Will 2026 feature an Exploremores takeover in Colorado? The sandwich cookie is a Rocky Mountain dream with chocolate, marshmallow, and toasted almond-flavored crème, inspired by Rocky Road ice cream. The name pays homage to the Girl Scouts’ mission of exploration, outdoor adventure, and curiosity. Exploremores will replace a couple of retired favorites like Toast-Yay! and S’mores.

The 2026 Cookie Lineup and Colorado Favorites

Nationally, America’s best-selling Girl Scout cookie is Thin Mints. These cookies are also the top-selling cookies here in Colorado, with Samoas a close second. Will the new cookie, Exploremores, influence buying habits this year? Girl Scouts are counting on young customers and first-time buyers to eat them up.

When you buy from the Girl Scouts locally, you help fund leadership programs, community service projects, and outdoor activities. Purchase your favorites when you see them. Cookies are in demand and will sell out before you know it.
