We Tried Every Girl Scout Cookie--This One Is the Best

Right now, swarms of future boss-ladies-in-training are putting on their patch-covered vests to sell Girl Scout Cookies wherever they can (particularly outside grocery stores), presenting you with a big choice to make: Which sweet treat do you go for?

Collectively, Girl Scouts sell more than 200 million boxes of cookies a year, and everyone has a favorite. According to Girl Scouts of the USA, Thin Mints are the top-selling cookie, followed in descending sales order by Caramel deLites/Samoas, Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos/Peanut Butter Sandwiches, and Trefoils/Shortbread.

But, which Girl Scout cookie really does taste the best? We decided to find out by testing every single one.

It's important to note here that Girl Scout cookies are made by two different licensed bakers: ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers. Each baker may have a slightly different recipe for each cookie and may also call their products different names (hence, Caramel deLites or Samoas). The cookies you buy depend on what baker your local troop sources its cookies from (you can find this information right on the package near the nutrition label).

Aint really cared since, that cookie should have been year round in stores and paid all their bills!

I still miss it, and it's been over 30 years since I had one?

10. The Lemonades or Lemon Ups, depending on where you live, are similar.

The shortbread either looks like a lemon slice, or it has an inspirational message on it. And then it has a lemon icing on it. So good.

I remember hauling my red wagon around the neighborhood selling them. Of course, I buy the others too. I always buy a box or two from the scouts outside grocery stores.
