Girl Scout Cookies® are boxed cookies sold by the youth scouting association Girl Scouts USA (GSUSA) to raise funds for the organization. The founder of the Girl Scouts, Juliette Gordon Low, started the concept of selling cookies as a fundraising activity when Girl Scouts® baked cookies from their homes and sold them door to door in the 1920s and 1930s. The recipe used was for basic sugar cookies made with butter, sugar, flour, eggs, milk, vanilla, salt and baking powder. Before baking, the cookie dough was rolled out and cut with a trefoil-shaped cookie cutter. Trefoil is a three-leafed plant and is the symbol of the Girl Scouts®.
