Tagalongs


Girl Scout Cookie recreations are baaaaaack! Tagalongs....what can I really say about Tagalongs? Umm...they're delicious. They have peanut butter AND chocolate. So, they're obviously amazing. They're my second favourite Girl Scout Cookie after Samoas. So, it's pretty sad that it's taken this long for me to recreate them, but tbh I was sorta worried they'd be a pain in the butt to make cause peanut butter and chocolate coating are messy enough by themselves. But in the end, it wasn't that bad at all. And even if it was as tragic as I had imagined, IT WOULD HAVE SO BEEN WORTH IT.

So, without further ado I present the ingredient list for yummy vegan, gluten free, refined sugar-free Tagalongs:
for the cookies: 1/4 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
1 tablespoon almond milk
1 cup buckwheat flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Pre-heat the oven to 180 C. Line a tray with baking paper or oil a baking tray. Mix up the wet, add the dry. Flour a surface and, using a rolling pin, roll out the dough. Then cut the cookies into circles (or I guess whatever shape you want, but then they won't look like the real-deal). Bake for 5-10 minutes, until they turn a light golden-brown.

for the peanut butter filling: 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

Mix up the PB, coconut oil, and sweetener of choice until combined. Spread the peanut butter filling on the cookies (preferably after they've had a chance to cool down, otherwise the PB will melt AAALLLL OOOVER your cookies and it'll be messy (but delicious)).

for the chocolate coating: 1/2 cup cocoa/cacao
2 tablespoons coconut oil
4 tablespoons agave
1/4 cup water

Mix all the ingredients together, except for the water. Add the water slowly until it reaches your desired consistency (which will be pretty thin for easy coating). It took me about 1/4 cup, but just be careful. You don't want it to go too liquidy. Dip each cookie into the chocolate coating (peanut butter side up, or else you're gonna have problems, my friend), freeze overnight, devour in the morning.
