For many people, the holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year but in my opinion, the most wonderful time of the year comes shortly after the new year. Im of course talking about Girl Scout cookie season .

I can hear the children selling overpriced cookies while the smell of Samoas floats through the air. More times than Id like to admit, I have found myself making excuses to visit a Home Depot knowing they would be waiting for me outside.

Unfortunately, cookie season doesnt come in time for all of your holiday festivities. The earliest it begins is in January , and its much later in some locations. In spite of this poor scheduling by your local troop, I have a simple fix: Make your own.
