The Burlington Girl School Scouts will begin the cookie season on Tuesday, Dec. 6.

Troop Leader Linda McNamee says online sales have begun, but for local people who want to save in shipping costs will have a host of options for buying their favorite cookies.

People will begin seeing local Girl Scout Troops at various businesses in town beginning Saturday, Dec. 10, at 10 a.m. Sales will only be on weekends through Feb. 12.

“Each box of cookies purchased help girls master skills in goal-setting, decision-making, money management, people-skills and business ethics,” said McNamee. “The Girl Scout program builds girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.”

This year will feature a new cookie — Raspberry Rally — available only online.  These are thin, crispy cookies infused with raspberry flavor, dipped in a chocolaty coating.

Returning favorites include:

Adventurefulls, an indulgent inspired cookie with caramel-flavored cream and a hint of sea salt.

Toast-Yay is a French-toast inspired cookie dipped in delicious icing.

Lemonades are savory slices of shortbread with a refreshingly tangy leomon-flavored icing.

Trefoils are iconic shortbread cookies inspired by the original Girl Scout recipe.

Thin Mints, a favorite, are crispy chocolate wafers dipped in a mint chocolaty coating.

Peanut Butter Patties are crispy cookies layered with peanut butter and covered with a chocolaty coating.

Caramel DeLites are crispy cookies topped with caramel, toasted coconut, and chocolatey stripes.

Peanut Butter Sandwich features crisp and crunchy oatmeal cookies with creamy peanut-butter filling.

Caramel Chocolate Chip — gluten and peanut free — featuring caramel semi-sweet chocolate chips and a hint of sea salt in a delicious cookie.

All boxes are $5.
