Not only is it Girl Scout cookie season...in central Arkansas, it's also Girl Scout Cookie Restaurant Week! Girl Scouts–Diamonds of Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas is teaming up with local restaurants and chefs to create hand-crafted desserts, April 4-10. And the desserts feature—what else?—Girl Scout cookies!

Each partnered restaurant will feature a special dessert, inspired by one of the popular cookies. After last year's successful pilot program in Little Rock, the restaurant week has expanded to include restaurants in Fort Smith, Texarkana, Jonesboro, Pine Bluff and Fayetteville. For the full lineup of participating restaurants, click here.

In Little Rock and central Arkansas, you'll find Girl Scout cookie-inspired desserts at the following locations:

  • Big Orange-Midtown: Thin Mint Cookies & Cream Shake and Samoa Crush Shake
  • South on Main: Do-si-do Jar
  • Dinner’s Ready Catering Company, Benton
  • Izzy’s: Toffee-Tastic Shakedown gluten-free milkshake and Thin Mint Meltdown milkshake
  • Purple Cow-Chenal: Strawberry Trefoil Sundae (Click here to get the recipe from Little Rock Soiree!)
  • ZAZA Fine Salad & Wood Oven Pizza: Savannah Smiles Cookie Gelato
  • Colonial Wine & Spirits: Wine & Cookie Pairing, 4-6 p.m. April 6

Some locations around the state will even have the special dessert delivered straight to your door. In Little Rock, Chef Shuttle will deliver Purple Cow's creations. Or, if you just want to order a box of your favorite cookies, Chef Shuttle will also provide same-day Girl Scout cookie delivery in central and northwest Arkansas.
