Not all cookie varieties are quite so successful. The Girl Scouts have discontinued scores of cookie varieties during the program’s run, including Aloha Chips (with macadamia nuts and white chocolate chips), Apple Cinnamons, Double Dutch (chocolate cookies with chocolate chips), and the raspberry jam-filled Ice Berry Piñatas.Here's our previous discussion of the Core Six cookies.
Despite Girl Scouts' efforts to make their cookies healthier (in 2007, several recipes were reworked so that they had zero trans-fat), the health-minded cookie offerings sell terribly. Many sugar-free and 100-calorie cookies have been briefly available, all disappearing quickly. Daisy Go Rounds, a 100-calorie replacement of the retired Cinna-Spins, only lasted two years (2009-2011).

DOES THE LADY CHABLIS APPROVE? The Girl Scouts will be adding Savannah Smiles cookies to the mix this year, "a lemon-wedge shortbread cookie dusted with powdered sugar ... cool and crisp, with just the right number of lemon chips to deliver tiny bursts of flavor." CSM notes:
It sounds like a Lemon Cooler, I am intrigued.
ReplyDeleteThese are sold all over Savannah (although usually Key Lime) and come to think of it, I don't remember seeing them anywhere else, though I'm sure they're sold elsewhere. They're tasty.
ReplyDeleteSavannah Smiles? Cookies named after a movie about a runaway little girl?
