Make one of your favorite childhood cookies, Girl Scout Tagalongs, at home with three simple ingredients.
This month I decided that I would finally get around to making some of those fantastic looking recipes I find on Pinterest. You know the ones you covet all year in that special board of "things to make"; then never really getting around to making them. Yeah those.
I wanted to make a quick dessert recently to bring over to a friends house for a get together and decided to make theseThree Ingredient Tagalongs by Back for Seconds.
Tagalongs are one of my favorite Girl Scout cookies and these looked so good. Who doesn't love any recipe that only contains three ingredients? Stephanie sold me hook, line and sinker.
How do you make Tagalongs?
For this recipe you'll need vanilla wafers, creamy peanut butter and melted chocolate. I did make a few adjustments to her recipe and used reduced fat wafers and semi sweet chocolate chips.
Spread the peanut butter on top of each vanilla wafer. Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds; then for 10 seconds at a time until melted.
If the chocolate is still too thick, add a drop or two of a light oil; like coconut oil to help thin it out. Place the cookies on a sheet pan lined with wax or parchment paper; then freeze for 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the freezer; then dip each cookie into the melted chocolate and use a spoon to coat the tops.
Take the cookie out of the bowl using a fork and place back onto the sheet pan. Once the chocolate has set and is no longer tacky, place the cookies in an airtight container.
You can store them at room temperature; however, I found that they held up better when stored in the refrigerator - especially if making these during warmer weather.
Do you know how I said I was going to bring these as a dessert? Yeah, that never happened. Little by little the plate of 40 cookies got smaller and smaller. When I got up the next morning before we were ready to leave, there were only 10 left on the plate!
I swear, if you would have told me girls eat as much as boys I would never have believed you. I don't know where they put it all! So I decided to make my No Bake Limoncello Pie instead and this time used all lemon juice instead of half limoncello and half lemon juice and it came out fantastic! ~Enjoy!
