When Girl Scout cookie season is over and you finish the last box, try making a copycat version of the s'mores cookie until their return. A homemade honey-wheat cookie serves as the base before getting a smear of marshmallow icing and drowned in melted chocolate. Keep these beauties layered between waxed paper in an airtight container in the fridge to prevent melting.
