Girl Scouts Are Taking Cookie Orders Online—and You Can Donate a Box, Too
Updated: Apr. 03, 2020
We'll take 10 boxes of Thin Mints. (It's for a good cause!)
It’s our favorite time of the year: Girl Scout cookie season! OK, it might not be a real season, but we always look forward to it. Unfortunately, Girl Scout cookie season was cut short this year, and many girls and councils haven’t been able to sell their inventory due to social distancing. Knowing that there are lots of cookies to go around, the Girl Scouts have announced a new program that lets you order online and have cookies shipped directly to your home.
Think you can guess the most beloved Girl Scout cookie in America?
How to Order Girl Scout Cookies Right Now
While the organization has suspended in-person events like Girl Scout Cookie booths to keep girls safe, you can still score your favorite cookies through Girl Scouts Cookie Care. It’s a new program that lets you order cookies online from the comfort of home. Then, they’ll be delivered right to your doorstep. We can’t wait to get our hands on a box of the new tart and crispy Lemon-Ups!
Just a heads up, shipping and handling on orders of 1-12 packages is $12.
How Donate a Box to Local Causes
Through the Girl Scouts Cookie Care program, you can also donate cookies to first responders, volunteers and other local causes. Just choose the “Cookie Share” option to donate to a charitable organization chosen by your Girl Scout troop. 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!
Inspired by Thin Mints
We all know it to be true: Thin Mints are the queen of all Girl Scout cookies. These crisp chocolate cookies are dipped in a minty chocolate coating, just like their scouting cousins.
Inspired by Trefoils and Shortbread Cookies
Depending where you live, these simple shortbread cookies might be called Trefoils and stamped in the shape of the Girl Scout logo. No matter where you call home, though, these shortbread snacks are super tasty (especially dipped in a cup of coffee!).
Inspired by Tagalongs and Peanut Butter Patties
A cookie as good as a Tagalong must be hard to replicate at home, right? Not quite! Using crackers and a smooth chocolate coating, you can get close to the real thing when your cookie stash is low.
Inspired by Lemonades
These lightly flavored shortbread cookies are topped with a citrusy glaze, just like their scouting counterparts.
Inspired by Do-Si-Dos and Peanut Butter Sandwiches
Another cookie with two names! These classic cookies are packed with peanut butter flavor – in the cookie and in the filling.
Inspired by S'mores Cookies
Girl 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 Trios
Trio cookies are made with three cookie favorites: oatmeal, chocolate chips and peanut butter. You can make your own version at home with this sweet recipe.
Inspired by Thanks-A-Lot Cookies
The classic Girl Scout shortbread is delicious, but this version is just a bit sweeter and – better yet – dipped in chocolate like these hearts.
Inspired by Toffee-Tastic Cookies
A new addition to the Girl Scout offering is a toffee-packed biscuit. Our version is a bit different – it includes almonds for extra crunch.
