As spring quickly approaches, the season of Girl Scout cookies is just around the corner. These beloved cookies are known for their delicious taste and unique flavors. Although companies have tried to replicate these cookies, nothing compares to the deliciousness of Girl Scout cookies.
Below is a ranking of the top 5 cookies, and what makes each sweet treat wildly delectable.
- Thin Mints
Thin mints are a classic favorite that make for a great treat. These cookies include a crunchy inside, and have a delectable mint flavoring. On the outside, the crunchy base is coated with a smooth chocolate. These cookies are unique because they are also great frozen and hold up well over time. Additionally, crushed Thin Mints serve as a great topping for ice cream, cakes, and more.
- Samoa’s
Samoa cookies, also known as Caramel deLites, are a popular Girl Scout cookie featuring a rich combination of caramel, toasted coconut, and chocolate. These indulgent treats have a crisp shortbread base coated in chewy caramel, sprinkled with coconut, and drizzled with dark chocolate for a perfect balance of sweetness and texture.
- Tagalongs
These cookies have been around for a while, and have earned their title as an “original.” If you are a fan of peanut butter and chocolate these cookies are for you. The base of the cookie contains peanut butter shortbread, that is then dipped and covered with milk chocolate. Like Thin Mints, these cookies are delicious frozen or used as a topper.
- Adventurefuls
These crispy, chewy treats offer a perfect blend of sweet and salty, making them a delicious addition to the iconic Girl Scout cookie lineup! Adventurefuls are brownie-inspired Girl Scout cookies with a caramel-flavored crème center, a hint of sea salt, and a rich chocolatey drizzle.
- Lemon-Ups
Lemon-Ups are a new and improved cookie that replaced Savannah Smiles. These cookies are flatter, and therefore crispy. Like most Girl Scout cookies, they are baked with shortbread but include a sweet lemon glaze. However, these cookies include an added touch as they include an inspirational message such as “I am a Leader” or “I am Bold.”
There’s no doubt that Girl Scout Cookies are a spring-time favorite. As the season quickly approaches, make sure to look out for your local Girl-Scouts selling cookies. Buying cookies not only supports these troops, but also fills your stomach with sugar and sweetness.
