Here's How You Can Order Girl Scout Cookies OnlineHome > FYISource: Getty Images Girl Scout Cookie Season Has Begun — Here' s How You Can Find Your Favorite Cookies OnlineBy Kelly CorbettJan. 4 2022, Published 4:45 p.m. ET Greetings, cookie lovers! I am a former Girl Scout and longtime Thin Mint enthusiast. Back in my cookie hawking days, I used to knock on doors (with parental supervision) and peddle Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Shortbreads, and all the other delicious flavors to my local community. “I’ll put you down for three boxes of Thin Mints and two boxes of S’mores,” I’d tell my patrons as I diligently marked my chart up with their deets.

Because everyone (read: neighbors, extended family, the random ladies at my mom’s hair salon) wanted some. It made me think that I could work in sales. But as I've learned, it wasn’t my marketing tactics or cute toothless smile that moved the cookies. It was the fact that Girl Scout cookies were so delicious and saught-after, and I just happened to have an order form.Source: Getty ImagesArticle continues below advertisement In the early 2000s, you needed to know a Girl Scout in order to buy cookies, as she would be responsible for hand-delivering all of the orders to her customers. Selling to strangers or folks outside the area was not allowed. But today, times have changed. You don’t even need to know what a Girl Scout troop is to get your hands on some Do-si-dos — you just need to know how to use the Internet. Keep scrolling to learn how you can track down some Girl Scout Cookies online.
