Updated on Mar. 04, 2022
It’s our favorite time of year: Girl Scout Cookie season! OK, it might not be a real season, but we always look forward to it. Since we’re still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, ordering and delivery will look a little different this year. Here’s what you need to know.
Think you can guess the most beloved Girl Scout cookie in America?
How to Order Girl Scout Cookies Right Now
From contact-free cookie booths to online ordering, the Girl Scouts are offering plenty of ways to ensure you’ll get your Thin Mints fix (or try out the newest cookies, Toast-Yays and Adventurefuls). Here are your options:
- Reach out to your favorite Girl Scout. Troops everywhere are running virtual and contact-free cookie sales events. You can pick up boxes face-to-face or sign up for delivery when you order.
- Order online. If you don’t know a Girl Scout, you can visit the Girl Scouts website, text COOKIES to 59618, or download the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app to get hooked up.
Have you noticed that some troops sell Samoas and others sell Caramel deLites? This is why Girl Scout Cookies have different names.
How Donate a Box to Local Causes
You can also donate to a charitable organization chosen by your Girl Scout troop. Check out the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app for details.
Whether you decide to purchase cookies for yourself or donate to those working on the front lines, your purchase will allow Girl Scouts to continue to perform their mission. We love to buy cookies for a good cause!
If you don’t make it to the sale, you can always try Aldi’s cookie copycats or make your own Girl Scout Cookie copycats all year round.
Inspired by: Caramel DeLites (aka Samoas)Coconut lovers, this one's for you. These copycat Girl Scout cookies are the ultimate indulgence. While they take some time to make, trust us—they're worth the wait.
Psst! If you want the real deal, here's how to order Girl Scout cookies.
Inspired by: Thin MintsWe all know it to be true: Thin Mints are the queen of all Girl Scout cookies. These crisp chocolate cookies are dipped in a to-die-for chocolate coating. Try them straight out of the fridge or freezer for a cool, minty treat.
Were you looking for the perfect copycat Samoas? Girl Scout Cookie season only happens once a year, but we found year-round dupes that stack up pretty well against the originals.
Inspired by: LemonadesThese lightly flavored shortbread cookies are topped with a citrusy glaze, just like their scouting counterparts.
Inspired by: Peanut Butter Patties (aka Tagalongs)A cookie as good as a Tagalong must be hard to replicate at home, right? Not quite! Using homemade cookies and a smooth chocolate coating, you can get close to the real thing when your cookie stash is low.
Dipped Peanut Butter Sandwich CookiesYou’ll love to give tins of these chocolate-coated cookies to your lucky friends. The shortcut holiday recipe is almost too simple to believe! Here's how to make peanut butter cookies without eggs. —Jackie Howell, Gordo, Alabama
Inspired by: Shortbread (aka Trefoils)While they're not shaped like the iconic Girl Scout logo, these shortbread snacks are super tasty. Try them with a cup of coffee for an afternoon pick-me-up.
Inspired by: Girl Scout S'moresGirl Scouts first published the recipe for the original s'more all the way back in the '20s. Today, they reinvented the campfire snack as an anytime cookie much like these. For an authentic s'mores experience,
swap the cookie butter for a chocolatey spread.
Inspired by: Lemon-UpsThe Girl Scouts have two lemony cookies in their roster. The Lemon-Ups are nice and crisp, and they come stamped with an inspiring message. This copycat cookie recipe tastes pretty close, but with the subtle addition of orange, too.
Inspired by: AdventurefulsOne of the newest Girl Scout cookies, Adventurefuls pack caramel creme into a brownie-flavored dough. For an authentic copycat recipe, skip the nuts on these chocolate caramel thumbprints and sub in a sprinkle of sea salt.
Inspired by: Toast-Yay!We love fueling up with French toast before a big day, and these copycat Girl Scout cookies are full of that sweet, cinnamon-y flavor.
Bonus: Original Girl Scout CookiesTo commemorate the 60th anniversary of the first nationwide sale, the Girl Scouts shared the original sugar cookie recipe used when the troops made their own cookies.
