Tagalong Crescents Recipe

tagalong-crescents-1

It’s that time of year again. The time when Girl Scouts everywhere literally are everywhere, selling their Thin Mints, Samoas and Tagalongs. I’m talking about Girl Scout cookies, people.

Yes, the little darlings are out en masse, camped out in front of every supermarket in town, hawking their wares. And, they are good at it, too! Seriously. They must throw in a Dale Carnegie course or two when they sign you up! It would take the most hardened of hearts to resist those sweet, angelic faces. I don’t know about you, but my steely resolve goes right out the window each time I look into a pair of those sad and pleading eyes. So, I buy cookies – lots of them. And then, I take them home and try to figure out what the heck to do with them!

Why, oh why do these Daring Bakers challenges always sneak up on me? It happens every time! I woke up at 4:00 this morning in the kind of cold sweat that could only mean that today was the “reveal date”. And, I had nothing. Absolutely nothing. Again. So, …

When I was a little girl, one of my family’s weekly rituals was going to Mass at St. Clare’s on Sunday mornings and then stopping at Enrico’s Bakery on Morris Park Avenue afterwards for pastries. We did this every Sunday without fail. We’d get a big box filled …
