Can You Guess the 5 Top-Selling Girl Scout Cookies?

The Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri release the 2012 bestseller list.

In 2012, Thin Mints led the way in cookie sales for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri (GSEM). The familiar mint patties even outsold Oreos.

Rounding out the top five best sellers were:

  1. Thin Mints
  2. Caramel deLites
  3. Peanut Butter Patties
  4. Peanut Butter Sandwiches
  5. Shortbreads.

This year, GSEM is excited to offer a new cookie as part of its product lineup – Mango Crèmes! These tropical treats are vanilla and coconut sandwich cookies with a mango-flavored crème filling.
