It's difficult for many people to resist purchasing Girl Scout cookies when eager girls sell them in front of stores and persistent coworkers encourage support for their children's troops.
But one woman might have been better off going without the classic treats.
Police in California are searching for a woman after a Girl Scouts representative in the state said the woman paid for cookies with a counterfeit bill.
According to KFSN, the woman purchased $50 worth of Girl Scout cookies on Saturday outside a supermarket in Northwest Fresno.

The Girl Scouts rep said the woman received $50 in change after presenting the fake $100 bill, which the Girl Scouts organization later took to a bank to deposit.
The bank told the troop personnel that the money was fake.
The counterfeit bill was turned over to the Secret Service, according to KFSN.
