I am a rabid Thin Mint woman, myself. Stick them in the freezer and then scarf the whole box on a hot summer afternoon with a large glass of frosty 2% milk. Heaven on earth. Better than almost any other dessert. ---

Samoas. I think that’s what they’re called. With all the coconut and the goopy caramel stuff. Yummy. Especially good with Hawaiian Punch. ---

I like the Peanut Butter ones. ---

I always go for the Thin Mints and Samoas. I think I like Thin Mints better - been around longer. I have recently discovered that I no longer like Tag-A-Longs (chocolate covered peanut butter) but I now like Do-Si-Dos (peanut butter oatmeal). Strange reversal. ---

Samoas. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I could eat a whole box if I had enough milk. ---

I prefer Samoas (although I think they changed the name), but thin mints from the freezer are damn tasty as well. Third on my list would be the plain shortbread cookies. ---

Samoas. Followed closely by Tagalongs. (The chocolate covered peanut butter ones.) ---

Samoas Rule! (They are a Chocolate, Coconut, Caramel thingy) Did you know that Edy’s makes Ice Cream out of those? Lots of different Girl Scout cookie flavors, too. Mmmm, Yummy. “…Are those made from real Girl Scouts?” Tuesday Adams ---

I vote for the peanut butter ones that are so fragile that only about 5 come in a package and the rest is packaging. ---

Samoas are now Carmel Delites. Wow are they good!!! Buy 2 boxes every year for Deer Hunting. ( That way I can eat them all myself) The new Fudge Shortbread cookies are excellent too. And of course Thin Mints from the freezer. Yum!!! ---

Thin Mints are best (I also make a pie crust out of them, yum.) Shortbreads are also great. ---

As seen before this, Thin Mints are THE BEST. Hands down, no contest. I’m not too fond of the organization otherwise, but how can you not give them money when they can tantalize you for weeks waiting for that little green cardboard box of heaven? Freezing them is the way to go. ---

Samoas and frozen Thin Mints, hands down. One of the happiest periods in my life began when several co-workers over-ordered from our resident parent of a scout, and I got the surplus. For free. A box each of Samoas and Mints. For _free_. ---

Thin Mints or the plain shortbread. ---

> [@](#): > > scarf the whole box on a hot summer afternoon with a large glass of frosty 2% milk. I’m confused, if you’re eating a whole box of cookies, why bother with 2% milk? I like Tagalongs the best. Chocolate and Peanut Butter, mmmm! ---

Thin Mints, of course. For the discriminating palate. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/best-girl-scout-cookie/22137.md?page=2)
