It’s that time of year again when Girl Scout Cookie season takes over the community, filling homes and offices with the sweet scent of nostalgia. But this year, there’s a bittersweet announcement for cookie lovers everywhere: two fan-favorite cookies will be discontinued after the 2025 season. So, before you stock up on boxes for next year, here’s what you need to know.
After much fanfare, the Girl Scout S’mores and Toast-Yay! cookies will officially be retired from the lineup following the 2025 cookie season. For many, these two flavors have become beloved staples of the annual cookie sale, but all good things must come to an end.
Let’s start with the S’mores cookie, a camping classic that brought a taste of the outdoors right into your home. Inspired by the iconic treat made around the campfire, the S’mores cookie features a graham cracker-flavored cookie, sandwiched with a gooey marshmallow-chocolate filling, then drizzled with a sweet coating. It was the perfect treat for those who longed for that warm, campfire vibe without the need to leave their kitchens. Whether you were eating them by the boxful or savoring each bite, these cookies quickly became a top contender among Girl Scout cookie fans.
Next up, Toast-Yay!, a cookie that captured the essence of a cozy breakfast moment. These adorable, French toast-shaped cookies were a hit for their delicious, buttery cinnamon flavor. Each bite offered the perfect mix of cinnamon and sweetness, and the delicate icing coating on top made it an irresistible treat. Many fans loved that they were like a tiny, indulgent breakfast in cookie form—crispy, warm flavors with a touch of nostalgia.
While both of these cookies will leave the Girl Scout roster, their fans won’t forget them easily. Whether you loved the gooey decadence of S’mores or the sweet, cinnamon-y goodness of Toast-Yay!, these cookies have earned a permanent place in the hearts (and snack cabinets) of those who indulged.
So, why are these two cookies being discontinued? According to the Girl Scouts, the decision is part of an ongoing effort to streamline the cookie menu and bring in new flavors and experiences for future generations of cookie lovers. Each season, the organization reviews its offerings, taking into account factors like customer demand and regional preferences. While it’s always hard to say goodbye to old favorites, the Girl Scouts assure fans that their efforts are aimed at creating new, exciting options that will keep cookie season fresh and fun for years to come.
Fear not! While the S’mores and Toast-Yay! cookies may be leaving, the beloved classics will remain. Thin Mints, Samoas (also known as Caramel deLites), Trefoils, and Tagalongs will continue to be available, along with the seasonal options that pop up each year. And, as always, the Girl Scouts are known for surprising us with innovative, new cookies that excite fans each season. So while it’s sad to say goodbye to these two, there’s no doubt that the future of Girl Scout cookies will continue to delight and bring communities together.
In the meantime, for fans of S’mores and Toast-Yay!, now’s the time to stock up. Get your hands on a box (or two, or three!) before the 2025 season ends, and savor the sweet memories of these cookies while they last. And of course, keep an eye out for the new cookie offerings in the seasons to come—who knows what exciting flavors might be just around the corner!
Thank you, S’mores and Toast-Yay!, for the memories—and for making Girl Scout Cookie season even sweeter.
