Cookie Monster's Favorite Time of Year

Staff Reporter Rowan Gast-Bray
These next couple of weeks are a holiday season unlike any other. Millions of young girls will be sent forth bearing order forms for Girl Scout Cookie sales. In this time of festivity, it will not be hard to get your hands on a box (or 40 boxes) of cookies. You can purchase a single box for only four dollars. Many people have already selected their choice cookies, but I must recommend a few of my favorites. Brand new this year is the Rah-Rah Raisin cookie, a hearty combo of yogurt chunks, oatmeal and raisins. Another fine option for the donut-shape lovers is the Samoa, a crisp cookie covered in thick chocolate, coconut, and caramel. My personal favorite and a timely classic is the Thin Mint. It boasts a pleasant proportion of chocolate to mint and is even VEGAN! There are still others in the gamut of gastronomic delight: Savannah Smiles, Trefoils, Do-Si-Dos and Tagalongs. You can find order forms with any staff member who has a child in Girl Scouts. Try Mrs. Dimmack, Mr.Tronc, Mrs. Mobley or Mr. Burke. Do not despair if the cookies have already been delivere. You can still buy a box. Talk to a Girl Scout and find out where Cookie Booths will be located.  A percentage of your purchase is donated to each troop, so I am sure you can find it in your heart (and your stomach) to help out!
