Fort Worth’s favorite Girl Scout cookie is...
Dessert lovers, rejoice.
It’s finally Girl Scout cookie season.
You can now order any or all of the classic cookies you’ve been craving. Plus, treat yourself to a new addition to the lineup: Adventurefuls, a chewy brownie cookie filled with gooey caramel, sprinkled with specks of sea salt and drizzled with chocolate.
“It’s really good, I totally recommend it,” said North Richland Hills 16-year-old Girl Scout Leilani Hoff. “It’s crunchy in the same way as a Thin Mint, but it also has that gooey caramel like a Caramel deLite, so you’re almost getting the best of both worlds.”
We asked readers: what’s your favorite Girl Scout cookie?
Hoff loves the Caramel deLites, with Adventurefuls being a close second.
Now that over 300 Star-Telegram readers have cast their vote for best cookie, we can ultimately declare a cookie champion.
With an overwhelming victory, Thin Mints have come out on top. The winner is controversial to critics who call them toothpaste-flavored cookies. But for 23% of voters, the favorite combines just the right amount of mint and chocolaty goodness.
While it wasn’t a close competition, Caramel deLites were second best among Fort Worth residents, with 16% of votes. Peanut Butter Patties and the new Adventurefuls closely followed, with 14% each. Underdogs like Shortbread, Lemonades, Peanut Butter Sandwich and Girl Scout S’mores also received a good number of votes.
Local Girl Scouts are selling cookies from Jan. 14 to Mar. 6. Here’s how to score cookies in the Fort Worth area, including Thin Mints or the new Adventurefuls.
See a full list of flavors on gs-top.org. Each box is $5, and the gluten-free Caramel Chocolate Chip box is $6.
