SoDel Concepts will celebrate Girl Scout Cookie month by featuring a different cookie in a series of special desserts. The proceeds will go to the Girls Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay.

The hospitality group's chefs will compete March 15 for the Girl Scout Cookie Cup at The Clubhouse at Baywood. This will be the fifth year of the competition.

"We buy hundreds of boxes of Girl Scout cookies from local troops for the desserts, which are a big hit with our guests. They will often go to several restaurants just to see what each chef is doing," said Scott Kammerer, president of SoDel Concepts. "They're supporting a worthy cause; $1 from each dessert goes to the Girl Scouts."

Chef Alex Martinez of Northeast Seafood Kitchen won the trophy last year and the year before. He made a lemon ice cream pie with Savannah Smiles cookies and a peanut butter cheesecake with Do-si-dos.

"If the past is any indication, expect some fun desserts," said Doug Ruley, corporate chef for SoDel Concepts. "We are a very competitive crew, and we all want to bring home Matt's Girl Scout Cookie Cup."
