Three New Girls Scout Cookies for 2015

The Girl Scouts will be debuting three new cookies this cookie season and two of them are gluten-free. The new trio of cookies include Toffee-tastic, Trios, and Rah-Rah Raisins.

Toffee-tastic are gluten-free buttery cookies with toffee bits.

Rah-Rah Raisins are oatmeal raisin cookies that include Greek yogurt-flavored chunks.

Trios features a gluten-free cookie made with peanut butter, chocolate chips, and whole grain oats.

If any of the new flavors have you intrigued, they're not available in every market, so you'll want to contact your local Girl Scout's council to find out which cookies they'll be carrying this season. They also not an official Girl Scout Cookie Finder app, for both iOS and Android, that you can use.

I cant see the raisins selling well.

 

[overcast]

Gluten Free tho

 

[Marvel]

Wish we had girl scouts bringing cookies to houses where I live. They look delicious.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Sounds amazing.... Save for the raisins. The fuck?

 

[HORRORSHØW]

i'll try them all, even the gluten-free.

 

[Mushroomer25]

Toffee could be solid, but gluten-free is an immediate turn off. I'll stick to Thin Mints & Samoas if you don't mind.

 

[Robin64]

Gluten-free, to please people who don't know what gluten is. Yay.

Though I don't care for them myself, oatmeal raisin cookies are popular with a lot of people.

 

[studyguy]

Raisins are the devil.

 

[Admiral Bone to Pick]

Gluten Free tho

Yeah how dare they offer gluten free flavors in addition to the various non-gluten free flavors they already offer.

 

[andycapps]

I can't wait until this gluten-free trend dies out. These cookies would probably be good otherwise, but I won't be buying any of these.

 

[SliceSabre]

Trios have the most potential of the bunch. I'll give them a try when I buy my

boxes of Think Mints.

My watercooler at work now has a big Gluten Free stamp on the new jugs.
The trend is definitely... strange.

Oatmeal Raisin is GOAT.

Gonna buy so many of these and thin mints.

Considering the fact it's not a trend and there are people who are actually allergic and can't eat gluten exist, it's not going away.

What i find most amusing about people who get so upset about gluten is that they can never tell what is and isn't gluten free and only complain when they see a sticker or label.

 

[shiftplusone]

i love oatmeal raisin cookies but I dunno about buying mass produced oatmeal raisin cookies. haven't had a good one yet

also fuck "yogurt chunks"

tastes like chemical assholes

I can't wait until this gluten-free trend dies out.

and all those pieces of shit with celiac along with it!

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

I always think of this whenever I hear about girl scout cookies, lol

 

[freenudemacusers]

and yet i still probably won't be able to get lemonades

Celiac patients used to be the only ones that needed to care about gluten-free. Now its seemingly half of America

 

[Anoregon]

Trio has potential, but I am a fan of neither raisins nor toffee.

 

[The Boohbah Zone]

none of them will be as good as samoas, so why even try?

 

[Blader]

Sounds boring. Tagalongs 4 lyfe

 

[sixteen-bit]

lmao @ raisin haters

 

[Dead Prince]

i'd get toffee tastic and get some vanilla bean ice cream and make a sandwich.

 

[Davey Cakes]

Gluten-free cookies can taste wonderful.

Whether or not it's necessary to go gluten-free is a different story.

 

[andycapps]

Sure, there are some people out there that have celiac, but there are also a lot of "gluten sensitive" people out there muddying the waters and junking up my Facebook regarding the evils of gluten.

 

[Auron_Kale]

Oatmeal cookies are great, but I really don't like oatmeal raisin. Raisins and prunes are the only dried fruit I actively avoid (not a fan of dried coconut in my desserts either actually).

Willing to try the new flavors but I have a feeling I'll just go back to my thin mints or dulce de leche ones again.

 

[Mix Master]

lemon cookies are definitely the best.

 

[Captcha]

The somoa flavored chocolate milk they put out a while ago is the best thing.

 

[Ferrio]

Raisin one sounds good to me. Fuck that gluten free shit.

 

[Dennis]

Raisins are awesome.

 

[LOLDSFAN]

All of these sound horrible.

#TeamSomoa.

 

[7aged]

OK, explain this to me as a non-American. Is it actually a brand with their own product lineup? I thought it was just a tradition of scouts selling home made cookies during the holidays or something

As someone with Celiac Disease, I'm always pleased to see mainstream companies make an effort to open up some of their products to people unable to consume gluten. Though it's disheartening to see how negative people are about this sort of thing. Hopefully there are plenty of kids out there who can enjoy these since so many treats are usually off-limits unless you seek out the specialty stuff.

Good for them.

As I see it the trouble with that is a lot of this isn't because of actual celiacs but because of the gluten free fad. What happens if/when the fad ends?

 

[Cat Party]

My girls are both in Girl Scouts, so this stuff is my life for the next few months.

In the Portland area, we are getting the toffee and the raisin varieties, but the toffee ones are expected to be scarce.

Celiac diagnosis numbers are rising so it's not like people are going to stop requiring gluten-free food and/or properly labeled packaging. When the fad ends, it ends. People who legitimately can't eat gluten products will continue to request that companies at least label their packaging honestly. Not being able to eat processed/junk food is no big loss.
