QUINCY, ILL. -- The Girl Scouts of Central Illinois officially kicked off its annual cookie sales Friday.
All your favorite cookies are back with boxes going for four dollars a box.
75 percent of the proceeds stay here locally to help support troop activities and programming.
And for the third year in a row the Girl Scouts of Central Illinois are trying to send a little bit of home overseas to U.S. troops.
Erica Douglas with the Girl Scouts of Central Illinois said, "It's called operation cookie share and so when a girl scout approaches you to buy cookies, tell them you want to support the troops and we will make sure they get there."
The sale ends on February 5 and delivery will began in the beginning of March.

Chocolate Thin Mint Pizza Supreme
Ingredients:
1 pkg. (18 oz.) refrigerated chocolate chunk cookie dough
1/2 pkg. (19 cookies) Girl Scout Thin Mints
1/2 cup white chocolate morsels
Vanilla ice cream, optional
Instructions:
Press cookie dough evenly in the bottom of an ungreased 12-inch pizza pan or a 13x9x2-inch baking pan. (Dough will barely cover the pan.) Break Thin Mints into halves or thirds; press cookie pieces into dough, covering evenly. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Place white chocolate morsels into a small self-closing bag. Microwave the bag of morsels on MEDIUM HIGH (70% power) for 40 to 50 seconds or until melted. Snip one corner (about 1/8 inch) off the bottom of the bag. Hold bag tightly at top and drizzle white chocolate stripes over top of pizza. When cool, cut pizza into 8 or 10 wedges. If desired, top each serving with a scoop of ice cream.
