Samoa Girl Scout Cookie Morphs Into A Doughnut

By John Dodge

CHICAGO (CBS) -- Of all the Girl Scout cookies, the thin mint seems to get all of the attention.

First, a Girl Scout poll found that the Samoa is more-favored that the Thin Mint, although actual cookie sales would indicate otherwise.

Second, the Samoa can be turned into a doughnut.

According to a recipe devised by Thrillist, creating the treat is labor intensive: more than three hours of prep time for a half dozen.

Others have also devised similar recipes.

It just might be worth the effort.
