What Your Favorite Girl Scout Cookie Says About You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Xavier chapter.
It’s officially Girl Scout Cookie season! It’s time to take a trip to Kroger or stalk your neighbor’s Facebook profile for the coveted cookie order post. We can all be true cookie monsters sometimes because it’s so hard to choose just one, but pick your true cookie soul mate and see what your it says about you!
Thin Mints: If you crave the minty chocolaty goodness of a Thin Mint, chances are you’re classic, cool and cryptic. Friends and acquaintances crave your level-headedness almost as much as you crave these mint chocolate cookies. Plus, they say thin right on the package, so you’re obviously being healthy…right?
 
Samoas: If you’re a toasted coconut kind of girl and Samoas are your fav, you’re adventurous and exotic. You’re a unique combination that just works, even though it seems like it wouldn’t. Whether someone suggests you grab a latte or a piña colada, you’re always down to try something new! You’re most likely the friend who suggests weekend excursions with your roomies.
 
Trefoils: This classic is the little black dress of Girl Scout cookies. This cookie will never go out of style, just like you! You’re a minimalist with a no-drama attitude, and your friends love that. You’re dependable and probably the one planning the weekend excursions that your Samoas friends dreamed up.
 
Tagalongs: Contrary to the name, if Tagalongs are your go-to cookie, you do more than just a “tag-a-long” (clever we know). There’s more to you than meets the eye. Just like these delicious gems, you are the perfect combination of quirky and sweet with a touch of creativity. You know how to balance school and work, and you always have time for your friends.
 
Cranberry Citrus Crisps: Those who love these cookies are revolutionized Trefoils fans. You’re dependable and sweet like them, but when someone messes with your squad you have a tart side. You’re wholesome, just like this whole grain treat, but you aren’t afraid to stand up for yourself and others. Think goody-two-shoes turned social butterfly.
 
Rah-Rah Raisins: If you go straight for these oatmeal cookies, you are wholesome and mature but still fun. Just like these oatmeal raisin cookies gone rogue with greek yogurt chunks, you have a bit of a wild side. Don’t worry though, you are always put together on Monday morning, no matter how crazy your weekend got!  You enjoy a Friday night out with your girls just as much as a Netflix binge on the couch.  
 
Do-si-dos: These peanut butter sandwich cookies are for those who have known their favorite cookie since kindergarten and don’t plan on changing anytime soon. These cookies are essentially Nutter Butters with a side of helping young girls. You stick to your guns and know where you are and where you want to be in the future. You got this, girl! 
Thanks-A- Lot: These shortbread cookies with fudge on the bottom are the favorites of those well-traveled. Chances are you speak at least five languages…well how to say thank you in at least five languages. You are the glue of your friend group and try to make everyone feel included. You are well mannered and your friends probably call you the ‘mom’ of the group. 
 
Lemonades: If you like these tangy cookies, you were probably the ruler of the neighborhood lemonade stand. You are a natural born businessperson and know how to make a sale. Friends describe you as a social butterfly with a sunny personality and you enjoy being the center of attention.
 
Trios: Congratulations gluten-free-ers; you finally have a cookie to indulge in! Chances are you have been waiting for this day to come, which speaks to your patience. Just like this brand new cookie, you are trendy and always in the know. You’re just the person to ask for recommendations on anything from coffee shops to workout gear. You probably enjoy this cookie for lunch with your sandwich (on Udi’s GF bread of course).
Savannah Smiles: With these cookies in hand, your smile will light up a room. You are the cheerleader of your friend group and always have an encouraging word for others. You’re optimistic and your positivity spreads to everyone around you. When you were little you were most likely the kid who got excited for rain because you could jump in puddles.
 
Toffee-tastic: This rich flavor is only offered in a few Girl Scout markets, making it almost as exclusive as you. You enjoy unconventional things like footie socks and plain espresso. Toffee may not be the most exciting flavor, but you are not easily intimidated. Just like other changes in your life you face this head on and with a smile.
No cookies: You’re lying to yourself or have never had a Girl Scout cookie. Either way, this can be easily remedied with a trip to Kroger.
