Thin mints and shortbread cookies are alright, but they’re just too boring for me.

Before we get to the poll tho, let’s do a quick rundown of these iconic American sweets (hopefully I didn’t just sound like Marc Summers).

Thin Mints: The most enduring and universally familiar Girl Scout cookie. These round, mint-flavored cookies covered with dark chocolate perennially sell the most boxes of any cookie. Thin Mints have never changed their name.

It’s tough to hate on Thin Mints: they’re tasty and familiar. I like them quite a bit actually.

Trefoils AKA Shortbread: These shortbread cookies are shaped like the Girl Scout Trefoil design. Scot Teas were a similar, lighter sugar cookie made by the now defunct Burry. Little Brownie Bakers calls them Trefoils; ABC Bakers call them Shortbread.

Shortbread cookies are supposed to be boring, but the taste of these pales in comparison to Walkers pure butter Shortbread from Scotland.

Do-Si-Dos® AKA Peanut Butter Sandwich: A sandwich cookie. The round, bumpy perforated oatmeal cookie top and bottom surrounds a peanut butter-flavored layer inside. Do-Si-Dos® (formerly Gauchos) are baked by Little Brownie Bakers. ABC Bakers calls them Peanut Butter Sandwiches.

I like peanut butter a lot, but I’d rather have ice cream in the middle of a cookie sandwich.

Samoas® AKA Caramel deLites®: These are round doughnut-shaped cookies about two inches in diameter with a hole in the center, covered in caramel and toasted coconut, and then striped with chocolate. Samoas® are made by Little Brownie Bakers. The ABC version is called Caramel deLites®.

Now we’re talking. Samoas are chewy, rich, and rolled in toasted coconut. A+ grindy. Here’s a recipe to make your own!

Tagalongs® AKA Peanut Butter Patties®: These are round cookies with a layer of peanut butter on top, and covered in chocolate. These cookies come in a red box. Little Brownie Bakers calls them Tagalongs®; ABC Bakers call them Peanut Butter Patties®.

Tagalongs are also money. I love Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, but these patties are even softer and melt in your mouth better.

I should add that my mom always bought twice (or even thrice!) as many boxes of Thin Mints and Trefoils vs. Samoas and Tagalongs. Or maybe it just seemed that way because you only get 15 cookies per box for the Samoas and Tagalongs vs. 36 Thin Mints and 45 Trefoils per box. This probably made me crave and enjoy my two favorites that much more. What are your two favorites?
