A Lemon Pie with Girl Scout Cookie Crust might just be your new favorite dessert. Girl Scout cookies have been a part of our lives for many years, as I was a Girl Scout leader and had two daughters in the program. After every cookie season, we definitely start to get creative with the cookies we have left. And normally, the last to go in our home were the Trefoils. Trefoils are the Girl Scout’s Shortbread cookie…and they’re easy to use for any crust!
Another item we have so much of right now are lemons! And not just any lemon, we have a dwarf Meyer Lemon Tree in our Burbank backyard that is ever bearing…and I mean it. It’s always producing lemons. I feel very blessed. This year already I’ve made my share of Lemon Bars, Cookies, Cakes, Curd and well, anything that requires lemon!

My family agrees that this lemon pie is the best thing I’ve made so far. And if it’s not the best, then it’s a close second to our Lemon Bars. And you can get that recipe HERE. This recipe is really easy to make and super easy to make ahead of time. And get this…the bake time is only 10 minutes! You can do this!

We are lucky enough to have a lemon tree in our Southern California backyard. But you can probably find lemons (I prefer Meyer) at your local grocery store or Farmer’s Market. I don’t recommend using bottled juice, but hey, if it’s all you have access to, go for it! (And then let me know how it turned out!)
There are only a few items you’ll need to make this pie. Take a look at the recipe below, but I love Pyrex pie dishes. And this is my favorite Kosher Salt.
