Local Bakeries Team Up with Girl Scouts Louisiana East to Craft Cookie-Inspired Treats

La Boulangerie and Levee Baking Co. release delicious new desserts using iconic Girl Scout Cookies as signature ingredients.

GONZALES, LA, UNITED STATES, March 14, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Girl Scouts Louisiana East (GSLE) is teaming up with local New Orleans bakeries to offer a sweet twist on cookie season with its first-ever Cookie Crawl—an innovative partnership where bakeries craft specialty desserts using iconic Girl Scout Cookie flavors. This delicious initiative not only celebrates local culinary creativity but also directly supports girls across GSLE’s 23-parish region.

The Cookie Crawl launches with La Boulangerie and Levee Baking Co., two well-known local bakeries, each purchasing 10 cases of Girl Scout Cookies to create one-of-a-kind desserts inspired by the beloved treats.

La Boulangerie’s dessert, available this upcoming weekend, will feature a Cream Cheese Mousse with Strawberry Trefoil^® Crumble, using the classic Trefoils^® Girl Scout Cookie.

Levee Baking Co. has already begun making a decadent Banana Pudding with Brown Sugar Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookie Crumble, incorporating three Girl Scout Cookie varieties—Thin Mints^®, Caramel deLites^®, and Peanut Butter Sandwiches^®.

In addition to enjoying these exclusive treats, customers can purchase Girl Scout Cookies on-site every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday during the event while supplies last, as local Girl Scouts will set up cookie booths at each bakery. Every purchase helps fuel life-changing experiences in S.T.E.M., outdoor adventure, life skills, and entrepreneurship for girls throughout southeast Louisiana.

“The Cookie Crawl is more than just a delicious collaboration—it’s an opportunity for our community to support girls as they develop key leadership and entrepreneurial skills,” said Rebecca Pennington, CEO of Girl Scouts Louisiana East. “By partnering with local businesses, we’re not only amplifying the reach of the Girl Scout Cookie Program^® but also giving our girls a platform to engage with their community in a meaningful way.”

Girl Scouts Louisiana East is inviting other local bakeries and food establishments to join the Cookie Crawl by creating their own unique desserts featuring Girl Scout Cookies.
