They are so good with a cup of coffee or tea, and you still get two full sleeves in a box when the price on GS cookies keeps going up and the quantities keep getting smaller.

I saw an episode of Frontline many years ago about how the GS Council keeps most of the money (they have offices on Park Ave) and the home troop of the girls who sold the cookies only get pennies per box. I always buy a couple of boxes because I can’t turn down any kid selling stuff but, ugh.
