Northern California's Girl Scout Cookie season runs now through March 15 and includes a new 2026 flavor, Exploremores, a Rocky Road–inspired chocolate sandwich cookie with chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond crème. A preview noted enthusiastic enjoyment of the new cookie. A set of cookie hacks and pairings are recommended: Trefoils sandwich cookies with apricot or preferred jam to let flavors meld; Samoas paired with Koolfi Creamery's Mom's Cardamom ice cream; Thin Mints used in dairy-free ice cream sandwiches, notably with Humphry Slocombe's Cherry Elderflower vegan ice cream, or crumbled for a tart crust; Tagalongs halved and stuffed into pitted Medjool dates.
