Girl Scout Cookies Are Back & Gluten Free

Love cookies? How about cookies that raise money for great programs? Ok, You're in? But need Gluten Free? Your voice has been heard.

The Girl Scouts are going gluten-free with new cookie flavors for 2015. The organization is announcing three new cookie options this year, two of which are gluten free - "Toffee-tastic," which includes toffee bits, and the peanut butter-chocolate chip-oats "Trios" - are sweet tooth-friendly for those steering clear of gluten in their diets. The third new cookie, "Rah-Rah Raisins," is an oatmeal raisin blend with whole grain oats, raisins and Greek yogurt-flavored chunks. The new cookies will be available alongside other Girl Scout classics. Here is a look at the gluten free "Toffee-tastic" cookie (limited availability).

This year marks the 98th year of Girl Scouts selling cookies. And troop members will also be selling cookies online for the first time. The group says almost one-and-a-half-million Girl Scouts sell about 200 million boxes of cookies every year, generating about 800-million-dollars in sales that are reinvested into troop activities and projects.
