Thanks for your comment. Don't forget to share!

Directions state to add cream (no cream in ingredient list) and it says to add milk in two different places but not how much (only 5 tablespoons listed once in the ingredients) ...steps 2 and 4 ... please, clarify.

THANK YOU for this. Now I can make Girl Scout cookies any time of the year! I'll probably still be a monster and buy them, too, but there you go.
