Forget your Hawaiian coconut and drink cookies for breakfast.

Cookie-flavored coffee. Why, that’s almost as brilliant as selling cookies outside of a weed dispensary! Only this time it didn’t take a genius Girl Scout to figure it out—it required the R&D department of an international doughnut and coffee company.
Want some? Dunkin Donuts announced on Friday the launch of a very crave-worthy line of caffeinated beverages, which brilliantly melds the wonderful world of flavored coffee to everybody’s favorite cookies: Girl Scout Cookies.
To kick off the weekend (National Girl Scout Cookie Weekend, if you didn’t know), customers will find three new cookie-flavored coffees on shelves: Thin Mints coffee, Coconut Caramel coffee and Peanut Butter Cookie coffee.
While we here at GK are dying for a taste of Coconut Caramel (ahem, Samoas), we understand if you prefer minty chocolate or peanut butter. And get this—the peanut butter flavor doesn’t contain allergens, according to the company. All three of these cookie flavors will be available hot or iced, as well as in macchiatos, lattes, frozen coffees and frozen chocolate, until the limited run ends in May.
And thanks to a partnership with Girl Scouts of the USA, coffee drinkers will be able to dip Girl Scout Cookies into their Girl Scout Cookie-flavored coffee, because local troops will be posted up to sell cookies in select Dunkin’ Donuts locations on weekends from February 24th to March 18th.
“Not only do girls learn important business and entrepreneurial skills, but they put their earnings toward impactful community projects and leadership experiences,” said GSUSA Chief Revenue Officer Barry Horowitz in a press release, “so we are grateful to Dunkin’ Donuts for opening up their restaurants around the country to our cookie entrepreneurs!”
To find out if your local Dunkin’ is hosting a Girl Scouts troop, you can search on the Scouts’ website, as well as by using the Girl Scout Cookie Finder app.
