Vegan or Not?: Girl Scout Cookies
It’s the time of year where parents of middle school-aged girls shamelessly take order forms into their office common spaces,
asking their co-workers to gobble up some Girl Scout cookies. It’s the time when these girls strive to earn chintzy prizes in recognition of their parents’ salesmanship.
It’s one of many times of the year when vegans ask themselves: “are there animal products in this?”
For your convenience, I’ve done the grit analysis for you. Many of the names and options vary depending on which baker is being used. So you won’t see all of these on one order form, but I have looked into both bakeries.
Here are the results of my investigation:
VEGAN
* Thanks-A-Lot (Printed with “Thanks” in different languages; coated lightly with 
fudge)
* Lemonades (Lemon-flavored shortbread, shaped and printed to look like a lemon slice)
* Cinna-Spins (five ready-to-grab-and-go 100 calorie packs full of crispy cinnamon swirls)
NOT VEGAN
* Shortbread / Trefoils
* Thin Mints
* Lemon Chalet Cremes
* Sugar-free Chocolate Chips
* All Abouts
* Caramel de Lites / Samoas
* Peanut Butter Patties / Tagalongs
* Peanut Butter Sandwich / Do-si-dos
Don’t have a co-worker with a Girl Scout
daughter? Online sales are not allowed, but you can search by zip code to find a local troop that is selling the yummy pastimes.
