Weight Watchers: Girl Scout Cookie Cheat Sheet
/
Ggaahhh it is THAT time of year again.
The cuteness.
The little faces.
The puppy dog eyes.
It is Girl Scout Cookie Time...
Are YOU ready?
If you are feeling worried ... Not sure of the Points Plus Values of those tasty little treats ... I'm here for you!
NOW in my world a serving of thin mint cookies used to be an entire sleeve.
Anyone else? Anyone? Bueller?
But can you believe that isn't an actual serving size?
Shocking I know!
So let's break down the Points Values of the 12 current types of Girl Scout cookies. Thanks to the Girl Scouts website - Meet The Cookies - for having this information so readily available. :P
NOW again I cannot have just one so I am going to share the PPV of up to 3 or 4 cookies. Just keepin' it real. Especially since in Weight Watchers math, 1+1 doesn't always equal 2.
Let's get the party started:

I can tell you that 10 of the 12 types of Girl Scout cookies can be found in the Weight Watchers eTools database. The only two not found were Cranberry Citrus Crisps and Chocolate Chip Shortbread.
In eTools you can calculate the points based on any increment of cookies eaten.
Also I highly recommend writing the PPV values right on the cookie boxes as soon as you receive them.
I hope this is helpful information for everyone as you place your Girl Scout cookie orders.
I know it will help me from going all Cookie Monster on my order.
Because c'mon I can't quit those Thin Mints!
