Specialty Cookie FAQs What are the six “core” cookie varieties? Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Trefoils, Do-si-dos and Savannah Smiles return to the cookie lineup at $5/ box. What are the two “specialty” cookies? Girl Scout S’mores is a crunchy graham sandwich cookie with layers of creamy chocolate and marshmallowy filling embossed with the Girl’s Choice Outdoor Badges. Developed exclusively for Girl Scouts in response to popular consumer trends, this is the first cookie in the world with layered fillings. Made with natural flavors and specialty ingredients, it is Whole Foods Market compliant, with no artificial colors, no high fructose corn syrup, no hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils, and no genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Toffee-tastic is a rich, buttery gluten-free cookie packed with toffee chips. Why are the specialty cookies priced at $6? Girl Scout S’mores and Toffee-tastic cost Girl Scouts San Diego more than twice as much as the six core cookies. Girl Scout S’mores: To create the exclusive layered filling, the baker invested in machinery and procedures. Specialty ingredients and natural flavors are also much more expensive. Toffee-tastic: Special gluten-free ingredients and testing the production line and product to ensure the cookie is gluten-free, creates additional expenses that the baker passes on to Girl Scout councils. Do all Girl Scout councils price their specialty cookies at $6/box? Some councils will sell specialty cookies at $6/box. Our neighboring Girl Scout councils (Orange County and San Gorgonio) have a different cookie baker (ABC Baker) that will produce a non-specialty s’mores cookie. This cookie is covered in chocolate and has no unique ingredients or features and will sell for $5/box. Are specialty cookies available in the cookie cupboards? Depending on availability, specialty cookies may be available in cookie cupboards. Troops that do not place their order by Friday, Jan. 12 will be able to place cupboard orders for these varieties, but availability is not guaranteed. *S’mores: The tradition of enjoying s’mores in the outdoors was popularized by Girl Scouts as early as the 1920s. We were one of the first to publish the iconic recipe under the name “Some More” in a 1925 issue of Girl Scout Leader magazine and, then, as “Somemores” in an official 1927 Girl Scout publication. The s’mores tradition is a sentimental component of Girl Scouts’ longstanding commitment to the outdoors, a cornerstone of the organization that plays a vital role in girls’ leadership development.
