The licensed bakers (Little Brownie Bakers and ABC Bakers) can offer up to eight varieties of cookies for Girl Scouts to sell. They must always sell Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-si-dos® and Shortbread/Trefoils. The other five optional cookies can be changed each year, however, the Samoas®/Caramel deLites® and the Peanut Butter Patties®/Tagalongs® are so popular that it is unlikely they will be changed. For 2014, ABC Bakers also have Lemonades, Thanks-a-Lot, Cranberry Citrus Crisps, and Chocolate Chip Shortbread. Little Brownie Bakers also have Savannah Smiles, Dulce de Leche, and Thank U Berry Munch.
According to Girl Scouts of the USA, Thin Mints are the top-selling cookie, followed in descending sales order by Caramel deLites/Samoas, Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs, Do-Si-Dos/Peanut Butter Sandwiches, and Trefoils/Shortbread.
Of the five types of Girl Scout cookies which are sold every year (Thin Mints, Samoas/Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs, Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-si-dos, and Shortbread/Trefoils), the Shortbread/Trefoils account for the lowest amount of sales at 9% of the total sales. The other varieties, which change from year to year, account for 23% of the total sales, so sales of those varieties are likely to be lower than that of the Shortbread/Trefoils.
Currently there are two licensed Girl Scout cookie bakers. The bakers can offer up to eight kinds of Girl Scout Cookies. The bakers must always offer Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-Si-Dos and Shortbreads/Trefoils.
