Trefoils
Clover-shaped scout cookies
Trefoils are shapes or designs featuring three lobes or leaflets, like a clover or shamrock.
The pattern appears in architecture, heraldry, and decorative arts: Gothic windows with trefoil arches.
In botany, trefoil refers to plants with three-part leaves, particularly clovers.
Trefoils are also a variety of Girl Scout cookie shaped with this motif.
