Once again it is that time of year, when grocery store exits are overflowed with nine year old girls. Dressed in green and full of smiles, the girls have one mission; get every shopper to buy Girl Scout cookies. It is a perfect marketing ploy, because who can say no to a nine year old girl, let alone cookies?
Personally, Samoas are my downfall. There is no other girl scout cookie that compares. Filled with caramel, chocolate, and coconut, every bite is full of flavor. Not to mention, the center is cut out, which means they fit perfectly around your fingers when you are holding multiple in one hand. As a kid, I always took as many Samoas that could fit around my fingers, playing with the cookies as they disappeared too fast.
Thin Mints and Tagalongs come in second. Both are distinct in flavor, something very important in a Girl Scout Cookie. Thin Mints are full of chocolate, and have that burst of cool freshness in your mouth. While Tagalongs taste like your all American sugar cookie. Regardless which cookie I eat, it is impossible every year for me to not buy at least 10 boxes of all my favorites. Now if only they sold cookies year round!
