Girl Scout Cookie Cupcakes

A few years ago when I was a Girl Scout (please don't do any math!) I really enjoyed selling cookies.  There have been a few cookie changes over the years, but here are some cupcakes topped with my favorite Girl Scout cookies! 

Girl Scout cookies make great

Quick and Easy Cupcake Toppers

Cupcake toppers don't have to come pre-made from a store.

Use what you already have in the kitchen!

• chopped nuts
• chocolate curls/grated chocolate
• candied lemon and orange peels
• fresh strawberries or raspberries
• colored sugar
• a dusting of confectioner's sugar
• mini marshmallows
• candies - chunks of candy bars, M&Ms, peppermints, Hershey's Kisses
• gum drops/gummy bears
• graham crackers or Teddy Grahams - break off a wedge or crush them for sprinkling

Cupcake Cookies

While searching for a football cookie cutter to make a fondant topper for a batch of cupcakes, I found a cookie cutter shaped like a cupcake. I ordered a copper cupcake cookie cutter (try saying that three times really fast) from Copper Gifts.
