Cookies

The theme of the 2008 cookie program is "Ready, Set, Go." There is one new cookie -- Cinna-Spins™ -- to go along with the seven other favorite varieties. This year all of the Girl Scout Cookies® baked by ABC Bakers have zero trans fat. A description of all of the cookies is listed below.

The sale kicks off Jan. 3 with order taking and continues through March 2. The cookies are $3.50 per box. If you would like more information about the cookie program, you can call the Girl Scouts of Citrus Council's cookie hotline at (407) 896-4475, (800) 367-3906, ext. 1408 or e-mail Product Sale Director. Or if you are not contacted by a Girl Scout and you would like to place an order, you can download the fax back cookie order form and fax it to 407-894-2178.

What is the role of the Girl Scout cookie program activity? This cookie program teaches girls how to acquire skills for the real world. Girls learn decision-making skills, planning and goal setting, how to handle money responsibly and how to prioritize. Girls also learn the importance of following through on a commitment.

Cinna-Spins™ NEW!
ABC has introduced a new cookie this year called Cinna-Spins™. These crispy, round cookies have a cinnamon burst in every bite!

Lemonades™
ABC Bakers has had a lemon cookie as part of its Girl Scout Cookie sale for over 20 years. Lemonadesl™ looks like a slice of lemon that is made of shortbread with a refreshingly tangy lemon icing. YUM!

Thanks-A-Lot™
It is impossible to know how many ways there are to say "thank you" and these delicious new Thanks-A-Lot™ cookies say it in five different languages! Each crunchy cookie has a layer of fudge on the bottom and the words, "Thank you" in English, French, Chinese, Swahili or Spanish embossed on the top.

Shortbread
ABC's unique, buttery shortbread cookie recipe was adapted from an authentic English formula that was hand-carried to the United States years ago. Shortbread is the original Girl Scout cookie that started it all -- a true classic that never grows old!

Thin Mints
Produced at a rate of almost two million cookies a day on an oven that is about as long as a football field, Thin Mints are made from the purest peppermint oil which when added to our unique "chocolatey" coating creates a burst of clean mint flavor. The result: Girl Scout Thin Mints are the No. 1 selling Girl Scout cookie across the USA.

Caramel deLites®
Caramel deLites® come to life when a warm, chewy, vanilla cookie is drizzled with a decadent fudge coating and melted caramel made from scratch right in the bakery. To top it off, ABC uses a special cut of premium toasted flaked coconut. The bakery's grocery list includes 1.7 million pounds of it every season!

Peanut Butter Sandwich
ABC's peanut butter is so delicious because the bakery makes it itself to ensure consistency, quality and great taste. Over 2.8 million pounds of Virginia's finest peanuts go into ABC's homemade peanut butter and over 882,000 pounds of it are spread between the crunchy oatmeal cookies each season!

Peanut Butter Patties®
This mouth-watering recipe is also created from homemade peanut butter made with fresh Virginia peanuts. When the smooth peanut butter is dropped on top of the rich base cake and smothered with fudge made from the finest Dutch cocoa, this is one treat that is truly hard to resist. America agrees making it the third best selling Girl Scout cookie and the seventh best selling cookie in the United States.
