Lemon Chalet Cremes: The Best Girl Scout Cookies Ever?

I just had one of these last week, and it is now my favorite -- the perfect combination of lemon creme that tastes like real lemons and crunchy with a hint of ginger.  I have always liked Thin Mints best, but the Lemon Chalet Cremes are even better.  You can't buy Girl Scout cookies until early next year; I was lucky enough to try these because my wife Marina is now CEO of the Northern California Girl Scouts and she got an "advance" box from the cookie company -- I tried to eat one, but ended-up eating a lot more! I suggest that you try a box when they go on sale.

I have been looking for the name of these cookies for a while now! I miss these cookies so much, the new Lemonades are alright but these were way better! I remember the picture on the cooking being a snowy cottage and there were holes in the cookies where the windows were so the yellow icing was made visible to appear as the lights on inside the cabin. Oh if they would only bring these back.

Bob, Not sure why but my daughter's Brownie Troop here in the Triangle Area of North Carolina got it's cookie training tonight and we have a different kind of lemon cookie. I'm not exactly a lemon cookie kind of guy, but these were pretty good too. They are called Lemonades.

Wouldn't it be way cooler if the girlscouts would bake their own cookies? Why push industrial products that are shipped thousands of miles across the country?

Gotta go with the Caramel DeLites (which are deceptively named since they're not at all "lite", being probably the most fattening of all GScookies). Tremendously addictive stuff.
