What’s your favorite Girl Scout cookie?
It’s that time of year again – Girl Scouts are tallying up those cookie orders faster than we can eat them. It all started in 1917 with a troop in Oklahoma selling home baked cookies. In the 20’s a simple sugar cookie recipe took hold nationally for the scouts to bake and sell themselves. These days it’s big business – and it’s estimated that about 200 million boxes are sold each year. With 11 varieties to choose from now – the top sellers are Samoas and Thin Mints, followed by Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos and Trefoils.
