![]() ![]() This, the Little Brownie Bakers version, is the superior of the two different S’mores cookies. “Though it tastes like ‘some more’ one is really enough.” There you go: the first snack to preach moderation. “The heat of the marshmallow between the halves of chocolate bar will melt the chocolate a bit,” it reads. The recipe details the making of the s’more we all know and love - the classic marshmallow-and-chocolate sandwich. But if anyone has earned the right to make some money off it, it’s the Girl Scouts - a recipe for s’mores was included in the 1927 scouting manual “Tramping and Trailing With the Girl Scouts” alongside classic dishes like “Spotted Dog” and “Ring Tum Tiddy.” S’more, short for “some more,” sure is a funny little name for a snack. I am, however, distinguishing between the two S’Mores cookies, because they’re completely different - one is a sandwich cookie and the other is a chocolate-coated graham cookie. For the sake of brevity, I’m counting that as one type of cookie, because they’re not structurally different in any meaningful way. In some cases, there are also different names for the same cookie: Orange County has Peanut Butter Patties but Los Angeles has Tagalongs. But technically there are 17 different cookies a number of the classics, like Thin Mints, are baked by both companies and have slight but distinct differences. Weird, eh?įor the purposes of these rankings, there are 12 types of Girl Scout cookies. In Los Angeles, cookies come from Little Brownie Bakers. In Orange County, for example, the scouts source cookies from ABC Bakers. Each local council makes its own selection. And the division of labor is not broken up in any kind of predictable way, like, east of the Mississippi, you get one baker and west of it, you get the other. Now for some quick housekeeping: Girl Scout cookies are unexpectedly complicated because two bakeries, ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers, provide cookies to the 110-plus Girl Scout councils throughout the country. I have pored and pondered over these delicious snacks, and have rated them by 1) taste (at room temperature) and 2) taste when they’re right out of the freezer. We’ve got a lot to cover, so let’s get moving, shall we? Welcome to the conclusive, unassailable and 100% correct Girl Scout Cookie Power Rankings. ![]()
