I hate to be a diet-buster, but it's Girl Scout cookie season!
It used to be easy.... too easy... for me to get Girl Scout cookies. My kids' friends and our neighbors' kids and our co-workers' kids were all willing to sell 'em to us.
We were beseiged. And we obliged. We even bought from the scouts who set up tables at the shopping center.
Now, they're the only ones we see. Apparently that's what happens when your kids grow up; they're no longer in the scouting circles, so neither are we!
Well, not to worry. There's an app for that!
Seriously. It's the Cookie Finder app-- "Use the app to find the cookie booth closest to you (including the sale’s time, date, and location), locate your local Girl Scout council, and access the complete listing of Girl Scout Cookies available across the United States and Puerto Rico."
You can also buy online from a scout you know... or contact the local Girl Scout Council for info.
The Girl Scouts have a new cookie this year! Besides Thin Mints, Tagalongs and other favorites (mine is Caramel deLites®/Samoas!), your local Girl Scout troop is now selling a new cookie called Caramel Chocolate Chip.
The gluten-free cookie is made with caramel, semi-sweet chocolate chips and a hint of sea salt.
Check the "Meet the Cookies" page of the Girl Scout website for all the cookie info!
