According to The Washington Post, the Girl Scouts begin this year of selling Girl Scout Cookies by debuting a brand new cookie to mark the 100th anniversary of Girl Scouting—Savannah Smiles, a bite-sized treat with a dusting of confectioner’s sugar and a lemony kick.

What's your favorite Girl Scout Cookies? Are they the old standby Thin Mints or Shortbread cookies with the ever-familiar Girl Scout logo imprinted on them? Or do you drool over the thought of eating a whole box of sinful Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Patties? It's not hard to put down the entire box. After all, half the box is taken up with packaging. By the time you're done, you've only eaten about 15 cookies, more or less, depending on the variety.

Where to Find Girl Scout Cookies in the Providence, RI Area

As usual, the Girl Scouts will be going door-to-door selling their not-so-cheap cookies, but they'll also be hitting you up at supermarkets and local stores in the Providence, Rhode Island area. Last year, they even set up small kiosks under tents in local parking lots. And who can resist Mom and Dad's pleading attempts to hawk their daughters' Girl Scout cookies at the workplace or office?
