How can Girl Guide Cookie Cheesecake not be a “thing”? How can it not be as popular as an Oreo cheesecake? Aren’t millions of these sold every year? Don’t we all look forward to those cute little kids peddling their sugary wares in the neighborhood?
For me, these cookies are a taste of my own childhood since I was a Brownie and a Girl Guide for more years than I remember. I remember selling these door to door to all of our neighbors -and I lived on an acreage! My poor parents had to drive me for hours to sell these cookies!
Back to this not being a “thing’. I had to come up with my own recipe for this, since I couldn’t find one online. I figured I could just take a fabulous cheesecake recipe and then add the cookies.
However, I didn’t have a fabulous cheesecake recipe.
Sooo I came up with one that has sour cream, heavy cream and cream cheese, because you all know I always have to make things crazy overloaded with awesome.
This is some serious awesome.
Now, I used only one box of cookies but let me tell you, you can add more to the batter if you like and heck, sprinkle some more on. The boxes contain only 20 cookies each, which is good enough for this recipe, but like I said, I like to overload on the awesome.
I wouldn’t hesitate to add another 4-5 crushed cookies into the batter and then load up the top as well!
Plus you’d be supporting Girl Guides even more by purchasing two boxes of cookies! And the leftovers? Well, I’m sure that you can think of something that you can do with them 😉
So.
Who has sold Girl Guide Cookies in their youthful days gone by? Who had to take their own kids out this year and help them sell cookies? I almost wish the Rose was in Girl Guides so I could get my hands on more of these cookies easily!
Happy Baking everyone!

The center of this recipe didn’t bake properly. Next time I will only use 2 blocks of cream cheese and 2/3 of everything else. I was super sad when the center remained too liquidy/soft.
Heather Hall says
Would love to see you make a recipe for the mint cookies that are sold in the fall.
Caity Klaudt says
I’m in BC. I have no idea
The Kitchen Magpie says
They don’t have the mint one in the States anymore I thought, so are they getting the normal ones?
Caity Klaudt says
Bought some today and they are the mint ones :(. My heart likes with the vanilla “Oreo style”
Candice Gamez says
The Fall cookies are the mint chocolate. Still would make a yummy dessert.
