Trefoils are a basic shortbread cookie, made most popular as the classic cookie sold by Girl Scouts during their yearly cookie sales. Fancy them up by adding baking with brown sugar, chocolate and nuts, coconut or sesame seeds. Probably best to make a double batch!

Yeah, that should be good too.
what about tea biscuts?
Any kind of shortbread cookie will do, not as good when they are parve, but I am sure you can find something that is like shortbread and worst case maybe try graham crackers.
where can you get Trefoils in the 5t? the girl scout cookies ones are dairy – any out there that are pareve? what can be used in its place?
