- Online with the Digital Cookie platform. If you know a Girl Scout, tell her you’re interested in buying cookies from her online, and she’ll take it from there!
Along with the debut of the new “Adventurefuls” cookie, traditional favorites include Thin Mints, Shortbread, Caramel deLites, Lemonades, Toast-Yay!, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches and Caramel Chocolate Chip (gluten-free).
