I was thinking the other day about Girl Scout cookies and how much I'd really love to eat some (and by some, I mean several boxes). I did something that only a real Girl Scout cookie lover would do and googled "how to order Girl Scout cookies online". Turns out - you can't. If you don't have access to a real live Girl Scout, you can't have any cookies. SO sad, I know. (And in my opinion this is a really stupid decision. These Girl Scouts are missing out on an entire market of the cookie selling business and could be racking up tons of dough. I mean think about it: a cookie that's only available seasonally and that everyone loves, is a high commodity... but I digress)
After all this googling, reflecting on poor business decisions, and calling my mom to see if she knew any Girl Scouts who could hook me up, I had a fabulous idea ... I'll make myself some Girl Scout Cookies!
I'm going to test out one of the above cookies in my kitchen and then report back so that you can all make your own Girl Scout cookies & impresses someone with your awesome baking skills.
So the question is:
WHICH COOKIE SHOULD I BAKE?!
1. Samoas
2. Tagalongs
3. Thin Mints
Leave a comment letting me know your preference.
If one of the above three isn't your favorite Girl Scout cookie - I would get your taste buds checked out immediately. Okay fine, maybe an argument can be made for the shortbreads, simple sugar and buttery goodness - but I draw the line there. Everyone knows these are the best options.
I'll tally up the answers this weekend and get to work!
Definitely make samoas! MY FAVE :-) And someone at my office is selling them for her daughter - i'm screwed.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of thin mints and tagalongs! I actually tried a recipe for thin mints, but it didn't work out so well. Mainly that's because I cut them to think so they were like nugget mints! But those are my favorites :) And I'm with you, I'm definitely in the girl scout cookie mode!
ReplyDeletesooo lame they dont sell GS cookies online! we have a GS mom in our office so i've already ordered my samosas + peanut butter tag alongs.. i think you should try making the samosas! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteThese are definitely the top 3 of all Girl Scout Cookies- my favorite are the Samoas! :) Thank goodness my 11 year old sister still sells them- I stock up for the whole year!
ReplyDeleteMy vote is for samoas (it's 8 am and I kinda want one right now!)... but I'd love to hear about recipes for all of them. You're right, these are definitely the best three kinds!
ReplyDeleteomg - i thought this was going to be important. i say you do tagalongs then send me some.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love this! I vote for baking the Samoas - my all time fave!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree! I have always thought that they should sell GS cookies online all year long. Think of all the money they could make to support their organization...and all the happy people that would benefit from eating cookies. My favorites are Samoas :)

Love this idea... and now all I'm thinking about is where I can find a girl scout in Chicago?! I vote Tagalongs!
ReplyDeletei'm going to go with the samoas..although i wouldn't complain if you made some thin mints other. love them both!
ReplyDeleteI say ALL!!! And shortbread's, too! My list is EXACTLY the same as yours.....we should have a cookie making gathering - I need to learn your baking skill, and I am available anytime! :)
ReplyDeleteSAMOAS! They are still Caramel Delights in my book. I used to be a Girl Scout and I sold the most cookies every year. It was a sense of satisfaction/a popularity contest.
ReplyDeletePlease make some! I cant find any in NYC!
love the blog, xo

definitely the samoas. soo good!
ReplyDeleteI hope it turns out! My favorite is thin mints, so that's what I would go with.
ReplyDeleteYou can go to your local Girl Scout Headquarters and pick up some cookies there!
ReplyDeleteYou asked the wrong girl...all three are to die for! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try making some myself!
Samoas!! My fav, by far. Now I'm craving them... must.find.Girl.Scout.
ReplyDeleteWell, Samoas are my favorite but thin mints seem like they might be easier, so it depends. Are you up for a challenge? Can't wait to see how they turn out!
ReplyDeleteSamoas!!! PLEASE! And then make them again in March for a cookie celebration after the Shamrock Shuffle ;)
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one that grew up with different names for these?! Samoas = caramel delights (very fitting because they are seriously delightful and my vote is 110% for them) and then tagalongs = peanut butter patties (very straightforward). Cannot wait to see a recipe! xo
ReplyDeleteThin mints were always my favourite and they still are! Yo should totally bake some. I've never even seen some of these breeds of GG cookies! Thanks for sharingz,

Don't hate on the trefoils, lara! Maybe the tagalongs if these are really my only options...
ReplyDeleteI literally just ordered 3 boxes of GS cookies from a co-worker (+ 1 for the military), and chose one box of each of these. Want me to order you some? :)
