C is for...well, you know.

I got my Girl Scout cookies today.
Peanut butter patties are my fave, though I wish I had ordered some thin mints. I've been in a mood for chocolatey minty things.

So I must ask, what is your favorite Girl Scout cookie?

What's your fave non-girl scout cookie?

R makes chocolate chip cookies that are pretty killer.

But now you have me craving thin mints. Mmm. Those are my fave Girl Scout cookies.

There will likely be scouts everywhere selling cookies soon. I'll have to get some thin mints. Mmmmm.

I hope so. I'm very thin mint-deprived at the moment.

My fav is a toss up between Thin Mints and
those chocolate/coconut thingies.

Least favorite is the shortbread cookies.

BORING!

My brother used to crunch up shortbreads in a bowl and eat them with milk, like cereal.

He was funny like that.

Speaking as some one who is now on a strict diet, I hate you.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, or because I have cookies. ;-]

And why is a serving size of a Swiss Cake Roll 1 roll, but they come in packs of 2?! It's torture, I tell you!

FYI, both hostess and peperidge farm are doing 100 calorie packs now.

Samoas. LOVE love love.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 06:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I had one of those yesterday.
It was very tasty.

[identity profile] sweetmsbehavin.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Samoas here too

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
They seem to be the third most popular.

[identity profile] lickingtoad.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I think it's the Samoa -- the coconut/caramel/chocolate one.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 06:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Yup, I'm familiar.

[identity profile] peteralway.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 07:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Thin Mints--now I have to keep an eye out for girl scouts in the Kroger entryway.

As for non GS cookies, it's clearly the standard Tollhouse chocolate chip cookies (no nuts--the nuts are just to creat sucker-lumps where you are fooled into believing there will be a chip.)

Well, oatmeal chocolate chips rock. And so to peanut butter chocolate chips.

If the Red Cross gave out fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies, I'd do some identity theft just so I could give blood under a false and have cookies twice as often.

That would be the funniest case of identity theft I can think of.

I haven't eaten a Girl Scout cookie since probably 1992. Back then my favorite was that coconut/caramel/chocolate deal... I think they called it a "Samoa" or something back then but then changed the name to something lame because that was not politically correct. How lame. Why are people so touchy? That's what I want to know. It's fucking cookie!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
LOL there have been a lot of changes in GS cookies. When those first came out, they were called S'mores because they had marshmallow in them. Hershey sued the Girl Scouts and made them change the name of the cookie, then later they changed the cookie itself.

I have gone completely dry as far as cookie connections go, which is a shame having been a former Girl Scout myself. I was just lamenting this yesterday, actually, because I'm dying for some Thin Mints and Tagalongs and Do-Si-Dos. I see people above dissing on the Trefoils and I have to say that they have never dipped them in that shitty juice from the grocery store that tastes like melted gummy bears and comes in gallon jugs. Mmmm. It's the only way to go, as far as those were concerned.

Pretty much any cookie is good, come to that. But I've never liked Samoas. I haaaaate coconut.

Scouts tend to congregate in front of grocery stores and banks this time of year. Here's hoping you'll run into some.

I hope I find some too now because I really want thin mints.

We always tried to jump at the cookie booths early and got ones indoors at ends of the mall. Man, oh man does standing in front of a grocery store all day trying to sell cookies to grumpy, cold people suck balls. haha I'd forgotten about the prospect of cookie booths. There is hope!

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I hear you. My mom had me standing in front of a bank one year for hours and hours in the blistering cold. People bought just because they felt bad for me. I won a sweet prize for selling the most cookies.

Thin Mints, natch.
Made with real girl scouts dontcha know?
That's why they come in that Soylent Green box!

My wife makes a multiply chocolate cookie that's astounding. But not made with girl scouts from what I can tell.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Dunno why you'd want to eat any cookie not made from real girl scouts. Unless it's those melba cookies with the cute baby on the package. Those babies look delicious.

[identity profile] leemoyer.livejournal.com 2008-03-05 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
mmmmm, babies.

[identity profile] katharinakatt.livejournal.com 2008-03-06 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
I actually never and will never buy cookies from Girl Scouts.

The girls in girl scouts were always the stuck up "we're better than you" girls in my classes, so I didn't want to have anything to do with them.

Being 'all grown up' now, I still don't want their damn cookies! Also they seemed over priced and the whole thing commercialized.

Sure, let's send little girls out to make us our millions!

Brilliant, but still shady.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-06 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's an interesting take on the whole thing.
They are pretty expensive...I paid 3.50 a box this year. They were 1.25 when I sold them.

Samoa's, Shortbreads, thinmints. My least fav are those lemon ones. I worked at a Girl Scout camp and thats all they fed us because nobody wanted to buy them. Blah.

So I have a healthy little hit. Pria 110 makes a protein bar that slightly reminds me of the Girl scout thin mints. It's a chocolate covered mint bar that is 110 calories. Makes for a good snack and makes me feel good because I'm getting the protein in. DO NOT buy the peanut butter ones... I repeat do NOT buy the pb ones. They taste like vitamins.

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-06 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, those lemon cookies are rank.

I've been eating the York 100 pack cookies, they are pretty good but lack protein.

1. Samoas

2. Um... that's a tough one. Freshly baked (and maybe just slightly underdone) chocolate chip, perhaps?

[identity profile] wednes.livejournal.com 2008-03-06 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I like my homeade cookies on the soft side as well.
