While online cookie sales in our local area on Girl Scouts’ Digital Cookie platform were up nearly 150% over last year, online sales didn’t make up for significantly lower door-to-door and cookie booth sales, which were negatively impacted by COVID-19, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta Communications Advisor Leslie Gilliam told TODAY Food.
The Atlanta troop recently extended this year s cookie season through the end of April to give their girls some more time to sell all those leftover boxes, and customers in the Atlanta area can visit the website ShowMeTheCookies.com to place an order. We are asking area businesses and other organizations to consider buying by the case for employees, customers, or for donations to teachers, first responders or any other group they want to support, she said.

They re kind of cute! I love the Trefoils tan base with that pretty pop of blue.
