Get Ready Southeast Minnesota: Girl Scout Cookies Are Almost Here

It’s almost here!! That time of year when Girl Scouts start setting up outside your favorite Minnesota stores, ready to sell the cookies we've all been craving for the past year.

You know the scene - bright smiles, stacks of colorful boxes, and the sweet anticipation of indulging in those iconic treats.

The thought of biting into a cool, crisp Thin Mint or indulging in the gooey caramel and coconut of a Samoas is enough to keep cravings alive all year.

Whether you have a soft spot for the buttery simplicity of Trefoils or can’t resist the peanut butter-chocolate combo of a Tagalong, there’s something about these cookies that sparks joy.

Do You Remember These Girl Scout Cookie Flavors?

Can You Remember Your Favorite Girl Scout Cookie growing up?

As much as we enjoy Girl Scout Cookies in 2023, we often miss the ones that we used to love growing up. Have you heard of my personal favorite Girl Scout Cookies that are now retired?

Thanks-A-Lots

Shortbread cookies are always a win. This Girl Scout Cookie was dipped in chocolate and it also had a friendly message on it. It had the words "Thank You" on it.

Ole Oles

These powdered sugar cookies were delicious. They also had pecans and coconut mixed in and were reduced fat.

Lemon Chalet Creme

This was one of my favorite lemon cookies to ever exist. How could a lemon sandwich cookie ever go wrong? The added cinnamon and ginger made it one of a kind.

Juliettes,

I remember that these cookies were named after the founder of The Girl Scouts, Juliette Low. It reminded me of a chocolate turtle with its being covered in caramel, pecans and milk chocolate.

Ra Ra Raisens

This was unlike your ordinary raisin cookie. This Girl Scout Cookie brought in oatmeal and yogurt chips with the raisins.

Savannah Smiles

This Girl Scout Cookie knew how to put a smile on your face. They were lemon wedge cookies with powdered sugar.

Is anyone else drooling? But, it’s not just about the cookies themselves - it’s the nostalgia, the excitement, and the simple pleasure of supporting local scouts while indulging in a treat.

Along with important skills like confidence and relationship building, each package you buy funds their next ambition." - Girl Scouts
