I love the ones with caramel, coconut, and chocolate, all piled on top
of a cookie base. Second and third choices are Thin Mints and
Shortbread.

You evil, evil bitch!

You're kidding, right? All their cookies are awful. I just make a
contribution and tell them I can't eat cookies. This amazes them.

They're called Samoas. Those were my favorite for a long time, but I'm
finding myself less interested in overly sweet coconut foods
(especially desserts) lately. Maybe it's my growing interest in cooking
with coconut milk, which impart the flavor but isn't so sickeningly
sweet and chewy.

My favorites now are the chocolate-covered peanut butter patties, but
frozen. They taste like frozen reese cups with a bonus cookie part!
They make 2 kinfd of PB cookies - Tagalongs and Do-Si-Dos. I THINK
these are the tagalongs but I'm not sure.

Yup, that's them. I haven't had any in over a decade. I'm not sure
if I'd like them now or not, but I don't intend to find out. G

Are there still choices? I used to like the Vanilla sandwich cookies when
they came in a box with half vanilla and half chocolate. I was never too
keen on the chocolate covered mint patties. There aren't any young girls
living around here and my wife is retired from teaching so we haven't felt
obligated to buy any for a few years. I can't say that I miss them.

For some reason I stopped baking cookies for a few years and decided to
just buy them once in a while. My favourites were Peek Freans, but they
were bought out by Kraft and the quality went downhill. They got
Kraftized. So I stopped buying them. I decided to make a batch of cookies
and immediately felt pretty silly for having been buying them when they
are so easy to make, and so much much better than any you can buy.

Nonsense. I've been buying their shortbread cookies for decades.
Love 'em!

That's what I do for their candies. Does freak 'em out, don't it.

I wish the Boy Scouts shilled something good to eat. When I was a
scout, we sold fireworks to raise money, but the safety police have
screwed that up. I just send them a check directly, thereby avoiding
all that PC bullshit from United Way.

Most troops I've been aware of put on an annual spaghetti dinner. Have
you checked to see if your local troops do something along the same
lines?

We enjoy their microwave popcorn. Good stuff, nearly all the kernels
pop and not too much fake butter flavor.

We eat too many boxes of the girlscout Samoas and Thin Mints to count.
I think there are about six boxes still in the freezer. Husband brought
home nuts and chocolate mint candies (rather like Frango mints) a few
months back.

Samoas, where available (where Little Brownie Bakers supply the
cookies). Oddly, I don't really like the fairly similar Caramel
deLites (made by ABC Bakers). The former is more of a "caramel with a
cookie center", while the latter is more of a "caramel coated cookie."

Since I live in a border area between two different Girl Scout
councils, this means that half the troops aren't selling my preferred
cookie.

That type of argument is like

"Bob shot someone"

"Yeah, but don't you remember when Don hit that guy with a bat?"

The best. Try them frozen, even better.

Yeah, Tagalongs, those are my favorite, too ... haven't had the
? Trefoils in a long long time, those are the shortbread. On
vacation a girl scout was selling cookies outside the Win Dixie,
got a box of thin mints ... I haven't had those in forever either,
I was pleasantly surprised how good they were.

Okay, I've gotta ask. What's a Peek Frean?

Our troop didn't put on a dinner, but we acted as waitstaff/bussboys
to our Elks Lodge when they put their huge annual spaghetti dinner.
They were the primary sponsor of our troop.
