    I can't eat any of them sadly...celiac disease.  I think they tried to make a gluten free cookie though didn't they?  I don't remember which one.  Do they still make one (I didn't see it in the list being passed around at my work here)?

    Before my diagnosis, I was thin mints all the way followed by samoas.  
    Yes they do, they're terrible. You have to order them by the case. Please don't bother 
    There is a new gluten free. It's the last cookie in the pic. 
  • Mine came in last weekend...they are almost all gone already. I knew I should have doubled the order!! Samoas & Tagalongs are hands down the best. My husband likes the lemonades but I don't believe in ordering cookies that don't at least have chocolate or peanut butter ;)
  • We only get $4?! I suppose it would be to be thin mints but samoas and shortbread are also delicious. That's a tough one for sure!

    Peanut Butter Patties or Savannah Smiles -- I used to be a hardcore Thin Mint fan when I was a kid, but that was before they changed the recipe. Anyone else who's old enough to remember when Thin Mints had the layer of mint cream under the chocolate, and you could lick it off and find the Girl Scouts trefoil on the cookie?

    Weirdly, my cousin's local council (in the same state, a few hundred miles away) growing up used a different baker than we did, so we would end up selling one another boxes of whatever cookies we weren't selling ourselves. It was really exciting when the weird other Girl Scout cookies showed up.
    YES! When I sold Girl Scout cookies, this was the Thin Mint recipe and it was amazing. I miss them so much. I still love Thin Mints but they are not the same.

    This makes me all kinds of happy.  Thank you!
  • @Scout27 Did you have Lemon Pastry Cremes, too? Those were amazing

  • Samoas are the only cookies in my book. Tagalongs are pretty good too but don't compare to Samoas :smile:

  • Wait a minute!  Cookies in San Diego cost $5 a box. Lol. Where do I get $4 cookies???  I just had the thank you cookies for the first time (purchased in riverside county since apparently San Diego doesn't carry them) and they are delicious!!  But peanut butter sandwiches will always be my first true love ❤️
  • Meh. I don't like Girl Scout cookies either.

    You're a crazy person. haha. 

    Tagalongs 100%. Thin mints will do in a pinch. Why have I not seen little girl scouts selling cookies anywhere yet???!?! I would have already bought at least 10 boxes. 
  • Tagalongs followed extremely closely by Samoas!

  • Thin mints for sure!
  • Samoas  for lyfe! Followed with a close second by thin mints in the freezer. We can't do Samoas anymore but I can still by the crap outta the thin mints.

  • Lemonades and Samoas for the win!!! I don't let these in the house usually (just because we both get sweets at work, so why buy more at home...in an attempt to be healthy) but we have already bought three boxes this year :) #babyfood 
  • Also...I think Thin Mints are gross.

    **runs away**
  • It's a tie between the PB patties and Samoas. You can't make me decide- I'm growing a human :wink: I also heart Thin Mints....like a lot. 
  • Peanut butter patties hands down!!!i love PB and chocolate together I told my husband for Valentine's Day forget the card and flowers I bag of Reese peanut butter eggs!

    Ok, thanks.  No trios but I'll be on the look out for the toffee tastics.  :)

    Thin Mints out of the freezer, following closely by Shortbread (Trefoils) with a hot cup of coffee.


    This. But, I would eat the thin mints and blame it on the baby. Who takes food from a pregnant lady anyway!? Pregnancy is totally a cookie game changer. 
  • I'm getting my GS cookies tomorrow from my friend's daughter. Peanut butter patties first and then thin mints and caramel delights are tied for second. I also paid 5 dollars a box this year. Maybe it depends on location- Boston area here.



  • Right now probably the PB patties. But it could be any of them at any given time.

  • I haven't commented in a while but I just thought I would because I used to work for our local Girl Scout Council and had to work with troops and their cookies sales and my god it is INSANE!! Moms in fist fights over selling locations, people running away with cookie money, CRAZINESS!

    Anywhooo, my favorites were definitely Samoas (which are better than Caramel DeLights in my opinion) and Tagalongs! There are two different Girl Scout cookie bakers and each council gets to select which baker they will use, which is why they have different names and councils in the same state might sell different cookies! Our council switched bakers while I was there and there was definitely an uproar, people are attached to their cookies!. I prefer Little Brownie Bakers cookies to ABC Bakers but they are all so good!
  • Hmm, I think it's a regional thing because they've always been called Caramel DeLights. And they've always had a special place in my heart :)

  • Agree @izzyp25. Samoas are wayyyy better than the caramel delights.   Have you tried the ice cream yet? I haven't but I've been tempted!

    Sweet angels in heaven I did NOT know that there was ICE CREAM!  I knew about the Thin Mints one, but... you just rocked my world.  Guess who's grocery shopping after work!?! 
    Pregnancy Ticker
  • @kballew10  there is a store locator on their website (breyers). :) 
  • @KOR121 - You are my new favorite person.  And they have it at our grocery store!  Or at least the website says that they do.  If they don't, they better be prepared for some crazy pregnant woman antics!

  • @KOR121 and @Kballew10 you're blowing my mind!! I knew about the thin mints ice cream but had never heard of the Samoas ice cream!!!! I'll be making a stop tonight for sure!!

    This!!!!! I posted similar to this back on page 1, but forgot the names of the bakers. Whoever is in the clear wrapping is my winner!
