Girl Scout Cookie Throwdown: What’s The Best Cookie? (Poll)

ACROSS AMERICA — Perhaps you’ve heard: The Girl Scouts have added what organization calls a “radical new flavor” to its 2023 Girl Scout Cookie lineup with Raspberry Rally, which will be offered exclusively online.

The Girl Scouts call the Raspberry Rally a “sister” to Thin Mints. They’re dipped in the same chocolaty coating, but are infused with raspberry flavoring instead of mint.

Oh yeah? And here you thought Thin Mints were an only child.

And are these new cookies, or Thin Mints, for that matter, better than Samoas? Is anything better than Samoas?

We know how seriously Patch readers take their Girl Scout cookies, so we’re counting on you to decide which cookie is best in the Girl Scout Cookie Throwdown Poll below. Defend your choice if you’d like! (If you need a cheat sheet, check out the 2023 Girl Scout Cookie lineup.)

Girl Scout Cookie season runs nationally from January through April, but the timing for local troops varies. Cookie sales date back to 1917, when Girl Scouts began selling them to raise money for their troops and councils.
