Tired of losing sleep worrying where your next Thin Mint is coming from? The Girl Scouts — who clearly know which side their Trefoils shortbread is buttered on — have an awesome "Find Cookies" locator on their web site (www.girlscouts.org). There's also a Girl Scout Cookie Finder app you can get for free in the App Store and on Google Play.
"That's the biggest question we get over the course of a selling season," said Leslie Gilliam, communications manager of the Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta, Inc., which covers 34 counties: "'If I don't know a Girl Scout, how do I find cookies without setting up camp in front of my local grocery store?'"
Just type in your zip code and you’re good to go, starting next weekend. If you’re in 30090 on Feb. 15th, for instance, you’re good to go to the Zaxby’s on Church Street in Marietta. If you’re near 30030 on Feb. 20th, you can Do-Si-Dos yourself over to the Decatur Square. And so on, until about mid-March.
Last year, there were over 5,000 booth sales listed on the zip code finder and just over 11,000 digital cookie orders, helping make the Greater Atlanta council No.1 in digital cookie sales in the nation,” Gilliam said.
hat obviously calls for a celebration. We don’t know which Girl Scout cookies go best with champagne (Rah-Rah Raisins, perhaps?) But there’s no excuse now for not knowing how and where to find them.
Meanwhile, if you feel like doing something more than just gobbling cookies straight out of the box, check out this earlier AJC story featuring all sorts of fab recipes to make with Samoas, Do-Si-Do's and more.
