Cookies & Milk Dessert Connection Showcase
Cookies & Milk Dessert Connection Showcase
Boost your cookie sales with GSSEM's Cookies & Milk Dessert Showcase. Interested Girl Scouts will find a local restaurant, bakery, coffee shop, or other food service business to partner with on a special Girl Scout Cookie dessert promotion. The business will need to purchase the cookies needed for the promotion from the troop/Girl Scout Juliette.
Get started
- Connect with local restaurants, coffee shops, work cafeterias, or favorite dessert shops and ask them to partner on a special Girl Scout Cookie dessert promotion.
- Working together with your partner business, come up with a dessert recipe using Girl Scout Cookies. The partnering business will feature the dessert on its menu for customers to purchase during the business's chosen time—for example, Valentine's Day or St. Patrick's Day.
- Once your recipe is developed and the partnering business commits, submit a request to promote your partnership.
Note: Partnering businesses must buy Girl Scout Cookies for the recipe from the troop or Juliette.
