The Girl Scouts are ringing in the new year in the sweetest way possible. On January 7th, the Girl Scouts announced a brand new lemon-flavored cookie called Lemon-Ups. The Girl Scouts' 2020 cookie flavor is a "crispy lemon cookies baked with inspiring messages to lift your spirits." The cookies will be available in select markets, and once you open up your box of Lemon-Ups, you'll see your zesty confections stamped with empowering phrases like "I am a go-getter" and "I am an innovator" (there are eight different phrases in total), making your next snacking session an opportunity to give yourself some self-love in more ways than one.
Sadly, the Girl Scouts will be phasing out its lemon-flavored Savannah Smiles cookies to make way for the new Lemon-Ups, but that doesn't mean that there will be any shortage of lemony goodness in the Girl Scouts lineup! You can still get the classic Lemonades, and possibly Savannah Smiles if there are any boxes available. The Lemon-Ups will join the Girl Scouts' current cookie lineup, which now includes:
- Lemonades — Shortbread cookies covered with lemony icing
- Caramel deLites/Samoas — Chewy cookies coated with coconut flakes, caramel, and dark chocolate
- Thin Mints —Mint-flavored cookies with chocolate icing
- Do-si-dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich — Crispy oatmeal cookies with a peanut butter filling
- Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs — Peanut butter cookies with chocolate icing
- Thanks-A-Lot — Shortbread cookies with a layer of chocolate icing
- Caramel Chocolate Chip — Chocolate chip cookies with chunks of caramel and a hint of sea salt
- Shortbread/Trefoiles — Your classic shortbread cookies
- Toffee-tastic — Gluten-free butter cookies filled with pieces of toffee
- Girl Scout S’mores — Crispy graham cookies coated with crème and chocolate icing
Unfortunately, the new Lemon-Ups won't be available in every single Girl Scout council market, but they say that customers will be able to get their lemon flavor mix "as long as supplies last," with either their choice of the Lemonades or Lemon-Ups. You can search for your local council and the cookie availability on the Girl Scout Cookie website. The cookies will be on sale until April 2020.
