After years of purchasing Girl Scout cookies, and after having Girl Scouts of my own and being a troop leader for several years, am feeling very disappointed and frustrated this year for these young Girl Scouts. It was painful - again - to buy boxes of cookies with less cookies, for more money, and with far less quality and flavor. The inspiration for this review is after trying my traditional favorite, now named peanut butter sandwich. Very disappointing to pay six dollars for something that tastes so bad. No flavor left in the cookie itself; very dry and chalky. I had higher hopes for the peanut butter portion itself, but that also was very disappointing and very little peanut butter flavor (no flavor overall actually). But maybe I should say thank you for helping me throw these away as I probably shouldn’t be eating them anyway. If your goal is to cut corners to save costs, then goal achieved! If your goal is to require Girl Scouts and their parents and leaders to spend time and money teaching these young people It’s OK to sell an inflated, poor quality product, then that goal is also achieved. People have always wanted to support the Girl Scouts for many reasons but they will not want to continue paying higher prices for a poor quality product.

Bought girl scout cookies this year and MAN they're bad! ABC Bakers WISHES they were Little Brownie Bakers. If my region is still using ABC next year, I'd steer clear unless you want all the love you have for girl scout cookies crushed.

Not the same. Totally different taste and texture what a shame! Won't be buying anymore girl scout cookies.

The peanut butter patries were blooming (chocolate had white film- see photos ) tasted old - despite date on package.I sold 500 boxes back in my day and was proud to be a daisy, brownie and Girl Scout.This is shameful!

I grew up selling with Girl Scout cookies. I even called Girl Scouts to complainThese are not the good tasting ones that I grew up. Two muck hard cooking and not enough flavoring. What does it come down for the company. Cost. More cookies is less money.Tagalongs had alot more peanut butter.Samoas were more soft and chewy. They changed the name as u just read because apparently 2 companies are making the Girl Scout cookies.I will never order them again.Sort of crushed my girl scout experience and sad they new girls counts will not know quality.Bad mistake to the girls counts of america corporate office.YukCrazy that tasting a simple cookie you have memories with is so upsetting. And it is because the quality is down a lot.

I just bought GScout cookies and opened the box of shortbreads to find them burnt looking dry and no flavor. What gives? Can’t wait to see if thin mints, Lemon and Carmel delights are messed up too. And no Thanks a lot… won’t be buying more and I was a scout years ago?

I bought some caramel delights from girls scouts and they’re dry as sand, barely any caramel. I definitely won’t be buying anymore Girl Scouts cookies if it doesn’t say samosas. I also bought the peanut butter sandwiches and they were just as dry. It was a sad day in my house.

The do-si-do cookies were extremely hard and had very little filling.What a waste of my money

Excellent customer service. Cookies are delicious!
I genuinely thought I was sold counterfeit thin mints until I realized that the cookies I purchased (made in ABC bakery) tasted totally fine.1 star Andies, hype

I genuinely thought I was sold counterfeit samoas until I discovered the girl scouts use two different bakeries to produce their cookies. ABC being the inferior of the two. Their “caramel delights” (supposed to be their equivalent of samoas) are stale, have less coconut, and use a lesser quality chocolate than little brownie bakers.They should be embarrassed to put their name on this product. If your local girl scouts try to give you caramel delights instead of samoas, tell them to put ‘em back.

I would never ever order off this company ever again. I ordered cookies on 02/23/2022 and no contact with them, left email and voice message no answers. What a way to run a business. Not to mention I think this place is a scam. Shame on me.

Quality of Peanut butter patties has declined. Less Peanut butter. All crunchy cookie. Do not care for new plastic packaging.
