Girl Scout Cookies, a beloved American tradition since their inception in 1917, support millions of Girl Scouts annually. Though Trefoils are often seen as the original, the first cookies were buttery sugar cookies sold in schools by Girl Scouts. A pivotal moment occurred in 1922 when a recipe was published, allowing cookies to be sold more widely. Their sales strategy quickly evolved from door-to-door sales to commercial production, showcasing the cookies' enduring popularity and integral role in Girl Scout fundraising efforts.
The first-ever Girl Scout cookies were buttery sugar cookies, handmade by young Girl Scouts with the help of their mothers, sold as treats in schools.
In 1922, the cookie selling concept became national after Florence E. Neil published a recipe, leading to standardized sales across the country.
Initially, cookies were sold in wax paper bags for about 25 or 30 cents per dozen, with sales expanding from door-to-door selling to commercial bakeries.
Girl Scout Cookies are a nostalgic treat dating back to 1917, and their sales support activities for over 3.2 million Girl Scouts each year.
