The 2023 Raspberry Rally cookie will be the first in the Girl Scout Cookie lineup to be exclusively for online sale and direct shipment only. Our very own Girl Scouts Hornets’ Nest Council just announced the new Raspberry Rally cookie. When cookie season begins and we make them a midnight snack and this delicious cookie is definitely newsworthy.  The thin, crispy cookie is the “sister” cookie to the Thin Mints®, but infused with raspberry flavor instead of mint and dipped in the same delicious chocolaty coating. Raspberry Rally gives devoted Girl Scout Cookie lovers another midnight snack. Raspberry Rally cookie along with Thin Mints®, Adventurefuls™, and Samoas®.

It's no secret that Girl Scouts attribute the cookie program builds the foundation of an entrepreneur. Many go on to college, but also pursue entrepreneurship as a career path. It's also nice to know that 100 percent of proceeds from every purchase stay local powering up every troop. Let’s come together to celebrate the young change-makers who are solving problems and learning new skills, one box of cookies at a time.

The Girl Scouts Hornets’ Nest Council was founded in 1912. Girl Scouts is the world’s preeminent organization dedicated solely to girls, in an accepting and supportive environment. These young ladies build character and skills for success in real-time. Girl Scouts, Hornets’ Nest Council (GSHNC) received its first charter from the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. in 1935. GSHNC is in Charlotte, North Carolina. They currently serve 8,000 girls and adults in eight counties of North and South Carolina. Also includes Anson, Cabarrus, Mecklenburg, Montgomery, Rowan, Stanly, Union, and York South Carolina.

If I had to choose one simple dessert to enjoy for the rest of my life, I would choose cookies. Although I am not sure what my favorite cookie is, I really love double chocolate chip cookies. I also really love Oreos with milk.

The favorite cookie of North Carolina is a classic. Whatever your cookie preference is, chocolate chip cookies are sweet and salty, sugar cookies are buttery and snickerdoodles are spiced with warm spices. Whether it's ice cream sandwiches or whoopie pies, cookies are one of America's favorites. What is the cookie that is loved by Americans across each state?

To determine the most popular cookies in America, Eat This, Not That! looked to Nestlé Toll House, which conducted a nationwide consumer survey. While Kentucky is famous for its Bourbon Spice, Vermont is known for its Maple Pecan. I'm sure you'd like to know which cookie you should choose, based on your state! Check out the list of some state favorites below. You can see the full list of cookies by state here.

NORTH CAROLINA: Chocolate Chip

In the homeland of Krispy Kreme donuts, the Tar Heels and Blue Devils rank chocolate chip cookies number one.

ALABAMA: Peanut Butter with Chocolate Chips

Peanut butter cookies with chocolate chips are Alabama's favorite cookie. It's a state where college football reigns and peanut butter is a tasty snack to enjoy while watching a game.

ALASKA: Russian Tea Cakes

In the form of Russian Tea Cakes, the Russians left crumbs of their culture behind when they negotiated with the United States for the Last Frontier. Russian tea cakes, also called polvorones, are balls of buttery dough filled with finely ground nuts and rolled twice in powdered sugar.

ARIZONA: Mexican Wedding

You can find the best Mexican food in Arizona, so it's no surprise that residents choose Mexican Wedding cookies as their favorite dessert. Mexican Wedding Cookies have a thick dusting of powdered sugar and a buttery texture, making them similar to Russian Tea Cakes. Crescent moon shapes are commonly cut from them.

North Carolina

In North Carolina, the favorite cookie is an all-time classic. It's no surprise that Tar Heels and Blue Devils put chocolate chip cookies at the top of their list.

WYOMING: Cowboy

If you want to explore Wyoming's mountain ranges, farmlands, and stunning national parks, you'll need Cowboy cookies.

WEST VIRGINIA: Haystacks

Haystack cookies usually consist of peanut butter, butterscotch, chocolate, marshmallows, noodles, or oats. You can use your microwave to melt the ingredients together and let them set in the fridge. They don't require any baking.

WASHINGTON: Apple Cinnamon

Apple cider donuts are a big hit in the Evergreen State, so it's no wonder apple cider cookies are popular there, too.

VIRGINIA: Peanut Butter with Chocolate Chips

Peanut pie is famous in Virginia, as the peanuts are roasted and combined with golden syrup to make a gooey, sweet treat. A peanut butter cookie with chocolate chips will have to suffice if you cannot find a slice of this heavenly pie.

RHODE ISLAND: Biscotti

Biscotti is most similar to Rhode Island's hermit cookies, which are made with reused dough, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, raisins or currants, and molasses.

VERMONT: Maple Pecan

Maple syrup and pecans are two ingredients that perfectly describe Vermont. In Vermont, you'll find maple trees and shops that sell Grade A and B syrups.

TENNESSEE: Chocolate Chip

The best cookie in Tennessee is MoonPies, followed by chocolate chip cookies. The sandwiches are graham cracker sandwiches stuffed with marshmallows and topped with chocolate, vanilla, or banana frosting.

SOUTH CAROLINA: Peanut Butter with Chocolate Chips

Peanuts are one of South Carolina's most abundant crops in the summer, so much so that they have become a pantry staple. Locals particularly enjoy boiled peanuts.

NEW MEXICO: Biscochito

Bischochitos are butter-based cookies flavored with cinnamon and anise. Usually, the cookies are shaped like stars and crescent moons.

OREGON: Pumpkin Spice

This fall, you can find plenty of pumpkin patches throughout Oregon if you're taking the Oregon Trail. In the Beaver State, high-quality, local food is prepared from many of its farms.

NEW HAMPSHIRE: Pumpkin Spice

When you describe New Hampshire's foliage in terms of food, you think of pumpkin pie cookies. Have you caught a whiff of cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice?

MASSACHUSETTS: Cranberry

A great way to celebrate the season is with cranberry cookies. Massachusetts does fall flavors best. Cranberries can also help you cut down on sugar and add natural sweetness to cookies.

MAINE: Molasses

It's not just lobster rolls and clam chowder you'll find in New England. Many desserts in Maine contain molasses. Molasses plays well with gingerbread cookies due to their warm, thick, and not-too-sweet taste.

LOUISIANA: Maple Pecan

Cajun and Creole country food boasts jambalaya and gumbo, so what's not to love? However, Louisiana prefers maple pecan cookies over beignets for dessert.

KENTUCKY: Bourbon Spice

The Bluegrass State is the biggest distributor of—you guessed it—bourbon. And you bet it's in the Commonwealth's culinary concoctions as it is in its cocktails.
