This is what happens…
…when Miss Smart stumbles upon an unopened sleeve of Girl Scout Trefoils (what would commonly be called “the shortbread ones”) in the Teachers’ Lounge…
…and obviously takes them home, for some purpose at the time unknown.
Until today, when a mix of Total 2% Fage Greek yogurt and a dash of vanilla extract…
…made its way onto each of the shortbread cookies.
And some sliced up strawberries…
[Once hulled, I keep them stored with a paper towel, because someone once told me it helps to keep them from getting moldy? If that's not true, I don't really care.]
…found their way on top.
The easiest, re-invented strawberry shortcake I’ve ever seen.
I think she’d be proud.

So cute. I've heard the paper towel trick for herbs, but not strawberries. I do know that you are supposed to wash them with a wet paper towel and not rinse them under a stream of water.
I do not follow this though, because it takes up too much time. Like you, I sometimes don't even bother washing my fruit. A little dirt doesn't hurt.
What an awesome use of Girl Scout cookies! I loved Strawberry Shortcake dolls when I was a kid!
Oh man, that sounds so damn good right now. Curse me, eating all my trefoils right after I got them!!
I'll just have to stick with my strawberries and reddi whip until next girl scout cookie season!
Adorable. Ahh strawberry season is almost upon us. But my dog keeps laying directly on top of my strawberry plants.
Strawberry shortcake looked kinda kinky to me. Poor girl, I'm sure she was made fun of at school when people called her a " fire crotch"
Ahhhh so easy yet SO perfect! YUUMM..good call on snaggin those cookies!
Sarah! I ♥ these! What a yummo creation and perfect use of the left over cookies! Perfect , easy summer treat! You rock! xo
That is so easy and great for my lazy hostess-ness.
Haha this is awesome!
amazing in its simplicity! i want one
What a brilliant idea.. such a summery dessert!
I think this would be a really cute idea for a party with a bunch of other "small bite" foods like cucumber sandwiches (:
very cute! i am not a huge fan of naked trefoils but dressing up them up like this would be quite fun. thank you for the suggestion
I love this- very easy with pantry staples! (well, if cookies are a pantry staple, which they are for me…)
These would be really cute for a party too!
looks so yummy, yet so simple to make! i honestly think i have some trefoils lying around…
