I have a serious weakness for cookies. They are my one absolute vice. I’m like a heroin addict. My drug of choice is actually chocolate chips cookies. I’m actually one of those people that prefers them raw, but about fifteen minutes out of the oven is a close second. But like the heroin addict who will do crack if nothing else is around, in a pinch, any cookies will do.
If the heroin’s addict first step to recovery is admitting they have a problem, then surely that’s true for a cookie monster, right? So here’s my embarrassing admission: Right now, I have three kinds of cookie dough in my freezer and twelve kinds of store bought cookies in the pantry. Twelve! Five of those are Girl Scout cookies. Let me clarify. I have five kinds of Girl Scout cookies. But a total of sixteen boxes. Seriously, it’s like I’m stockpiling for the apocalypse. And I don’t even have a Girl Scout in my immediate family. 
I’ve recently joined Weight Watchers and decided it’s time to thin out the cookie supply in the pantry (and freezer). But I know I won’t be able to ditch the GS cookies. I just bought them! And they won’t be available next month. And … well, they just taste like childhood.
So what’s your favorite kind of Girl Scout cookie?

Samoas are my crack. The chewy coconutty deliciousness…blerk! I can eat six of those things before even pausing for breath. Then I wonder why I have a stomachache…

Thin mints. Definitely. 1 sleeve = 1 serving.

Emily, you are a girl after my own heart. I love cookies too. For our 4 year anniversary, USF and I went to a fancy restaurant. We had an $88 bottle of wine, expensive entrees, and for dessert he wants to know if I want bananas foster (prepared table side). Nope, I say. I saw cookies and ice cream on the dessert menu. That’s what I got!
My fave GS cookie is Samoas too. But since I’m not teaching this year, I’m GS cookie free. Send yours my way, if you want, Emily

LOL, Nancy! I totally agree!
I actually don’t like Samoas, because I don’t like coconut. But I know they’re Robyn’s favorite. I have a box in the freezer just for her. My daughter calls them “Aunt Robby cookies,” which I just think is cute.
Now, normally, I’d say that Thin Mints are my favorite, but this year, I’ve really been loving Thanks-A-Lot, which is a shortbread cookie with a chocolate coating on the back. Soooo yummy. And they don’t make them everywhere, so this year I bought them for me and my sister. The Geek was like, “Did you really mean to buy ten boxes of cookies?” Yes, I absolutely did.

I also hate coconut lol. I like the old standbys- Trefoils and Thin Mints. I do try others sometimes but they seem to disappear – there was a lemon cookie that I liked but now it’s different.

Was it a big round cookie with a lemon coating on the back? That’s the companion cookie to the Thanks-a-lot that I love. They stopped making both of them at some of the bakeries, and now they just make a lemon sandwich, which I don’t think is nearly as good. In Austin we still have the yummy lemons. Unfortunately we ate those *way* too fast this year. So with all the cookies I have, no more lemons. Makes me sad.

Samoas are absolutely my favorites and I love them right out of the freezer. They were always called Caramel Delights while I was growing up and in the last few years they changed the name.
That’s a lot of cookies boxes, even for you, Emily.

Thin Mints were my favorite, but I stopped eating them because of the hydrogenated oils. If that has been removed, someone please let me know because I’d love to get reacquainted with these yummy cookies.

The Samoas are my favorite. The combination of chewy coconut and chocolate is wonderful! I also like the Thanks-a-lot cookies. I bought a few boxes of these cookies this year and they disappeared within two days, but I’m not the only cookie muncher in my household.

OMG, did you have to mention chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven? That is the ultimate cookie high.
Favorite Girls Scout cookie, though, is peanut butter. No question.

I’m a cookie-aholic as well. But I don’t let myself buy them often because I will eat them within a few days. I have no self control when it comes to cookies. And that is why I never let myself buy Girl Scout cookies, but since moving into a neighborhood with lots of kids, if anyone came to our door then I would gladly support them. And no one has! This year I haven’t even seen them out selling them. So, I’m not very familiar with all the different cookies though I know I like Thin Mints. And I hate cocunut as well…ruins a perfectly good cookie.
