Peachtree Corners residents can support the Girl Scouts and enjoy those tasty famous cookies beginning this week at several cookie booths around the area, including LaParrilla, Barnes & Noble, Flying Biscuit and The Forum in Peachtree Corners.

The Girl Scouts are making their annual march through neighborhoods. It's one of my favorite times of the year. No where else can I find any cookie that comes close to these delicious sweet treats. I admit I usually overbuy and stash some of the boxes away in the freezer so my husband and kids can't find them. But I think they're on to me. Last fall my son found my last hidden box of thin mints deep in the bottom of the freezer. This year, when our neighborhood Girl Scout stopped by to take our order, I noticed my family looking over my shoulder to find out just how many boxes I had ordered.

Girl Scouts of the USA debuts Savannah Smiles, a cookie that honors Georgia. Atlanta cookie selling season begins in January.
Whohooo! A new year means, of course, another season of Girl Scouts cookies. The Girl Scouts will celebrate its 100th anniversary this year, and to honor the special occasion, they are debuting a new cookie, called “Savannah Smiles,” according to local news sites and the organization's website. The new cookie is a bite-sized lemon wedge cookie dusted in powdered sugar. It is named after one my favorite places -- Savannah -- also the hometown of the Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low. “This lemon wedge cookie is cool and crisp, with just the right number of lemon chips to deliver tiny bursts of flavor. And, when you hold it right, you’ll quickly be reminded of that world-famous 'Brownie Smile,'" stated on the Little Brownie Bakers …
