2023. Here they are--
Thin Mints--my favorites
Trefoils
Carmel Delights
Peanut Butter Patties
Peanut Butter Sandwiches
Lemonades
Toast Yay
Charmel Chocolate Chip
Raspberry Rally--sounds interesting

Maybe they don't sell your favorite any more. Do you remember what it was? This was from the GS cookie site.

[elleng]

1. Smores

[debm55]

2. I know- no smores are listed at the GS cookie site

[mucifer]

3. Thin Mints and Raspberry rally are vegan so I choose those

[GP6971]

4. Thin Mints

But they're not as good s they used to be.

[Lithos]

5. Depends on where you live as to what you get

[debm55]

9. Thank you. Lithos

[leftieNanner]

6. Samoas :)

[Bristlecone]

11. Mine too

[lapfog_1]

7. Thin mints... peanut butter sandwich..

and I will try a carmel delight. and maybe a raspberry rally.

but... diabetic... so I will eat 1 cookie from each box and give the rest away.

[hlthe2b]

20. Me too, though I almost always buy the peanut butter (Do Si Dos) because I love peanut butter

with the oatmeal sandwiched around it and find it quite different from anything sold in the grocery store. Many find them too dry, but I think they are great. Thin mints are great too (though less so than I remember), but I have zero self-control with a box of them. The trefoil shortbread cookies are good too. But mostly I buy the peanut butter do si dos.

Oh, and most of the others, I've never tried. I guess I'm an originalist. LOL

[Nittersing]

25. My tastebuds think the do-si-do recipe changed.

I used to eat a full sleeve way too quickly... but now, meh.

[hlthe2b]

26. If you get Girl Scout Cookies baked by ABC Bakers (out of Indiana) then they are different...

My area still gets them from Little Brownie Bakers (out of KY) so that the original names and recipes (supposedly) are retained.

[yellowdogintexas]

36. when I lived in Evansville IN I had friends from IN & KY selling cookies

so we got them from both.

My favorites are the peanut butter patties, shortbreads, and those lovely lemon things. The lemon ones are so good with a cup of tea

[LonePirate]

8. Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs for me

Chocolate and peanut butter will always be a winning combination for me.

[Phentex]

33. Soon to be Dime-a-longs...

because they keep getting smaller and smaller. I know they have made the boxes smaller but the cookies keep shrinking too!

And yes, I know I don't need cookies!

[debm55]

45. Yep, sort of like Reese's cups.

[Laffy Kat]

10. Usually it's Thin Mints.

But having purchased a package of the lemon ones.....OMG! They are bigger than the rest of the GS cookies, too.

Yummers!

[Phentex]

34. the only ones that seem bigger!

They are bigger than the trefoils! I hope they don't change them next year. Our are called Lemon Ups

[Laffy Kat]

40. I know. Everything is shrinking. It is noticeable.

[yellowdogintexas]

37. I love love love those lemon ones!! nt

[doc03]

12. Where are the Samoas? Them and Thin Mints are my favorites nt

[debm55]

13. doc,they may have changed the name, My one time favorite was Dos-Si-Dos--now they call them peanut

butter patties,

[AZSkiffyGeek]

18. It depends where you are in the States

There are two different factories and there are subtle differences between the cookies and sometimes different names depending which factory. I think one is primarily East of the Mississippi and the other is West.

[hlthe2b]

21. If the cookies are baked by Little Brownie Bakeries (as in Colorado) they are STILL Do si Dos

[debm55]

46. I hope so , the Do SI Dos were my very favorite. But when they were discontinued. I went to the

mint.

[GenThePerservering]

14. They got rid of the Lime Coolers

my favourite, and also apparently a big favourite of the Pac NW - one of the distributors told me that we ate most of them (I guess we don't count...well, not enough of us, I guess). They have Savannah Smiles (light lemon cookies) which are good, but frequently are sold out. I don't like any of the others - they've destroyed the shortbread cookies which taste like chemicals when they used to be lovely and rich.

[Ocelot II]

15. None of them are as good as they used to be.

The thin mints are waxy. They used to have a kind called Savannahs, and they were my favorite, but of course they don't make them any more.

[GenThePerservering]

16. Thin mints are waxy

cheap chocolate and not very 'minty' and too sweet. It's too bad - I'm a big Girl Scouts booster, too - used to sell the cookies myself and bought them for years, but I no longer purchase them. If they brought back the Lime Coolers, I would.

[debm55]

47. I agree they aren't the same. I might try the raspberry cookies.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

17. I was the cookie dad for both daughters

I have to buy a box or two when asked by a girl scout.

I like thin mints

[msongs]

19. for fun read the ingredients list nt

[3catwoman3]

44. If you read the ingredients list, you won't...

…want to eat them.

[debm55]

48. I will try to look them up. I hope it's good, but I have a feeling it isn't.

[Rhiannon12866]

22. The ones with caramel and coconut and the peanut butter patties

But please don't bring the thin mints anywhere near me. When I was 10 and selling them myself, I woke up in the middle of the night to be sick. My Dad asked me what was wrong and I told him that I was thinking of the thin mints...

[Phentex]

35. Oh no!

[Rhiannon12866]

39. Just thinking of them now makes my throat close.

I mentioned them to my brother today and he said he feels the same. He said he likes the Trefoils.

[sakabatou]

23. Thin mints, of course

[lark]

24. I can't believe they aren't selling Samoas or Thin Mints!

No GS cookies for us this year.

[debm55]

28. Thin Mints are on the chart of cookies being sold. So you are in luck.

[hlthe2b]

30. THey are in my area (served by Little Brownie Bakers). It may be the other baker, ABC that isn't

see this article: https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/girl-scout-cookies-different-names/

[yellowdogintexas]

38. probably caramel delights in your area nt

[area51]

27. Thin Mints.

[debm55]

49. Mine too, since the Dos-Si -Dos aren't sold here.

[Yavin4]

29. Girl Scouts be like

[ZenDem]

31. I'm the only person I know...

...that truly hates GS cookies.
But, I buy them every year to support the kids of coworkers and then I give them away.

Didn't even like them when I was selling them about 50 years ago and we had to drag around boxes door to door.

[thatcrowwoman]

42. Nowadays some troops set up a cookie booth

Outside a marijuana dispensary. They really sell! 😂
There’s also an option now to pay for a box the girls will donate to folks in the military.

The troops get to decide what to do with their profits. Ours usually voted for camping or a field trip. One year we went to the local iMax theater for a movie about flying. Oy. The girls were great but I flashed a migraine and almost lost my lunch. The planetarium was another favorite field trip. We also went to Gulf Island National Seashore for a program, then did some water sampling. Citizen science was so good for our girls, and their families.

[debm55]

50. We buy them to support the Girl Scouts. But I might try the lemon to have with my tea,

[Phentex]

32. Our lemon ones are called Lemon Ups and they are delicious!...

Basically the Lemon Cooler recipe shaped into a disk and iced on the bottom. 12 in a box.

[thatcrowwoman]

41. Cookie time!

I’ve been told they keep well in the freezer, but not so much at my house. They do taste good cold, though.😉
#1 Thin mints
#2 trefoils (shortbread)
#3 Lemon Ups

My daughter Littlebird used to love what she called Peanutbutter Patatties
Husband Happy Hussein loves the Samoas, aka Carmel Delights

My best friend and I started a troop for our daughters, went from Daisies to Juniors with them. We both taught science and love to be outdoors so we took our troop camping every year. Did you know that you can cook bacon and eggs in a paper bag over the campfire? I’d rather make s’mores, but to each her own.

The troop came to my house to see Littlebird’s flock of chickens and have a sleepover. I asked them to fill up the wheelbarrow with firewood for the stove and one little camper told me, “ it’s just like little house on the prairie!” 😂

Thank you for this little trip in the way back machine, debm55!

your love and service to the girls.

[thatcrowwoman]

55. It was my pleasure. nt

[happybird]

43. Trefoils

and you still get a decent amount in the box.

They used to have a lemon cookie dipped in powdered sugar but don’t carry them any longer. Those suckers were goooood.

[Raine]

52. Definitely Thin Mints. 🙂 nt

[debm55]

56. yep

[Skittles]

53. those little shysters hit me up outside a Kroger

hard to resist such cuteness

I got some toffee and some lemon - good stuff

[debm55]

57. I have never tried the lemon. I might give them a try.

[Skittles]

59. certainly lemony!

[Wolf Frankula]

54. Do they still have the ones made of Real Girl Scouts?

Wolf

[debm55]

58. Wolf, you can look up Girl Scout Cookies 2023, for the list---
