
Alright so here’s the deal. It’s Friday and I think I have legit made over forty recipes this week, and well, I can’t deny that I’m feeling a little beat…but not horribly so. Oddly I am still happy and excited, and yes, I even want to continue cooking and photographing. I had kind of a rough day on Wednesday, but I went into Thursday with a new mindset that I am hoping to carry on throughout the day.
Like bring on the last day of the week, I am SOO ready for you.
OKok and I’m maybe ready for a few cookies too. I made ZERO chocolate this week. It was about all things savory and colorful…I think. To be honest, I can’t even remember everything I made. I’d have to go back and go through photos to tell you if there was chocolate. Which would take hours, like no joke, so let’s just chat about these cute and delicious cookies. Mmm, k?
Cool!
SOO.
These cookies are just like everyone’s favorite Girl Scout cookie, but instead of the same old caramel we’re using Mexican Dulce de Leche.
YESS.
Dulce de Leche…aka the bestest kind of caramel goodness around.
AND that’s not all. Those buttery shortbread cookies? Yeah, those get rolled through a little cinnamon sugar just as they come out of the oven. So think churro, meets chocolate coconut cookie.
Really, the only words that best describe these cookies are simple.
SO GOOD… So, So, So Good!
They are really sweet, sweeter than most desserts I typically make because they have cinnamon sugar and caramel. But it’s still cool, cause they are just that good, and because it’s Friday. And on Friday, especially this Friday, I just feel like we need something extra, extra sweet, sinful and just amazing.
Plus, I feel like a really good treat is a must today since it’s my cousin Abby’s birthday. Which also means… celebration time. Typically I would make a cake, but Abby is BIG on the Mexican food scene, so I felt like Samoas were much more fitting.
Eeerrr, well? Truth is, I had another post in mind for today that I had promised Abby would go up on her birthday, but I just didn’t have the recipe ready to go in time. It needs some tweaking on my end, so next Friday. Sorry about that Abby, BUT I mean, I know you’ll appreciate these cookies.
Again… cinnamon sugar, Dulce de Leche, coconut and chocolate.
Now can we all just give Friday a giant fist pump?!?! ?
And then make some KILLER Samoas cookies?!?!?

And then eat them ALL?!?! Please, please, please?! Let’s start the weekend off right. ?
PS. Abby, hope you have the bestest of birthdays. Eat some damn good Mexican and then finish it off with these homemade Mexican Samoas Cookies. Get your sweet roommate (yes, you Sarah) to make them for you. And Sarah, don’t forget to put a candle in there too. DO IT 🙂 ?
Oh my gosh, Tieghan! These look amazing! On another note, forty recipes this week? I can’t even wrap my brain around the possibility of that! Does that mean made and shot? Is that 24/7? Are you cloning yourself in the kitchen? Wow. Just wow.
Thank you!! Haha basically, feels like 24/7!
Wouldn’t it be cool if these were giant edible inflatables for swimming with? The things I think about 🙂 They look so good Tieghan!!
HAHA Thanks Gerry!!
These cookies look incredible! I must make these…or make my husband make them for me. 😛 I just love the taste of samoas, but hate all the artificial ingredients in the Girl Scouts kind. These look so much better. I seriously want them now.
Thank you!! i hope you get to make them and love them!
How far in advance can these be made ahead? Can they be frozen?
Hi Lisa,
These are good for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Yes, you can freeze them. Please let me know if you have any other questions! xT
Forty recipes?! I would drop dead. But these cookies-so perfect. Also take a vacation!
It is a LOT of work but its fun! Thanks Megan!
Girlfriend, I seriously don’t know how you come up with so many amazing recipes. You’re a freaking genius.
Awh thank you so much Sarah!
These cookies look amazing!!! Beautiful photos as usual! Forty recipes??? That’s incredible!!
Thanks Deborah! ((:
There is no way I could make and photograph 40 recipes in one week and remain functional! How do you do it?! These cookies look like the perfect pick-me-up however, yum!
I dunno!! I just try and keep it fun, though it gets to me sometimes! Thanks for the kind words Hannah:)
Wow Tieghan, I can’t imagine our favorite Girl Scout cookie getting ten times better, but if you had something to do with it, I would totally agree! These look amazing! I’m sure Abby’s going to LOVE them!
WOW Thank you so much! I hope so! Thanks Mary Ann
These look amazing I just made some buttermilk miso dulce de leches so I may make some with that xxx
Sounds yummy! Hope you love them!
Wow, these look phenomenal! Samoas are my favorite and I love that you added a Mexican twist – and just in time for Cinco de Mayo, too! Also, 40 recipes?! You deserve a vacation. There’s no way I could do that in one week and still have the energy to string together a sentence.
Thank you!! HAHA im being told that a lot! Maybe its time!!
Ok whoa! These look incredible and I’ll definitely be making them! Great photos!
Thanks so much Kathy
Ok, this is the best recipe you’ve ever done. Samoas are the most addicting cookie out there. Okay, heading to Target to get a Spanx bathing suit now. (they’re cheaper there).
Haha thank you Laura!!
Um beautiful!!! Samoas are one of the BEST cookies!
They’re so yummy! thanks Rebecca!
Glad your Friday is better than your Wednesday and hope your Saturday is even better.
As for the cookies I’ve never had this kind but they look good.
Thanks!! ME too!! Hope you get to try Nancy!
when does dulce de leche not make something better?!?! and i love how these look- golden and toasty and chocolatey and pretty spot on with the originals!
AH Thank you Heather!
