Girl Scouts Unveil French Toast-Inspired Cookie

Your trip to Europe has been canceled, and you haven't had human contact in five months. All is not lost. At least there's a new Girl Scout cookie to look forward to.

The 2021 cookie season (yes, it's a thing) will kick off with the release of the new French toast-inspired Toast-Yay. Available in select areas, each delightful, toast-shaped cookie is full of French toast flavor, dipped in delicious icing, and stamped with the iconic Girl Scout trefoil on top.

The 2020 Girl Scout Cookie season was challenging in so many ways because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The online platform Girl Scouts Cookie Care lets customers order cookies for delivery or donate cookies as the pandemic became widespread.

In the 2021 season Girl Scouts will again embrace their entrepreneurial spirit by selling cookies through online platforms and innovative "virtual cookie booths" on social media (with parental supervision). Many girls will offer socially distant or contactless sales and delivery options. If local guidelines allow and it's safe to do so, in-person sales may also be available in certain areas.

When Girl Scout Cookie season returns, Toast-Yay! cookies, along with other Girl Scout Cookie favorites, will give consumers a new way to indulge. And though social distancing measures may keep families and friends apart, cookie customers will be able to stay connected this season through a giftbox option that ships directly to the recipient of their choice via the Digital Cookie/Smart Cookie online platforms.

The start of cookie season is recognized nationally in January, but timing and product availability vary by region.
