🍪 2026 Update: All the Vegan Girl Scout Cookie Options This Year!
Girl Scout Cookie season is here again, and my 2026 guide is fully updated with the latest vegan options, discontinued cookies, ordering windows, and online links. Whether you’re hunting for Thin Mints everywhere, ABC Bakers’ Lemonades and Peanut Butter Patties, or want to know how to get them shipped if your local council doesn’t carry them, this guide has you covered.
One thing many people don’t realize is that there are two bakeries that make Girl Scout Cookies nationwide:
- Little Brownie Bakers
- ABC Bakers
The One Vegan Cookie Available Everywhere
No matter which bakery your local council uses, Thin Mints are vegan by ingredients and made by both bakers. They are the most reliable vegan friendly option, the easiest to find at booths, and a safe recommendation when people ask, “Are any Girl Scout Cookies vegan?”
ABC Bakers: Where Most Vegan Options Come From (2026)
If your area uses ABC Bakers, you’ll find several additional cookies that are vegan by ingredients.
Vegan Girl Scout Cookies from ABC Bakers (2026)
- Thin Mints
- Lemonades
- Peanut Butter Patties
- Adventurefuls (vegan by ingredients, even though they aren’t officially labeled that way)
- Caramel Chocolate Chip (gluten-free and vegan by ingredients)
Some ABC Bakers cookies are labeled “made with vegan ingredients,” while others like Adventurefuls and Caramel Chocolate Chip, aren’t officially labeled that way, even though their ingredient lists and allergen statements don’t include animal products. Always double-check packaging if you have allergies.
Discontinued Varieties
A few favorites from past years are sadly gone:
Toast-Yay: previously vegan from ABC Bakers, now discontinued.
Vegan S’mores: 2021 was the last year these were offered.
Raspberry Rally: discontinued and no longer part of the lineup.
About Allergens:
Even when a cookie is vegan by ingredients, Girl Scout Cookies are produced in shared facilities. If you have severe allergies, always read the ingredient list and allergen statement printed on the box, as formulations and warnings can change.
When and How to Order Girl Scout Cookies (2026)
In-Person Booth Sales
- Typically run from January through March or early April or until they sell out.
- Dates vary by council and region.
- Selection depends on which baker your area uses.
Ordering Online (Yes, You Can Do This)
If your local baker doesn’t sell the vegan cookies you want, you’re not out of luck. You can:
- Order through a troop’s Digital Cookie link (ai have some from troops below).
- Buy from another council that uses ABC Bakers.
- Have cookies shipped directly to your home (shipping fees apply).
Ordering windows vary, but most online sales open in January or February and stay open while supplies last. This is the easiest way to get Lemonades, Peanut Butter Patties, or Caramel Chocolate Chip if your local council uses Little Brownie Bakers.
The ABC Bakers Peanut Butter Patties shouldn’t be confused with the Little Brownie Bakers Tagalongs which aren’t vegan.
Store-Brand Girl Scout Cookie Dupes
If you miss Girl Scout Cookie season or want a cheaper, year-round option, many grocery stores sell copycat cookies inspired by Girl Scout favorites.
Major retailers like Aldi, Walmart and other regional store brands may carry:
- Mint chocolate sandwich cookies similar to Thin Mints.
- Lemon cookies inspired by Lemonades.
- Peanut butter and chocolate-style cookies.
These are not official Girl Scout Cookies, and ingredients vary, so always check labels, but they’re a helpful option once booths disappear.
Where to buy.
Best way to buy is from your local troops obviously (booth locator here) or from family and friends you’d like to support but they do ship, and you can buy online but note that shipping charges do apply although there’s sometimes discounts for ordering a certain amount or shipping deals occasionally from certain troops.
Some links to purchase (updated for 2026):
You can web search to find troops selling cookies online and their direct links. Be aware that there are shipping charges and they can vary by troop and region but sometimes they offer discounts for buying a certain amount.
Here’s one troop (and possibly others) that benefits families in temporary housing. Launched in 2017, Girl Scouts of Greater New York’s Troop 6000 is a first-of-its-kind program designed to serve families living in temporary housing in the New York City shelter system. Click on their name above to learn more and you can click this“buy cookies” link to support them.
Nola is a vegan scout in the Kansas/Missouri area that sells from ABC Bakers (the more vegan friendly bakery) and in years past they have donated to an animal shelter and adopted foster kids for Xmas. Here’s their link to order cookies: order here.
Maple is a vegan scout from the Northern California area who is going to use some of the money they raise for a service project at the local wild animal rehabilitation center. Order cookies from them here.
Mina is vegan and sells from Little Brownie Bakers and her order link is here.
Whether you’re stocking up on Thin Mints, grabbing ABC Bakers’ Lemonades and Peanut Butter Patties, or exploring store-brand vegan dupes, there’s never been a better time to enjoy vegan Girl Scout Cookies. Remember, cookie season is short, so check local booths, order online if your favorite vegan options aren’t nearby, and share the love with friends and family. Which vegan cookie is your favorite?

Thank you so much for this. I have been scouring troops wherever I have friends with access to Girl Scout cookies and have only found Thin Mints and Peanut Butter Patties. I just ordered 2 of each flavor.
You’re so welcome! It was hard to find links to order for sure so I was glad to help! Enjoy them! 💚
Another link if you could kindly add it to your list! Sales go through April 2.
