Time for Girl Scout Cookies, Part 3
Thursday, January 21st, 2016 -- 12:17 PM
-For many people, one of the best times of year is hear again.Girl Scouts will begin selling their cookies this Friday. I spoke with Melissa Loest, Communications Coordinator with Girl Scouts, about the Girl Scout Cookie Program. Melissa talked about all the delicious cookie flavors.
Melissa: "Everyone's favorite cookie is coming back. We will have, of course, the Thin Mint, which kind of dukes it out every year to be the number one cookie in America up against the Oreo believe it or not. The Oreo that's available 12 months a year, 365 days a year, but that Thin Mint does battle it out to be the number one cookie in America."
"We'll also have the Caramel Delights, the Peanut Butter Patties, the Peanut Butter Sandwiches, we'll have Shortbread, Lemonaids, Thanks-a-Lot and Cranberry Citrus Crisp. Last year our new cookie was the Gluten Free Trio, which we are bringing back and that cookie is delicious. It is, of course, gluten free and it is an oatmeal cookie that is brought together with peanut butter and chocolate chips and that is back as well, but just during the direct sale portion of the Girl Scout Program, which we like to call cookie booths."
Coming up on Friday, Melissa will explain where the profits from the cookie sale go.
