I'm not a big keep-in-the-house kind of cookie person, but be still my little cookie heart when it's Girl Scout cookie season. Aside from my main problem of consuming way too many in a sitting, I tend to forget (or put out of my mind is more like it) how many boxes I'm racking up from various cookie-pushers. On delivery day this year, it became apparent I ordered way too many...again. A dozen boxes total! Here's my reasoning:
1. Those boxes are incredibly small. One weensy box just won't cut it around these parts. Not to mention, I tend to give away the majority of my loot so it's not like we're really eating ALL the cookies.
2. At only three-something dollars a box and cute little scout blinking her big eyes, I have a hard time ordering just one. Now, take that and multiply the feeling among the regular four or so scouts who willingly take advantage of this well-known fact.
3. Samoas and their toasted coconut-y goodness. Enough said.
What's your favorite Girl Scout cookie? And don't say the shortbread kind. Eck.

Which ONE? Which ONE? No such luck...love so many but I guess I'd have to say the peanut butter, chocolate covered kind and of course, those thin mints...which I'm certain will be devoured around here within a day or two!
Oh, I am waiting for mine and it is not a good thing, because I want to lose 5 pounds before our trip! But, the peanut butter or thin mint...love them.
Enjoy! And I think I am around a dozen boxes too!
Oh my! Samoas are my favorite! That picture made me drool just a little. Why haven't mine come yet?
I've been so inspired by your site and have been hanging around for a few weeks, soaking in the ideas and encouragement towards a warm, inviting home and sanctuary for my sweet husband to get back to each evening.
When the topic of Girl Scout cookies came up, however, I couldn't remain the silent bystander any longer! Thin Mints. My all time favorite... though we have a bunch of Samoas floating around every year as they're my hubby's favorite.
Last Summer I purchased, oh, about 13 boxes of GS Cookies and tossed them in our deep freeze for a few months. This past Christmas I was able to gift them out to friends and family as a unique give that (obviously) everyone loved! Yes, I saved a box for myself as well, as a "yay me" gift for not eating the remaining 12!
Frozen thin mints and Samoas all the way!! This year we stuck to one of each even though I tried to convince my hubby that we needed 2 of the Samoas to equal the thin mints...no such luck!
I'm glad that no one yet has had the audacity to mention the shortbread cookies and their tasteless qualities. Ha ha!
Jessica: Thin mints...yes, they've been long gone since their arrival.
TwoLittleTots, Mrs.JasonHunt, and Amy: Glad I'm not the only one who orders a dozen boxes or so. But I like MJH's idea to deep freeze them. That's if they can remain unopened between me and the freezer.
Amy: Is it bad that I've done the calculation that two Samoas caloricly equal four Thin Mints? State your case for more Samoas! :)
The lemon ones are awesome. However, I did just eat a sleeve of thin mints last night. Hey-they have totally downsized the amount they give you so really a sleeve of cookies is not that bad!
Yesterday I received an email from a co-worker announcing that our Girl Scout cookie orders were in. With excitement I said out loud, "Ooo cookies! Hmm, I can't remember which one I ordered." Sure enough when my box came around, I had ordered Lemonades. A SHORTBREAD cookie with thin layer of lemon icing on the bottom. Mmmm so delish!
Positive mind. Positive vibes. Positive life.
