If you are a Girl Scout cookie fan, 2025 will be the last year to get two popular flavors before they retire at the end of the year. While the Girl Scouts are known for introducing exciting new flavors, part of that process means letting go of some classics. And this year, S’mores and Toast-Yay! cookies are on the chopping block.

S’mores cookies were introduced in 2017, featuring a crunchy graham sandwich with chocolate and marshmallow filling. And Toast-Yay! cookies, inspired by French toast dipped in icing, made their debut in just a few years ago in 2021

Discontinued Girl Scout Cookies

Over the years, the Girl Scouts have retired several cookie flavors to make way for new ones or to streamline production. Some of these flavors were fan favorites, while others had shorter runs.

This year marks the first time they are making the announcement ahead of time, to give fans plenty of time to stock up on their favorites before they are gone. This is possibly to try and avoid a “black market cookie” situation like has sprung up in the past, where people sell the cookies on Ebay for super inflated prices.

S’mores and Toast-Yay! cookies will soon join this list of retired cookies:

1. Savannah Smiles These lemon-flavored cookies with powdered sugar were discontinued in 2019, much to the disappointment of citrus cookie fans. (I really liked these!!)
2. Thanks-A-Lot A shortbread cookie dipped in fudge with “Thank You” embossed in multiple languages, this flavor was retired in 2021.
3. Shout-Outs A whole-grain cookie with a caramelized flavor, Shout-Outs were introduced in 2010 but didn’t stick around for long.
4. Juliettes Named after Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of Girl Scouts, these caramel, pecan, and chocolate cookies were retired in the mid-1990s.
5. Dulce de Leche Inspired by Latin American flavors, these caramel cookies didn’t last long after their 2009 debut.
6. Lemon Chalet Cremes These sandwich cookies with lemon crème filling were phased out in 2010 and replaced by other lemon-inspired cookies.
7. Van’Chos A blend of vanilla and chocolate sandwich cookies, these were popular in the 1980s before being retired.
8. Golden Yangles A savory cheese cracker offered briefly in the 1980s, proving that not all Girl Scout treats had to be sweet.
9. Praline Royale A decadent praline-flavored cookie that made an appearance in the 1990s before being discontinued.
10. Kookaburras A layered cookie with crispy rice, caramel, and chocolate, Kookaburras were a fan favorite in the 1980s but were ultimately retired.

Why Retire Girl Scout Cookie Flavors?

The decision to retire cookies is driven by several factors, including evolving consumer tastes, production costs, and the need to make room for new options. The Girl Scouts frequently innovate to keep their lineup fresh, appealing to younger audiences and experimenting with modern twists on traditional favorites.

For many, Girl Scout cookies are more than just a sweet treat—they’re a nostalgic connection to childhood. I was a Brownie for several years, and part of that was selling Girl Scout cookies. I’ll be honest, I hated selling cookies! I much more enjoyed just eating them.

Both retired cookie flavors will be available to purchase in person at cookie booths or online, with cookie season kicking off this week (January 7). Cookie season runs through April, but don’t wait because these flavors are only available while supplies last.

Where can I purchase Girl Scout Cookies?

There are multiple ways to get your cookie fix, including the following:

• Contact a registered Girl Scout to see if she’s selling cookies.
• Visit your local grocery store during cookie season- there’s almost always a Girl Scout table outside our Publix!
• Use the Girl Scout Cookie Finder or contact your local council to locate an upcoming cookie booth.
• Order cookies to be shipped to your home with the Girl Scout Cookie Finder starting Feb. 21.

Purchasing girl scout cookies will run you around $7 depending on type and your location. But just know that every box sold helps Girl Scouts learn life skills and earn badges, with all proceeds going to local councils and troops.
