The OG Girl Scout cookie recipe from 1922.More specifically this is the recipe for the Trefoil cookie. When I tried making this recipe, I had no idea what they meant by “quick oven” so I had to look it up. Apparently, it’s a vintage term that was used for wood-burning stoves, which required people to gauge temperature manually. These are the settings:Quick Oven: 375-400FHot Oven: 400-425FVery Hot Oven: 450-475FExtremely Hot Oven: 500F or more.The dough is super sticky, so definitely chill it before you start rolling. Parchment paper definitely helped!Back in the day, the Girl Scouts actually baked their own cookies to sell. This is that recipe. Enjoy!
