Giveaway – Enter to Win 4 Boxes of Girl Scout Cookies From Mavis

By Mavis Butterfield on -

Let’s start Thursday off with a giveaway… shall we?

Yesterday I was finally able to track down a Girl Scout Troop with cookies!!! I don’t know about you, but I LOVE Girl Scout cookies and this year, I didn’t see a single booth outside a grocery store {before all the craziness started of course} so I wasn’t able to buy any. But perseverance paid off and after contacting a local troop, I was able to snag their last boxes of cookies so I could send a few to Monkey Boy {and eat a few} and give some away to YOU! 🙂

I was a Girl Scout. I sold cookies, proudly wore my badge-filled sash and even had the most awesome time ever when I attended Girl Scout Camp during my middle school years.  I was a tween and it was the. best.summer of my life. I learned to sail, used an outhouse, got my head checked for lice, made tiki torches out of Kotex pads {it’s a lost skill I tell you}, made arts and crafts, slept in a cabin with no doors, and sang some really cool camp songs that I still remember to this day. It was the seriously the best summer ever!

So in honor of my Girl Scout heritage, one lucky reader will win 4 boxes of Girl Scout cookies.

  • 1 Box Thin Mints
  • 1 Box Peanut Butter Patties
  • 1 Box Lemonades {my new favorite!}
  • 1 Box Caramel Delights

    “If the prize is not claimed within 48 hours, the prize will be forfeited and I will eat your cookies.” We were warned.
    I’d have to say the two cookies that tie for my favorite are white chocolate chunk (no macadamia nuts necessary) and HOT chocolate chip! Has to be piping hot, right out of the oven.

    • Amanda E. says

      Butter shortbread cookies made with cornstarch. They just melt in your mouth and are equal parts decadence and comfort. Hmm…I may have to go make some now…

    • Beth L McLain says

      All time favorite cookie in the world has to be Girl Scout Samoa’s! Love them!

    • Brenda M says

      My absolute favorites are Cowboy cookies…or aka everything but the kitchen sink cookies

    • Joann says

      I was also a girl scout for over 12 years. Peanut Butter Patties are my favorite. I remember camp with fond memories I went every chance I got and selling cookies was my ticket to camp over 4 years.

  2. Gina says

    My all time favorite cookie has always been thin mint cookies from the girl scouts. I haven’t had any in years!

  3. Carol Matthews says

    These are my 4 favorite Girl Scout cookies!

    Gramma’s Snickerdoodles!! And gingersnaps which I make with freshly grated ginger!! De-lish!! Thanks for the cookie giveaway and supporting your local Girl Scouts!!

  7. Jason says

    My favorite Girl Scout cookie is the Thin Mint. However, my favorite cookie of all-time is an original recipe of my wife’s, that we enjoy at the Holidays, called a Coastal Christmas Cookie that is a coconut cookie with white chocolate chunks, dried pineapple, dried cherries and macadamia nuts.

  8. Sue says

    I was a Girl Scout leader, did all those things. Great times!
    I love the Caramel Delights.

  10. Lisa says

    My favorite cookie is a soft peanut butter cookie. Now that you have brought it up I may have to make a batch tonight 🙂

  12. Coleen says

    Good morning! My favorite cookie would have to be homemade choc chip cookies with walnuts.

  14. Sue says

    My all-time favourite cookie is a chocolate chip cookie, preferably within 5 minutes of being taken out of the oven.

  16. Kati A. says

    You picked really good kinds! Yummy! My favorite cookies are thin mints… frozen of course! Happy Thursday!

  17. Teresa Parish says

    My favorite cookie – homemade chocolate chip made with chocolate chunks instead!!!
    Ohhhhh!!! Favorite Girl Scout cookie – any of them!

  18. Phyllis says

    I love butter cookies. They are so good dipped in a cup of tea or coffee. In the summer I dip them in my ice tea.

    • Susan says

      My favorite Girl Scout cookie is Thin Mint. My favorite cookie in general is a Christmas cookie called cinnamon star. It’s German (“Zimtstern”), a cinnamon cookie with powdered sugar on top. Yummmm . Thank you for the giveaway!

  19. Jill A says

    My favorite cookie is probably chocolate chip. My favorite girl scout cookie is Samoa but I love them all. Thanks.

  20. Virginia says

    I do love a good molasses cookie, but I’m dying to try those Lemonades. Never heard of them before. My son loves citrus flavored sweets, and I do too!

  21. Robin in WI says

    I did one year of Brownies and still remember a weird song about a baby bumblebee. 🙂 I thought about all the cookies I’ve eaten over five decades and decided my favorite is the basic chocolate chip, either the Nestle Tollhouse recipe or from a 1970s Betty Crocker cookbook my mom had (which is mine now).

  23. Debi says

    My all time favorite cookies are Peanut aButter cookies. Peanut Butter ANYTHING.

    Munch, munch!

  24. RBH Hill says

    I enjoy a warm out of the oven chocolate chip cookie with pecans and carmel. Add in a little vanilla ice cream and I’m in heaven.

  26. Cherilyn P says

    I enjoy so many kinds of cookies, my latest favorite is oatmeal chocolate chunk. Whenever I run into a Girl Scout booth I’m sure to snag a few boxes of the Caramel Delites and Thin Mints!

    • Nancy says

      Hi! Pepperidge Farm Milano Cookies. Because I used to buy a package for our hotel room as a treat when used to go on short trips. I miss those days!! Seems like such a long time ago but it’s not.

  30. Tammy apollo says

    Carmel delight. Thks for your awesome giveaways. You are one of my favorite blogs and I make sure to read you daily.

  32. Krissy Miller says

    My favorite Girl Scout cookie is most definitely Thin Mints, but my all time most favorite cookies are soft while chocolate and macadamia nut. Yummmm, so good I could eat 12!!!

  34. Sharon says

    I would eat any that people would bring to work, BUT only purchase THIN MINTS. Thanks.

  36. Jessica says

    I LOVE thin mints so much! My favorite non girl scout cookie has to be double chocolate chip. Yum! Then you do much for the giveaway. I have all my fingers and toes crossed.

  37. Julya Brown says

    Thank You for such a fun opportunity I have such fond memories of being a Girl Scout too – and when I first sold cookies back in the ‘70’s they were 50 cents a box! However my all time favorite cookie is a ginger snap … I know I’m a weirdo!

  38. Leah says

    What a fun giveaway. It is so hard to choose one kind now that I’m thinking about cookies! Soft and chewy white chocolate macadamia nut have always been a top choice for me.

  39. Laurie says

    My favorite is sour cream cookies. I have my late Gram Emily’s Recipe that her mother gave her! Love your blog!

  40. Paula in the Blue Ridge Mountains says

    I love Snow Balls. My mom always made them at Christmas, They are also callled Mexican Weddining Cookies. I love, love, love them!!

  42. Erin says

    Meyer lemon cookies with cardamom! It’s a recipe on your blog that I make for my family once a year when the meyer lemons show up in our stores. They last only hours. I never make more…its something to look forward to and a special indulgence.

  46. Kay Bowles says

    Thin mints straight from the freezer! This will really date me….but I remember selling girl scout cookies when they were 35 cents a box! Hard to believe, I know…but that was back in the 50’s.

  49. Cathy Lynch says

    LOL, you must have gone to Girl Scout camp Camp Lyle Mc Cloud
    By hood canal
    I remember the Kotex torch , thank you for the smile
    Double chocolate chip cookie

  51. Amy B says

    I love oatmeal chocolate chip cookies made with oat flour and lots of sea salt! Samoas are my fave girl scout cookie

  52. Jennifer Parsons says

    It’s a Doubletree Hotel cookie knockoff with loads of chocolate chips, nuts (I toast mine) and ground oatmeal for part of the flour. They have to be either hot out of the oven or cold in refrigerator.

  53. Erica says

    I haven’t met a cookie I don’t like. In highschool, they had a giant peanut butter cookie. I don’t know how they did it. It was about 6 inches across, but the whole thing was perfectly even, soft but not under baked without burning the edges. I’m always chasing that peanut butter cookie high.

  55. Joanne Beaulieu says

    I love peanut butter cookies !! I bet those lemonade cookies are tasty !! Thank you for the giveaway.

  57. Kari says

    This is a tough decision, but I think it’s a three-way tie between Peanut Butter, Chocolate Chip, and Molasses. I don’t know if I’ve met a cookie I didn’t like, however.

  59. suzanne says

    Oatmeal chocolate chip. I gained 5 lbs the last time the girl scouts where in front of the local market.

  62. JULI Johnson says

    Thin mints!
    But I love anything lemon so Lemonade May be my new favorite!

    (Had to comment again as my email address went in incorrectly)

  63. Anne says

    Mine is a homemade molasses cookie that has raisins in it and granulated sugar on the outside. Has to be chewy. I make them at Christmas time.

    • Dianne says

      Anne, My grandma use to make home-made molasses cookies with raisins and rolled in sugar. I do not have her recipe and have never found any molasses cookie recipe that called for raisins and sugar. Could you post your recipe here?

  64. Karen J. says

    Chocolate chip cookies, the Nestle Toll House recipe… must be made with butter, not shortening. Bet I have all the ingredients here in the house….

  69. Cathrin Morgan says

    My favorite cookie is Lorna Doone but when it comes to Girl Scout cookies its thin mints and tagalongs

  70. Suzy says

    I love a frosted sugar cookie, but I only make them at Christmas….which is probably for the best!

  72. Mary says

    My favorite is peanut butter patties Sadly I didn’t get the box I ordered from one of my sweet kindergarteners who is a brownie because school is closed for face to face instructions for the year

  73. Pauletta says

    I love jam thumbprints. I was also a girl scout. Had the best time with my group. I still carry my girlscout pocket knife in my purse. It probably classifies as an antique now. LOL

  75. Jennifer says

    My favorite is the traditional no bake cookie, but I leave the cocoa out so it becomes a peanut butter one. I’m probably the only person here who doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies in any form.

  79. Stacie H says

    My favorite cookie is the Pan Bang Chocolate Chip cookie recipe. I could seriously eat the whole batch!

  80. Jen G in CA says

    Gah! So many great cookies in the world. I guess chocolate chip cookies made with coconut oil, for coconut flavor are my faves. But I could easily gobble down ginger sandwich cookies with lemon filling that we buy at the grocery store.

  83. Andrea says

    My favorite cookie is peanut butter. But I never make them because I haven’t found a recipe as good as my local bakery’s.

  84. Kim says

    My favorite cookie of all time is chocolate chip and my favorite girl scout cookie is the peanut butter patties. Have you had the girl scout cookie ice cream? They sell it this time of year and it is really good (and addictive)! Such good memories as a girl scout! Thank you!

  85. Kaia says

    I would have to say peanut butter cup cookies! They are made with peanut butter cookie dough in a mini muffin tin, and then a mini pb cup pressed in the middle. If you haven’t made them, you should! Yum!

  89. Tracy says

    Oatmeal, peanut butter, chocolate chip, it’s the best of three different cookies in one and it’s delicious! Thanks for the giveaway Mavis, it’s a light spot in a crazy world.

  91. Kelli says

    My grandma always brought Choco-Taffy Chewies to all our family functions. It’s a molasses cookie, with rolled oats and chocolate chips and I love it! My family does not care for molasses so I don’t make them as often as I would like but when I do, the memories of my grandma are with me.

  92. Deanna says

    Love all the Girl Scout cookies and, with summer coming, the LEMONADES have me dreaming of iced tea and cookies on the patio! They are my absolute favorite cookie!

  94. Harmony Ferrill says

    At home, chocolate chip! From a box, thin mints or golden Oreos ❤️❤️❤️

  97. Jeannine says

    My sister-in-law’s frosted sugar cookies. Not overly sweet. Best ever. She’s also the best ever sister-in-law.

  98. joy gish says

    I remember the girl scot cookies being called tagalong-choc peanut butter-those are my all time favorite.
    Any other cookie comes in 2nd.

  99. Karen says

    I was a Brownie, Girl Scout, Junior Scout and Senior Scout. I sold LOTS of cookies but my favorite has always been Thin Mints. Thanks for honoring the Girl Scouts!

  102. Wendy Lato says

    Thin mint girl Scout cookies rule here. I do make killer chocolate chip cookies also. I am a fellow Girl Scout from Washington. I even convinced my brother to help sell my cookies. Good memories. Thanks for sharing your treasure find of cookies with us.

  104. Kim T says

    Molasses cookies – warm with a hot cup of coffee!!! And I am the only one who likes them in my house so the whole batch is mine!! LOL
    Favorite Girl Scout cookies – Samoas!!!

  105. Natasha says

    Does any type of cookie dough count? For baked cookies my favourites are soft ginger sparkles or loaded chocolate chip. So good! And now I think I need to make cookies (again) today.

  106. Dianne says

    Nom Nom, Cookie, Cookie, Cookie – I love all cookies! I would have to say anything lemon is #2. My favorite are macaroons!!! Yum!

    I was a Girl Scout and a Leader when my daughters were young! Do you know you actually have to attend about 12 hours of training before you can become a leader? At least you did back then. I even volunteered to be Cookie Mom one year, wow what a lot of work! I, too was unable to find cookies this year. I usually buy enough to send to my daughters on the West coast.

  109. Teresa says

    I was a Girl Scout too…and now I’m the Mom of an Eagle Scout…I loved my time as a Girl Scout…and camp was just as much fun as you said it was…

    …my favorite GS cookie is Thin Mint…

    ~Have a lovely day!

  110. Diane Pushard says

    If I have to make a choice, oatmeal raisin. But there’s no such thing as a bad cookie.

  113. Janet in Woodway, WA says

    Samoas!
    I also was a Girl Scout for many years and have great memories of summers at camp! I love Girl Scouts!
    (Oatmeal raisin would be my favorite homemade cookie)

  114. Brenda says

    Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite cookie is oatmeal raisin. My favorite girl scout cookie has always been thin mint!

  116. Debby Timson says

    Girl Scout Thin Mints are by far the best. I buy several cases and freeze them to last all year. Love to crumble them and mix in vanilla ice cream. I am an adult volunteer with GS, so I always have a connection to my favorite cookies.

  117. Rebecca says

    Chocolate chocolate chip are my favorite cookie. Cookies are my ultimate favorite treat.

  118. Karen says

    I think my favorite would be a chewy oatmeal raisin cookie. But…what you are listing are all my absolute favorite Girl Scout cookies! I have tried being good and donating money and not buying cookies as I have lost # 135 pounds and do not need the temptation. That said, I think I need a treat right now and then would love to treat some friends and neighbors with some cookies!

  119. Chyrl says

    Sand tarts dusted with powdered sugar are my favorite with iced cut-out sugar cookies a close second!
    Had an awesome leader in senior Girl Scouts who took us backpacking, primitive camping and canoeing. It was a blast!

  120. Lora Rosencrans says

    I was Girl Scout, too. Loved going to camp. Favorite cookie? I guess I’d pick thin mints

  123. Jill says

    Tough question to answer but I’d have to go with an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie eaten a few minutes after coming out of the oven. Love the gooey chocolate goodness!

  124. Charlotte says

    My favorite cookie is a homemade snickerdoodle. As far as Girl Scout cookies..thin mints!

  125. Sue P says

    Oh camp St Albans in Washington! Such good memories! Duh, Chocolate chip cookies! Can’t go wrong with them!

  126. Donna says

    I was a Girl Scout many years, and enjoyed Girl Scout camps, and backpacking trips. Sold so many cookies I don’t even remember, but always stop to buy some from girls when I see them! My favorite cookie (it’s in the cookie section of my cook book so we’ll call it a cookie?) is a lemon square! I would be interested in trying the new Lemonade cookies! And–you’re so funny! One of the things I love about you. So I had to comment.

  127. Julie H. says

    Oatmeal scotchies are my favorite cookies, but those lemon Girl Scout cookies are awesome! Thanks for the chance to win!

  128. Colleen says

    My favorite cookie is oatmeal raisin!

    I’ve never had the Girl Scout lemonades. They sound good!

  131. Rebecca Anne says

    Favorite!? Wow, that’s hard! I *think my favorite is Macadamia Nut! (Followed closely by Shortbread, Thin Mint, Mexican wedding cookie, Magic Cookie Bars, Snickerdoodles and Tagalongs). I LOVE cookies! Cookie Monster, move over, here we all come! Cookies are so easy to grab and gobble down! They’re pre-portioned out for us, no plates or utensils needed! The perfect little treat!
    (Thank you for supporting Girl Scouters! I was a former Girl Scout too!)

  136. Renee' Hinton says

    I love pretty much all cookies! My favorite is probably a soft sugar cookie with frosting. My favorite Girl Scout cookie is definitely Thin Mints.

  138. Christina Baily says

    My favorite cookies are chocolate chip, and double chocolate chip. (did I say “chocolate”? I adore chocolate!)

  139. Bea says

    Home made cookies of any kind are hard to resist. Warm milk chocolate chip and snickerdoodles with Rolos in the center are my favorite. Yum – chocolate and caramel.

  141. Jennifer says

    Brownies are my favorite, though they might not count as a cookie. We do make a yummy mocha cookie that would be my next favorite.

  142. Maryw says

    There’s a 5 chip peanut butter cookie from Taste of Home that’s my absolute favorite!

  145. Liz Mohler says

    Gotta go with chocolate crinkles. I make them to give away at the holidays and people rave over them!

  148. Julie A. says

    My favorite cookie is the Carmel delights. I can eat a box in one sitting. No wait…the Peanut Butter sandwich cookies are tasty too. No, definitely the Carmel Delights.

  149. Cathy Ting says

    I make a oatmeal peanut butter cup chocolate chip cookie that I enjoy making for family and friends. But I love a nice chilled Thin Mint also!

  150. Alice says

    My favorite cookie is a tie between pumpkin chocolate chip and Girl Scouts Thin Mints.
    I can’t stop myself from eating the whole batch or whole box.

  151. Vivian Blossom says

    Mavis, one of my best memories was of Girl Scout Camp too! My luggage was lost and I had to wear the same clothes I left in for two weeks! When we arrived home and I got off the bus, the only clean thing about me were the lines of tears down my face because I was so sad to leave my counselor, Willow! I also got a bad burn on my ankle from cooking on a coffee can that we had made into a stove. The good thing about that was I didn’t have to go on the 20 mile hike, although it turned out that it was a whole bunch of fun so I was sad I had missed it. My favorite cookies are the thin mints!

  155. MEM says

    My favorite cookie in the world is an oatmeal-chocolate chip cookie – with or without walnuts – from Russell Farms in Ipswich, MA

  158. Sandra says

    Oh wow, I sold soooo many GS cookies over the years, it’s hard to pick just one! My current favorite is the peanut butter patties, even though the size shrank. I also loved the ones with a bit of cranberry taste (forgot the name!), lemon cookies, and the chocolate chip cookies from the early 80s-definitely required milk!

    If I win, my husband can have the thin mints and caramel delites-the others would be mine! Please pick wisely Mavis!

  159. Sharon D. says

    Thank you Mavis! Chocolate Chip is my very favorite but my Mom’s Soft Molasses Cookies are way up there too!

  160. Laura says

    My favorite cookie is a lemon bar, although the other day I was craving a big, warm peanut butter cookie for some reason.

  161. Kayla says

    Otis Spunkmeyer Double chocolate chip. Eating the regular choc chip frozen dough brings back fond childhood memories.

  162. Teckla says

    Caramel delights! Almost anything caramel. Happy Today, and thank you for an awesome giveaway!

  163. Anne says

    Who doesn’tove cookies! Snickerdoodles, lemon, peanut butter, chocolate chip are just a few of my favorites.

  164. Laura Z says

    I love pecan shortbread, oatmeal raisin cookies, and snickerdoodles. As far as girlscout cookies go, I’m team samoas!

  166. esther says

    so hard to answer this! So the lemon GS cookies this year are so delish…as for my favorite cookie, they would have to be Aunt Mary’s cookies. they are three cookie doughs, pressed into a log shape, sliced, and baked. it’s so hard to describe but they are so good! The only recipe i know of comes from a mennonite church cookbook.

  168. Cecile says

    Here in Canada we don’t get the fancy Girl Guide cookies, we can get a box of chocolate and vanilla (one row of each) or the thin mints. In November I bought 4 boxes of thin mints and have them tucked away so Hubs can’t find them or they’d be all gone in no time!.
    I have two favourite cookies, one from my childhood that I have no idea what they were called but my mom made them a couple times and can’t remember what they were now. She’s 75 this year, but that’s no excuse! They were a lemon soft cake like cookie that puffed up in a soft mound of lemony goodness. She used an artificial lemon flavouring that came in a gel cap type thing where you would poke a hole in it and squeeze out the flavouring. I would love to get my hands on that recipe if anyone made them in the early 70’s can remember what they were. My second would be Chocolate haystacks, likely because they were the first cookie I could make by myself for the 4 of us kids and my parents while they were at work. Most times without permission and of course using baking supplies my mom would have in mind for other items to bake! Those were the days!

  170. Linda Sand says

    Snickerdoodles are my favorite but Girl Scout Thin Mints run a close second with oatmeal raisin being third. Except the days when oatmeal raisin are first. 🙂 I also like lemon cremes so am hoping to get to try those lemonade ones.

  174. Jessica says

    I think my favorite cookies are old fashioned molasses cookies. So soft and chewy with the right amount of spice! Fully disclosure, I can’t recall ever meeting a cookie I didn’t like!!

  177. Laure says

    I also have wonderful Girl Scout memories.
    Favorite cookie: chocolate chip.
    Thank you for bringing up great memories and for the giveaway.

  179. Gigi says

    Favorite cookie: Caramel Delights. The best part is: my husband hates coconut so I don’t have to fight him. They’re all mine mwahahahaa.

  185. Linda G says

    I love oatmeal raisin cookies. It was my Dad’s favorite and I would bake some for him when he lived in Assisted Living and in the Nursing Home. Chocolate chip is a close second, warm from the oven, made with 4 different chocolate chips. Oh I can smell them now!

  187. Granny B says

    My favorite cookies are FREE ones!! If I have to pick a flavor my favorite would actually be FROZEN thin mints!! Cool, minty deliciousness!

  188. Anita says

    so many favourites to choose from, peak freen (the ones with the red centres), a warm chewy ginger molasses cookie, white chocolate chip macadamia… yum, off to bake a batch of cookies now!!

  191. Nanci says

    Snickerdoodles! I’m looking for suggestions on adjustments for baking them at 4400′ elevation. My last attempt failed.

  192. Linda Huth says

    Love me some peanut butter cookies with chocolate chip cookies coming in a close second.

  193. Mary Neathway says

    My favourite cookie is a whoopie pie. I thought it was something my mother invented!

  195. Greta says

    I have a cherry oatmeal cookie recipe that uses dried cherries, chocolate chips, and almond extract…I don’t overbake them so they stay chewy…they never last long!

  197. Pam says

    My very favorite cookie is one that Pepperidge Farms came out with in the seventies, Sunflower raisin cookies….I loved them but couldn’t afford their price, so came up with my own recipe using a chocolate chip cookie recipe, replacing the chocolate chips with sunflower seeds and raisins….it worked, I made them often, but haven’t thought about them for years…I will Now…thanks for the reminder!

  199. Tirza says

    My favorite cookies are the chewy chocolate cookies from my Aunt Valerie Baer’s cookbook. Sooo good, with a great rich taste and texture!

  201. ALYCE K BISHOP says

    At one time all four of my daughters wanted to be Girl Scouts but our town had a shortage of leaders so guess who wound up leading three troops and advising on the fourth. I can’t imagine where the energy came from since I don’t have it anymore but I remember our 60 ft. front room was stacked with so many boxes they had to sell that we couldn’t move around much. Good old times.
    Anyway, favorite cookie—–anything lemon is wonderful.

  202. Karen Kolb says

    Ummm…..my fave…..by far…..Girl Scouts Thin Mints. They are like Heaven in a box.

  204. Sandra Cirello says

    My Favorite Cookie is Peanut Butter Cookies. I Like Girl Scout Cookies Too!! This Would Be A Yummy Win!!

  205. Lynn M says

    White chocolate macadamia nut cookies or “Cowboy” cookies are my two favorites! Somoa GS cookies are also!

  207. Lisa C says

    My favorite is white chocolate chip with walnuts and cranberries. Girl Scout cookie favorite is Samoa.

  208. Sharon says

    Soft and chewy thick chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. Warm from the oven, preferably!

  211. Cenith Murray says

    I’d love to try the lemonade cookies. Haven’t had Girl Scout cookies in a couple of years. They just don’t stand out in front of stores like they used to. But I always buy at least 4 boxes. Coffee with friends and Girl Scout cookies is the best!

  212. Lori says

    My favorite Girl Scout cookie is thin mints. My favorite way to eat them is frozen. They are the bomb digity! I have eaten them for breakfast before. I have even been known to eat a whole box in front of the TV. Please don’t judge! But……… who could say no to any flavor cookie.

  213. Judy Egan says

    My favorite cookies are Effies oat cakes. I have tried to make my own, but they just don,t tase the same. I,m not sure if these really qualify as COOKIES but thet are hand held and have a nice crunch to them.

  214. Lana says

    Warm homemade chocolate chip are the best! I would have loved Scouts more if my Mom had not been the leader. Still a blast and yes on summer camp. Best summer ever!

  216. Anissa says

    Purchased cookies from Levain Bakery in NYC are a must for me! Double Dark Chocolate served warm. They are amazing. Copycat recipe is on Mel’s Kitchen Cafe. But the key thing is the cookies are crisp on the outside and gooey on inside. They are also three servings for me from one cookie. GS cookie favorite are Samoas. Easiest cookies to make are coconut macaroons that I love! I like everything cookie related! I avoid raisins and have often felt the disappointment of thinking it was chocolate chip and instead had it be oatmeal raisin…

  219. VBarron says

    Soft almond sugar cookies with real butter cream icing and sugar sprinkles of course!

  222. Jacqui Gauld says

    Here in the UK, M&S sell a wide variety of cookies, my favourites are the cranberry/orange and the pistachio/almond ones.

  223. Jane says

  224. mary says

    My favorite cookie ever is chocolate chip, warm and fresh from the oven preferred! I do enjoy a thin mint from the girl scouts though.

  225. Jeanine says

    Having been a Girl Scout Leader when my daughter was young….it was fun to help the girls earn their patches. We would have field trips, craft making, visited retirement homes once a month, camping trips, and a yearly program for the parents to come and see what the girls had accomplished. It was great fun for me as well as the girls. I was the Cookie Chairman and we would set up our stand at the corner grocery store, local bank, as well as individual sales. My dining room was stacked with cases of cookies. Lots of memories and good times. Put me down on your list.

  228. Becky says

    Oh as a former Girl Scout,leader and unit chair I have eaten a lot of cookies. From ca where I was raised to my where I now live… My fai s from little brownies Baker and it’s Do Si So

  229. Laura L. says

    I used to absolutely love the Thin Mints but these days, it’s the Samoas for me. Thanks for the opportunity to enter, Mavis, and for your generosity in sharing. I was a Girl Scout too and still remember our leader so well, Mrs. Petit. ….great days!

  230. Nancy from mass says

    Until I became allergic to oatmeal, oatmeal chocolate chip was my favorite. Otherwise molasses cookies have always been my favorite. (An old family recipe)

  231. Kathy Brown says

    My mom’s snickerdoodles. They were chewy, melt in your mouth cinnamony-sugary-buttery heaven. Sadly she passed away and never revealed her secret to those little gems.

  232. ElleX says

    My favorite is lemonades…before lemonades, it was shortbread.

    I don’t think I have ever commented but I enjoy reading your blog. Thank you for inspiring me to garden (still a newbie)

  233. Susan Lemay Stanley says

    My Moms Peanut Surprises…after school snack…we were allowed 2 with a glass of milk!

  234. Pam says

    My favorite is homemade chocolate chip… but I also love the soft, cakey sugar cookies I would get when day tripping to Lancaster PA.

  235. Ted S. says

    Peanut butter thumbprint cookies with a Hershey’s kill in the middle. But, really, almost any cookie is my favorite if it is around when I want one!

  236. Donna G says

    my favorite is chocolate chip, however has to be nestle tollhouse cookies, not any other brand of chips, and not the pre-made dough ones either! scratch or nothing.

  237. Laurie Lasala-Tuttle says

    I loved being a Girl Scout many years ago Mavis! My favorite cookie is peanut butter with chocolate chips! Thanks for this fun giveaway.

  241. Nancy Risch says

    I also love the Lemonades…they may be my favorites ever! But I do love a good chocolate chip cookie right out of the oven!

  242. Cate Dennis says

    My favorite cookie has always been Lorna Doone. I love shortbread cookies. Have a wonderful week, Mavis!!

  245. Virginia B says

    My favorite cookie is peanut butter without added nuts. I like it a little undercooked. Now Girl Scout cookies I like the lemonades. Where I live they don’t offer those they offer the lemon ones that have powder sugar.

  246. Dianna says

    Peanut butter cookies are my favorite!

    I missed buying Girl Scout cookies this year! I have to hide some from the rest of the family because they’re gone in a flash.

  248. Sarah S says

    Aside from Girl Scout Smore cookies, chocolate chip are my favorite. But really any cookie is a good cookie!

  251. Linda says

    Tea cakes cookies. I make them every Christmas or there’s some very sad people in my house including myself. Ha!

  253. Rhonda Relyea says

    I can hardly choose just one, but ok, I’ll say gingersnaps! Nothing better than dipping a hard, crunchy gingersnap into a hot cuppa cinnamon tea. Such a delight to the tongue! Give Miss Lucy and kiss from me! I love her sweet face so much!

  255. GC says

    Hands down, my favorite is Snickerdoodle – but peanut butter chocolate chip is a close second. GREAT idea for a giveaway, I didn’t know such Troops were still out there!

  258. Idaho Girl says

    Vanishing Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies! It’s the Quaker Oats recipe minus raisins, add chocolate chips! I also was a girl scout and have wonderful memories of Camp Lyle McLeod on the Olympic Peninsula! Great summer-time adventures, but we never made tiki torches!

  261. Lori S says

    Thins Mints but they have to be straight from the freezer! Thank you for the shot…..I love each and every one of these cookies!

  262. Dawn says

    Peanut butter cookies are my favorite. My favorite Girl Scout cookie is a nice frozen Thin Mint!

  264. Dana says

    My most favorite cookies are homemade ginger snaps! I usually make them in the Fall of the year. My co-workers are always happy when I bring in the first batch of the year to share.

  270. Julie B says

    My favorite cookie is from a recipe I’ve had for many years…”100 Good Cookies”! How’s that for an originial name! Thanks, Mavis

  274. Barbara Pack says

    My absolute favorite is the Caramel Delights. But I pretty much love all cookies. LOL

  275. Barbara Gantt says

    Warm chocolate chip cookies are the very best. I was a Girl Scout too, still have the sash and badges.

  276. Rebecca Briscoe says

    my 3 daughters and 2 granddaughters were all girl scouts, but all of them are grown now. This is he first year in forever that I didn’t buy any Girl Scout cookies!

  277. Louise says

    My favorite cookies in the world are molasses cookies! I love them when they’re soft and chewy. The smell reminds me of being with my grandmother. She could bake up a storm! The Girl Scout’s mint cookies are a close second… especially straight from the freezer!

  278. Lori says

    My all time favorite is home made oatmeal chocolate chip. Any GS a close second! I’m a lifetime member of GSUSA!

  279. Debbie says

    My mom was a girl scout leader and so was I. Many fond memories. My favorite girl scout cookie was the Trefoil. Yumm.

  280. Laura Arnett says

    Peanut Butter thumb print cookies with Hershey kisses pressed in the middle when they come out of the oven ….. with an ice cold glass of milk :). Yummy

  281. Sheri says

    Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite, especially when still warm! I can easily eat a dozen!

  282. Pj says

    My favorite cookie is the Newman Marcus Million Dollar Chocolate Chip Cookie. My husbands favorite is the Girl Scout Lemonade Cookie. It’s new this year and he was in love at first bite, but only bought one package.

  283. Donna says

    I LOVE all cookies! How could I pick just one? I love Trader’s Joe’s chocolate peppermint sandwich cookie which you can only get around Christmas. Aldi’s also has a Toasted Coconut Thin Cookie that is wonderful. I love chocolate chip, peanut butter, shortbread, Magic Cookie bars and…….Did I say I love cookies? The perfect breakfast is a cup of hot chocolate and a couple of cookies.

    I was also a Brownie and Girl Scout and have many found memories of activities, selling and of course summer camp. It was a great time! I love Thin Mints and Samoas too!

    Thanks for the opportunity!

  284. torry says

    I love cookies! Any cookies! But my daughter-in-law makes the best Chocolate chip cookies with coconut and so they win!

  285. Margaret Hudgins says

    My favorite cookie ever is a Short Bread cookie from Scotland. After that, and in no particular order are cut out frosted sugar cookies, cut out frosted sugar cookies, cut out frosted cookies, and then cut out frosted sugar cookies.

  288. Pam says

    Here is my comment so I can enter this delicious contest. Hope you are all doing well amid the weirdness! We will see the end of this!

  289. Alicia Webster says

    Chewy Ginger Molasses. I also love a good sugar cookie. And a good snicker doodle. Basically, any cookie that I can eat with coffee is my “favorite cookie”.

  290. Jackie M says

    Definitely a fresh, slightly warm from the oven Chocolate Chip cookie is my favorite cookie of all time.
    I was a Girl Scout too. My favorite Girl Scout cookie is the Savannah or the Tag Along.

  291. Linn Delamarter says

    My favorite cookie are Thin Mints. I like to put them in the freezer and eat them cold! I bought 1 box of Thin Mint cookies this year and left them in my office and cannot get them because of the Covid virus, i was sent home… I would be so grateful to win these cookies!

  292. Lana Popejoy says

    I love cookies. How do I choose? Since you asked I’d have to choose soft gooey chocolate chip cookies. Something about the melted chocolate, yummy.

    I was also a girl scout and sold cookies back when they were $1 a box and we collected 3¢ tax on each box so we had lots of pennies that year.

  293. Lace Faerie says

    I was a Blue Bird and a Camp Fire Girl. Will always find those mints irresistible, ate my way into weeks of extra chores to earn the money for the boxes that called to me unrelentingly! Haha

    My favorite Girl Scout Cookie are the Samoas. My all time favorite cookie has to be chocolate chip, tho’ Subway’s oatmeal raisin run a close second. But only if the are a tad bit underdone and still soft and chewy.

  294. Trina says

    Hi Mavis! I would say that one of my favorite cookies is the thin mint— straight out of the freezer So good!

  296. Natasha Galbreath says

    Ooh…. a tie between my homemade shortbread and my frosted sugar cookies!

    I’ve never tried the girlscout cookies from suppliers over there. Did u notice a difference in taste? It’s well known they follow different recipes from different suppliers and ive always wondered just how different they are.

  297. Ashley Bean says

    My fave is thin mints. Hands down. Peanut butter is a very close second, but all girlscout cookies are delicious

  298. Pat says

    My favorite cookies are my Daddy’s recipe for Oatmeal, walnut and raisin cookies! He taught me how to make them when i was a young girl. I always think of hlm when I make them I do love the chocolate mint cookies , also!

  299. Teresa says

    My favorite cookie is the one that a family member hands me and says “I made these for you.” The thousands of cookies I’ve made for them and now they make them for me! I’m very lucky.

  300. MaryAnn Smith says

    Caramel Delights, I’ve tried so many off brands and recipes to make these, but, the Girl Scout ones are the best.

  307. Janet Estrada says

    Wow! So many cookie comments. My favorite cookie is probably a snickerdoodle sprinkled with salt. Thanks for providing great content! I love the newsletter.

  308. Julie says

    A butterscotch chocolate concoction that the stepmom of my middle school best friend would make, so I’m sure it is lost forever to me. At this point, that cookie almost feels like a dream!

  309. Nancy says

    I was a Girl Scout too and sold a lot of cookies over the years my favorite cookie is the thin mints I may even love them more than my homemade chocolate chip with walnuts must have a big glass of milk to go along !!

  310. Becka says

    It’s so hard to choose just one! One of my favorites is the Mexican Weddibg Cookie akso known as Snowballs.

  311. Dianna Morales says

    Ohhh, chocolate chip oatmeal soft!!!! Ok now I’m going to have to make some… yummmmm especially warm out of the oven.

  312. Kristen says

    Tagalongs (Peanut Butter Patties) are my favorite, but I had the Lemonades last year and they were AMAZING. They don’t sell them in our region though!

  313. Staci W says

    My favorite cookie changes depending on what is in the house! 😀 Right now, my favorite cookie is Lavender Shortbread. Delicious! Girl Scout cookies?.. Thin Mints and Caramel Delites Thanks for the chance.

  318. Tammy says

    I think my favorite cookies are double chocolate cookies! I have a Mrs. Field’s recipe that just makes THE BEST cookies ever!

  326. Vicky says

    My favorite cookie is a very simple one – the Snickerdoodle. It is tastes like getting a hug from my dear mom.

  327. Lynn from NC Outer Banks says

    Love a warm chocolate chip or my grandmother’s snowballs and GS Thin Mints are in there too. Thanks Mavis!

  328. Becky S says

    My very favorite is an orange cookie with orange icing that my daughter makes. The funny thing is, I don’t really like orange at all, but these are made with fresh juice and zest.

  329. Ally says

    Shortbread. Particularly mom’s chocolate chip shortbread that she makes at Christmas, but any, really!

  331. Tim says

    My favorite cookie is oatmeal scotchies. It isn’t so much the cookie as it is the handful of butterscotch chips I eat while we make them.

  334. Melissa says

    My favorites are the Tagalongs – which apparently have been renamed?!?! Proud former Girl Scout myself:)

  335. Rubie Morin says

    Well 8 MILLION people have already entered this, so figure my chances of winning are very minimal . . . Nevertheless less, my favorite is THIN MINTS.

  338. Bridget Sharp says

    I absolutely live chocolate chips cookies! Sometimes I don’t even cook the dough!

  340. Cynthia says

    Gosh, my all-time favorite cookie… until I tried to name one I would have said that I am not a cookie-crazed person. Then this cookie giveaway happened. I started thinking of all of the yummy cookies I have had the pleasure of meeting, guess what everyone, I am a cookie-crazed person! A veritable cookie monster who is having the darnedest time choosing just one. If pressed, my go-to cookie with tea is likely to be (cycling through the listings and adding more selections, trying to eliminate on basis of availability, cost, if there is a full moon), oatmeal cookie. Thank you for presenting such a delectable giveaway, now I must hurry off for a cuppa and a cookie. Stay safe everyone.

  341. Laurie Gaither says

    I love many, many kinds of cookies. My favorite though is my very own recipe chocolate chip cookie, warm from the oven so the chocolate is gooey and accompanied by a big glass of ice cold milk.

  342. D'Angela Hines says

    My favorite Girl Scout cookies are Thin Mints. My all time favorite cookie is Chocolate Chocolate Chip!!!

  343. Melissa says

    My daughter-in-law’s buttery chewy oatmeal raisin that she makes me when I’ve been especially good!!!

  346. Heather says

    I love a good shortbread cookie. Second up is chocolate chip. I have never had a bad cookie. Thank you for always uplifting our spirits!

  347. Marissa says

    My favorite cookie is a Springerle cookie (tastes like black licorice)… my Grandma always made them at Christmas!

  351. Carolina Cooper says

    My favorite all time cookies are chocolate chip with pecans that my Alabama mother made back in the 1950’s. Sooo good, and we kids got to “lick the beaters” of her Sunbeam mixer. What get memories!

  352. Ruth says

    I wish our Council still sold the Lemonades. We’ve been selling the other baker’s cookies for the past few years and they’re just not as good. Anyhow, my favorite cookie is Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Walnut. Sadly my daughter is allergic to al nuts and I can’t make them anymore.

  353. Judy J says

    Definitely lemon bars tart enough to make my eyes water with a sweet topping counterpart for balance!

  355. Pam H says

    Samoas (or caramel delites as some call them). I was a girl scout and love these best.

  356. Cindy Brick says

    Thin mints — handsdown. I’m a sucker for the Samoas, too.

    If I win, will you have a little mercy? We just finished a world cruise — actually, it got cancelled mid-cruise, and took us a month to get back to London. We fly home to Colorado Sunday… so if I’m a little late to answer, it’s because I’m still trying to figure out where I am, and what I’m doing here. But 48 hours should be enough.

  357. Matthew E says

    Oatmeal! Cool blog. I enjoyed all the tips – including from other readers. I’m single with a studio apt, so very different, but my first take-away is to buy a chest freezer.

  358. Jana says

    My mother in law makes an oatmeal cookie called Yankee Quakers. That and molasses cookies

  361. Jill A says

    My absolute favorite cookie is the Everything But the Kitchen Sink at Wild Oats in Brunswick. My second favorite is Tagalongs. I can come close to making an EBKS on my own, but a Tagalong? I just have no idea how to dip a whole cookie in chocolate and leave that peanut butter cushion intact on top.

  362. Rosalind says

    Chocolate chocolate chip cookies would have to be my favorite.

    Thanks for the fun giveaway!

  363. Laura Reinhart says

    Waving my arms in the air
    Was a girl scout in the 1960s. I remember pulling my red wagon going door to door selling cookies. Thin mints are classic!

  364. JOAN RICHARD says

    I love oatmeal cookies! Big fat soft ones. Ginger snaps and molasses cookies too
