Rescuing Girl Scout Cookies

I discovered a box of Girl Scout cookies (Trefoils--the shortbread ones) in my freezer that have been there since last year. One of the packages was open, and do you know that nasty, freezer taste that foods take on when they've been in there for too long? I know how to get rid of it!

I put the cookies on a sheet pan and baked them for about 10-15 minutes in a 200 degree oven. Viola! They tasted as fresh as this year's. (By the way, you can get rid of that freezer taste in bread too, by doing the same thing. Perfect for making bread crumbs.)

Probably wouldn't work with thin mints of course, but it'll work with Do-Si-Dos, or any of their cookies that aren't chocolate-covered.

Just thought I'd share...
