How many cookies???

Samoas and thin mints. I can eat a whole box of each in one sitting. Totally bragging here. Lol!

Thin mints! And Thanks-a-lots! And yes, tagalongs too! I also love the shortbread cookies, I crush them in a bowl and then add strawberries and fresh whipped cream.

You all are all wrong.

It's ONE SLEEVE per guest.

pffftttttttttt amateurs.

edit- thin mints- and those ridiculous sickening peanut butter chocolate things.

We're having 130 people and right now I've got down 26 boxes for the reception that comes to a total of 527 cookies...I'm going to have to order a few extra since we'll be storing these in the chest freezer until Aug, and I know we'll be tempted to open a box early at some point.

Love thin mints! I could eat a whole box #noshame! Great idea, OP!

Samoas, tags longs, and whatever the short bread cookies are called.

Thin Mints!!

Also, for those who don't know, the name differs depending on which baker the Council uses. The main two are ABC Bakers (Thin Mints, Caramel DeLites, Peanut Butter Patties, etc.) and Little Brownie Bakers (Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, etc.). My troops have used both in the past. I was in Scouts for years, and I'm now a troop leader.

ETA: Typically, Thin Mints are most popular, followed closely by Samoas, then Tagalongs. Trefoils are after that, then Dosidoes, then the newer brands.

JoRocka I agree lol my daughter is a girl scout and think mints and tagalongs's are the ish! And we always eat a sleeve lol edited for typo

If I had a choice between Girl Scout cookies or cake, the cookies would win out as long as they were Thin Mints. Thin mints are the best girl Scout cookie hands down. So you should order lots of those. People will be stashing them in pockets, bags, you name it. ( I would anyway, I have no shame when it comes to Thin Mints.) You probably should order a few boxes of the other ones too. They will look nice on the plates. lol

Now I want Girl Scout cookies! Tagalongs! And samoas!

Whatever happened to the lemon ones with the creme in the middle? I can't find them anywhere.

This is an awesome idea. I'm going to say 4 (one s'more, two to eat) and thin mints or samoas!!

I thought I'd share the spread from our council kick off event in September...this is my vision, so excited!

That's a great idea! My favorites are Samoas, but I never buy them since I just sit and eat the whole box when I do.

Omg I would add more pp. before I went gf I could eat an entire sleeve of thin mints not even hungry. Also Samoas or what ever they are called these days.

This thread really makes me want GS cookies! That spread looks awesome. Does the 26 boxes include the thank you boxes or is that in addition? Maybe go with an even 30?

I would add a few just to be safe, and we call them peanut butter patties in Kentucky!

I love caramel delights and thin mints. I'd bank on people eating more than 3 cookies. I can eat those bad boys by the box, but I also have no self control.

A minimum of 3 cookies per person is what a food serviced provider once told me.

I recommend extra thin mints because they rock.

The 26 is just for the reception, we'll be ordering another 17 for tips/thank you gifts.
