Girl Scout Cookie Ranking

Ava Park

Depending on your location, the highly-anticipated Girl Scout cookie-selling season runs roughly from January to April, so it’s essential to plan ahead. 

With a decade of experience as a Girl Scout, I bring a unique perspective to the list of must-try boxes. So here is a Girl Scout's Review of Every Girl Scout Cookie (for the 2025 season). 

Lemonades: 8/10

  • I liked these tart, lemony shortbreads a lot more than I thought I would. They’re not too sweet, and the lemon flavor is nicer than other lemon-flavored foods I’ve had. 

Adventurefuls: 4/10

  • These cookies, inspired by brownies, have a crunchier texture than expected. Personally, I found them overly sweet, which was quite disappointing. 

 Peanut Butter Patties: 10/10

  • Where do I begin? These are hands down the best Girl Scout cookies. The soft chocolate and peanut butter complement the hard cookie and make for a wonderful cookie experience. It's like a Reese's Cup’s more fun and accomplished cousin. I feel sorry for anyone with a peanut allergy.

Peanut Butter Sandwich: 5/10

  • They are solid. Sometimes I crave them. 

Trefoils: 8/10

  • It took me a while to try these cookies because I wasn't exactly jumping off the walls to try shortbread, but I regret that. Trefoils get an 8/10 for their soft texture and versatility. You can eat these for breakfast, lunch or dinner, and they won't feel out of place. 

Thin Mints: 3/10

  • This might be a controversial opinion, but I don't like Thin Mints. Maybe I'm not a fan of mint chocolate, but I don't think that's the case since I like Andes Mints. Something about the crunchy mint chocolate of a Thin Mint grosses me out. 

Toast-Yay!: 6/10

  • I didn't know what I expected these to taste like, but it certainly wasn’t that. A lot of people compare Toast-Yays to Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but in my opinion, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is better. The cookie is kind of gingerbready and has a layer of icing that isn't too sickening. 

Caramel deLites: 10/10

  • These cookies live up to their name 100 percent. They are deLite-ful. Each cookie has the perfect texture, the chocolate is chewy and soft, and I'm not even a coconut fan, but the coconut flakes in these cookies are so incredible. I love you, Caramel deLites.
