My favorite Girl Scout Cookies

My favorite Girl Scout cookies are Thin Mints.  I place them into the freezer and later when I take some out to eat, they are very cool.  If I were to only buy 1 box then this is what I would choose.

The shortbread cookies are my second favorite Girl Scout cookie variety.  I decided to try some of the Thanks A Lot cookies which are shortbread but have a layer of chocolate at the bottom.  They were pretty good as I expected them to be.

My third most favorite is the Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies.  These can be sort of dry sometimes, so I tend to only eat one or two at a time, and that’s a good thing.

I’d place the Peanut Butter Patties as my fourth favorite.  I wrote about them in this post.

I normally pass on sweets in favor of having more protein or skipping the extra calories, but Girl Scout cookies are an exception to my rule.  These flavorful combinations of chocolate and peanut butter are delicious as a between meals snack, an after meal desert, or with your coffee in the morning as a nutritionally questionable breakfast.

If you like Reese’s Cups, you will like these.  The chocolate on these is a little darker in color, and there’s a cookie base, but otherwise the taste is very similar.  Unlike the Thin Mint cookies which I place in the freezer, I consumed these at room temperature.  I feel good about helping the Girl Scouts raise funds, while also feeling bad for eating a whole box in less than 24 hours.  Isn’t that how it’s supposed to be with these?
