For Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA), 1936 saw the beginning of the licensing of cookie baking companies around the country by the national organization. By 1951 there were three types of cookies sold: Sandwich (chocolate and vanilla sandwich cookies), Shortbread, and Chocolate Mints (now known as Thin Mints). Of those three, the Shortbreads/Trefoils and the Thin Mints are still sold today. In fact, the cookie baking companies must offer three types each year: Thin Mints®, Peanut Butter Sandwich/Do-si-dos® and Shortbread/Trefoils®.
The inside of a Thin Mint cookie is both chocolate and mint. Thin Mints are Girl Scout cookies. They are a thin peppermint chocolate wafer covered with a smooth chocolaty coating.
Thin Mints are the number one seller, followed by Samoas/Caramel DeLites and then Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs. Personal opinion: Caramel DeLites, Thin Mints, Shortbreads, and Peanut Butter Patties are the best Girl Scout cookies.

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.
