Girl Scout Cookie Descriptions

Caramel deLites®




Homemade caramel cooked to a rich creamy consistency and a special toasted flaked coconut from Bakers®, the leading coconut supplier in the United States, make ABC's Caramel deLites® the second best-selling Girl Scout Cookie and place it in the top five of cookies sold in the United States annually. Caramel is an extremely popular flavor in U.S., especially in the South. ABC has always made our own. Our tender vanilla-flavored base cake is literally bathed in a waterfall of creamy caramel. Then it is coated with coconut cut to ABC's specifications. Homemade chocolaty icing stripes the top of the cookie and completely covers the bottom to give it a finish that is irresistible.

 

Peanut Butter Patties®




When it comes to peanut butter cookies, ABC knows best. Imitated but never duplicated, Peanut Butter Patties® have been in ABC's Girl Scout Cookie line for over 30 years. They are truly a peanut butter and chocolate lover's delight. We use only the finest #1 grade whole peanuts, roasted to perfection. We start with a tender, vanilla-flavored base cake and add a plump dollop of fresh, homemade peanut butter on top. Then we bath it in rich fudge. It's no wonder that Peanut Butter Patties® are the third best-selling Girl Scout Cookie and are among the top 10 best-selling cookies in America. They are better than a Reese's® Cup!

 

Shortbread®




This is the cookie that started it all. ABC's Shortbread Cookie is an authentic English-style shortbread. Our formula was adapted from a recipe given to us by one of our sister biscuit and cracker manufacturers in England. The recipe was hand-carried from Europe to our bakery in the United States years ago. If you prefer the simple goodness of a basic, buttery cookie, you won't find one any better than this. ABC Shortbread Cookies are relatively low in sugar, containing only four grams per serving. They are also relatively low in saturated fat, having only two grams per serving. A cup of hot tea and a tender Shortbread make for a delicious snack. Like to cook? Our Shortbread cookies are also great for making piecrusts, dessert toppings or banana pudding!

 

Thin Mints®




We understand that it takes the perfect balance of mint-flavored chocolate icing over a tender, melt-in-your-mouth, chocolate cookie to create the taste sensation America knows and loves as Thin Mints! Girl Scouts can be proud that this item is not only the top-selling Girl Scout Cookie, but also one of the top selling cookies in America, along with Oreos® and Chips Ahoy®! And it is only sold for a limited time each year. It truly is the quintessential Girl Scout Cookie. What is the secret to its great taste? It is in the coating. Dark chocolaty icing with just the right amount of pure oil of peppermint. We dip each chocolate wafer in rich minty coating to give this top seller a sensationally fresh burst of mint flavor. The sales tell the story! There is nothing like the clean, cool refreshing taste of Thin Mints.

 

Peanut Butter Sandwich®




Peanut Butter Sandwiches are another favorite of Girl Scout Cookie fans. In addition to the nutty fresh flavor of its homemade peanut butter filling, ABC uses crunchy oats in the base cake mix. Cookie connoisseurs are assured of a unique taste that is both creamy and crunchy at the same time! Sandwich-style cookies are the top-selling variety in retail. It is no wonder that this tasty Girl Scout Cookie is also ranked in the top 10 of cookies sold in America each year. A serving size of three cookies with their creamy, smooth fresh roasted flavor goes great with a frosty cold glass of milk!
