It’s that time of year again, Girl Scouts around the country are selling their delicious Girl Scout cookies to fund their troops.

Some of their most popular flavors of cookies include samoas, crisp caramel cookies with coconut and chocolate stripes; do-si-dos, crunchy oatmeal cookies with a peanut buttery filling; and the delightful lemon ups, crispy lemon cookies with a friendly message. 

Trefoils are another favorite, shortbread cookies inspired by the original Girl Scout recipe.

But the best cookie the Girl Scouts offer is, of course, the iconic thin mints. To those who say thin mints taste like toothpaste, you have poor taste. 

This simple, yet delicious, combination of chocolate and mint creates a wonderful cookie. Besides, it is the best selling cookie, according to Girl Scouts.

But what matters the most is the opinions of students around NIU. What is the best Girl Scout cookie?
