Organic Paleo Thin Mints

Growing up, you always knew when it was Girl Scout Cookie time.  Everywhere you went, whether it was school, the park, or a friend’s house, they had their favorite girl scout cookies in hand.

As a kid, unless you have a serious food allergy, you didn’t pay attention to all of the ingredients in the foods you were consuming.  It didn’t take us long to realize what kind of synthetic ingredients were added to conventional foods, including girl scout cookies.

From time to time, when we are at events, our daughters will come in contact with foods that we do not allow in our home.  It’s cute, because they will not ask to eat one at the event, instead they ask if we can re-create the organic healthy version.  Of course, when we get home, we start to come up with an organic recipe to replace the processed version.

We think you will be quite satisfied with our organic paleo version!
