Girl Scout cookie season has arrived, offering a chance to support young entrepreneurs while enjoying delicious treats. This year, many cookies are vegan-friendly, with popular options including Caramel Chocolate Chip, Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Patties, Lemonades, and Adventurefuls.
Among the fans of the vegan Thin Mint is Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, who has openly shared her fondness for the classic cookie. During a recent appearance at the Sundance Film Festival, where she attended the screening of the documentary Cookie Queens, Markle stated that Thin Mints are her favorite, calling them “such a classic.”
In a light-hearted moment on the red carpet, Markle revealed her unique way of enjoying Thin Mints: she prefers to keep them in the freezer. “I don’t know if you’re supposed to, but it’s certainly a nice plus!” she commented. Freezing cookies is a popular method among fans, who believe it enhances the minty flavor and adds an enjoyable crunch. One enthusiastic fan on Reddit noted, “[I] store them in the freezer mostly because they taste amazing.”
How to Purchase Thin Mints and Support Young Entrepreneurs
Thin Mints, produced by Little Brownie Bakers and ABC Bakers, are celebrated as one of the most beloved Girl Scout cookies. Alongside Markle, other celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon, Julianne Hough, and Chrissy Teigen have also expressed their love for these cookies, with Teigen sharing a similar preference for frozen Thin Mints.
To enjoy this vegan treat, the simplest way is to purchase a box from your local Girl Scout troop. Additionally, you can use the Girl Scouts’ online Cookie Finder to locate cookies available through nearby troops. The annual cookie sales not only provide delicious snacks but also help young people develop essential entrepreneurial skills, including business planning, goal setting, and customer interaction.
If the cookie season ends and the craving for Thin Mints persists, making a homemade version is always an option. Many recipes online can guide you in recreating this fan-favorite cookie in your kitchen.
As Girl Scout cookie season progresses, it remains a delightful opportunity to indulge in sweet treats while supporting the development of young entrepreneurs. With options like vegan Thin Mints gaining popularity, even those with dietary preferences can enjoy the experience of savoring these iconic cookies.
