I have strong opinions about Girl Scout cookies—don’t try to convince me that Lemon-Ups are anywhere near as good as the long-gone Lemonades because I will fight you—and I’m always disappointed when cookie season winds down.

But this summer, we can all get our fix if you’re a Thin Mints die-hard. It just won’t be in cookie form because Krispy Kreme is taking the iconic cookie lineup and transforming it into a different kind of sweet treat.
Three New Donuts Inspired by Girl Scout Cookies
Krispy Kreme and Girl Scouts of the USA are collaborating on a brand-new kind of donut. The two are teaming up to introduce the Girl Scout Cookie Inspired Dozen, which features donuts inspired by some of the most beloved cookies sold by the Girl Scouts. The Girl Scout Cookie Inspired Dozen will feature shareable donuts based on Thin Mints, Lemon-Ups, and Coconut Caramel. All of the cookies have been reimagined into donuts, capturing both their familiar appearance and their oh-so-irresistable flavors.
The Thin Mints Doughnut is a Krispy Kreme Original Glazed donut that’s dipped in chocolate icing and topped with crumbled Thin Mint cookie, dark chocolate chips, and mint green icing. The Lemon-Ups Doughnut is an Unglazed shell donut with Lemon Crisp Kreme filling and lemon-flavored icing. Lastly, the Coconut Caramel Doughnut is an Original Glazed donut covered in chocolate icing and a coconut and caramel topping.
Grab a dozen of these cookie-like donuts at your local Krispy Kreme, and you’ll get three of each flavor, plus three Original Glazed.
When Will Krispy Kreme’s Girl Scouts-Inspired Donuts Be Available?
The Girl Scout Cookie Inspired Dozen launches at Krispy Kreme on Tuesday, July 7th. You’ll be able to find the treats at participating stores across the U.S. and can purchase them in-store or via pickup or delivery on Krispy Kreme’s app or website—but only for a limited time. According to the official press release, this donut dozen will stick around “while it lasts.”
Not near a participating Krispy Kreme location? I’ve got even better news. A Krispy Kreme six-pack will also be available at select retailers like Walmart, Kroger, and Albertsons nationwide. This smaller option will include three Thin Mints and three Original Glazed donuts.
These Girl Scout cookie-inspired donuts are meant to be indulgent, but that doesn’t mean you have to share. (Well, I guess it’s probably a good idea if you pick up a dozen, but that’s a choice you have to make.) No matter how you choose to enjoy them, this is a sweet opportunity cookie lovers and decadent donut enthusiasts alike won’t want to miss while it’s around this summer.
