I never had this Girlscout cookie! It looks delicious!
I have been an avid baker my whole life, so when I was diagnosed with celiac disease 8 months ago I was devastated. Your website has been a real lifeline for me.
I just made these today and my kids and husband, who are cookie connoisseurs and ARE allowed to eat gluten, just declared these better than the real girl scout lemonade cookies! Although I’m not a big fan of sweet lemon things, I really liked these because of the tartness the lemon crystals give them.
Now they would like me to make all the other girl scout copycat recipes too. :)
I made these yesterday, and they are so good! They are light and crisp and just tart enough. I love the real lemon flavor with the lemon zest/ juice and the True Lemon (which I had looked at before, but had never tried- good stuff!) I told my daughter since she can eat gluten, we are going to hunt down some girl scouts and get her a box, so she’ll stay out of mine, but I suspect she will like these better. I need to find a better hiding place…
Nicole, these are fabulous! I’ll definitely be making them again. And getting the True Lemon out of the cupboard reminded me that I haven’t made lemon squares in quite some time . . . Thank you for another winning recipe!
Nicole, you are officially my hero! I have been following your blog for a little over a week and… EVERY recipe I have made has needed exactly ZERO alterations to make it perfectly delicious! Sigh… Food heaven is where I have been… Going to make these now… Thank you to the ends of the earth!

I love lime desserts, too, so I was thinking last night that while they wouldn’t be girl scout cookies anymore, these would also be great with True Lime (and lime zest/juice, of course) I may have to make some of each- would be so pretty!
Can’t believe I never tried True Lemon before.Made the cookies this morning and we thought they were the absolute best. Think I will add True Lemon to other lemon recipes to really bring out the flavor. Added the zest of a lemon to the filling as well.We ate some before the filling was set and they oozzed but it was sure fun licking our fingers.
