The history of Girl Scout Cookies
- In 1917, a troop of Girl Scouts in Muskogee, Oklahoma, held a cookie sale to fund troop activities. The original cookies were home-baked.
- Other troops followed suit, and in July 1922, the American Girl magazine published a recipe for basic sugar cookies, intended for troop sales.
- In 1934, the Girl Scouts of Greater Philadelphia Council sold a commercially baked version.
- By 1951, the basic cookies were a sandwich cookie, a shortbread cookie, and a Thin Mint.
- Other cookies came and went, but the shortbread (Trefoils) and Thin Mints are enduring classics.
