The Girl Guides of Canada have announced they're trimming trans fats from their chocolate and vanilla cookies - two years after the US Girl Scouts eliminated use of the artery-clogging oils in their sweets.
REGINA - A new recipe has been baked up for a much-loved Canadian treat - the Girl Guide cookie.
Girl Guides of Canada says that starting in the spring, the classic chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies will have 90 per cent less trans fat.
The group says it has been working closely with cookie baker Dare Foods to reduce the trans fat content while maintaining the same taste.
The Girl Guide cookie originated in Regina in 1927 and more than four million are sold each year.

Hi Amy, I've sold my share of the chocolate / white cookies. I guess they don't go door to door anymore. Nothing has been said about changing the Mint Cookie, their Fall cookie. I haven't tried them, past my time : ( - are they good?

They're so good! They are definitely better than the vanilla and chocolate ones in my opinion.
I guess they don't sell them door to door because it could be too dangerous now, which is a real shame in my opinion.

I love the mint ones and the peanut butter ones the best. (Never tried the chocolate and vanilla ones.)
