If you've ever craved the irresistible taste of Tagalongs, Thin Mints, or Samoas in the offseason, you know it's almost impossible to find another treat that will satisfy. Well, enough hoarding Girl Scout cookies in your freezer until the next selling season comes around—now you can make these fun and flavorful copycat cookies in your own kitchen! Your guests, family, and friends will be delighted by the sweet flavors of nostalgia, and, above all, impressed that they didn't come out of a box. Sink your teeth into these delicious desserts knowing there's no shortage coming to your pantry any time soon.

Homemade Thin Mints

Finally: you can remake the beloved mint-chocolate cookie in your very own kitchen with this simple recipe (that means no more stocking up on dozens of boxes for the year!) These copycats deliver the perfect delicate crunch and not-too-sweet chocolate flavor for a cookie that's simply irresistible. We don't mean to brag, but these dupes are spot on.

Hockey Pucks

Peanut butter-chocolate lovers, these homemade "hockey pucks" are for you. This riff on the traditional Tagalong cookie is made with just three ingredients but delivers all of the flavor and crisp texture of your favorite chocolate-peanut butter treats.

While some reviewers have tried using white or dark chocolate to switch up the flavor, Allrecipes user Sharon offers a new variation: "I also made these using Nilla Wafers instead of the ritz crackers and everybody loved them. They are a huge hit with my family."

Copycat Do-Si-Dos

"These are so close to the Girl Scout oatmeal peanut butter cookies that you won't know the difference," says recipe creator Joanne Reaney, and over 1,000 reviewers agree! Thin and chewy on the outside, soft and sweet on the inside, these peanut butter sandwich cookies are just as crave-worthy as the classics.

Homemade Lemonades

Just like the sweet, light, lemon shortbread cookies made famous by the Girl Scouts, these delicious snacks are also bursting with sweet citrus flavor. Thanks to a little creativity with a toothpick and knife, they even have the adorable sliced lemon look. Finish them off with a thin, tart glaze to bring in even more bright flavor.

Homemade Tagalongs

In a side-by-side taste test, this crunchy vanilla cookie layered with a creamy peanut butter filling and thin chocolate coating is almost mistakable for a traditional Tagalong. Better yet, our simple copycat recipe ensures that your favorite peanut butter-chocolate treat can stay on the table year-round.
