The only way to know for sure that you are buying fresh cookies is to buy them directly from a Girl Scout or from the local Girl Scout council. Because the cookies are only baked for the yearly sale and are not going to be sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold, they do not mark the boxes with a date or a code.
GSUSA cautions against buying cookies online because there is no way to know how fresh those cookies are.

If they say they already bought cookies, say "Thank you for supporting Girl Scouts." Pay attention to the customers.
