DoSiDos are a perennial Girl Scout cookie favorite. This is the best copycat version you’ll find.

Best Copycat Girl Scout DoSiDos

i’ve tried a lot of copycat recipes for these perennially favorite Girl Scout cookies, but none have come as close to this one.

There’s something for everyone in these cookies. If you like oatmeal, check, it’s in here. If you like coconut, check, it’s also in here. As a side note if you’re not fond of coconut, it can be left out. Last but not least is the creamy peanut butter filling. It’s absolutely wonderful!

These aren’t formed in the usual peanut butter cookie way so leave the fork in the drawer.

Shaping

Unlike the usual shaping of traditional peanut butter cookies, with these you don’t press them down in a cross-hatch with a fork,

These cookies are actually drop cookies and you can just drop them on the cookie sheet and let ‘er rip, as they say. However, if you want consistent sizes, you’ll want to go the extra step of rolling them into small balls. The issue, besides aesthetics, is that they are sandwich cookies so you want them all to be pretty much the same size,

I actually measured out the dough using a standard measuring tablespoon–and leveling it off. This made balls about the size of a hazelnut and that worked out very well as far as consistency in size went. I didn’t want humungous cookies. If you do, then make the balls a little bigger. Remember the yield is actually half because you use two cookies to make one–if that makes sense,

Filling

This is crazy delicious so you have to stop yourself from “taste testing” before the cookies are filled.

The caution here is that it makes quite a bit so you may have some left over. I did and I wasn’t cheap with filling the cookies either. Granted I didn’t measure the amount I put on; I just eyeballed it but I would say it was about 1 1/2 tablespoons if I had to guess.

A pastry bag with a 1/2-inch round tip works pretty well for distributing the filling, but I just dropped it on with a spoon, placed the other cookie on top and squeezed the middle. Worked for me and I had less to wash up.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbs milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 3/4 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1 cup sweetened coconut

Peanut Butter Filling:

  • 3 cups confectioners sugar
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, peanut butter and butter until creamy. Beat in the eggs and vanilla.
  • Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, coconut and oats in another bowl; mix well. Add this to the peanut butter mixture, beating at low speed until well blended. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Drop by level tablespoon onto prepared sheets spacing 2-inches/5 cm apart. Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges are beginning to get golden brown. Cool on sheets 2 minutes then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Beat all filling ingredients together until the mixture is creamy. You may have to add a drop or 2 more milk to get the proper consistency--it should be like a soft frosting.
  • Place about 1-2 tablespoons of filling on half the cookies (on the side that's flat that was the down side on the sheet) then top with another cookie and press so the filling shows around the edges.
  • Yield varies but I got 32 sandwich cookies.

Notes

Confectioner's sugar is icing sugar in UK/EU
