"Girl Scout cookies are usually good for six months from delivery, according to their 'use by' dates. They'll last about another eight months in the freezer, but are at their best around three months. Now, just because Girl Scout cookies can be frozen, that doesn't mean every kind will taste the same when thawed."
"Many people already freeze their Thin Mints. Former chief communications executive of Girl Scouts of the USA, Kelly Parisi, even told Time magazine in 2015 that 'the only way to eat' Thin Mints is frozen. The chocolate coating develops this perfect snap, the cookie inside stays crunchy, and the chill amplifies the refreshing mint flavor."
Girl Scout cookie season presents the opportunity to stock up and extend enjoyment through freezing. Most varieties display 'use or freeze by' dates on their packaging, indicating they're safe to freeze, while some like Lemonades should not be frozen. Cookies typically last six months from delivery and an additional eight months in the freezer, though they're best consumed within three months of freezing. Freezing affects different cookie varieties differently in terms of flavor and texture. Thin Mints, for example, benefit from freezing as the chocolate coating develops a satisfying snap and the mint flavor becomes more refreshing when chilled.
