Happy Girl Scout cookie season! This year, we’ve got four vegan Girl Scout cookies to enjoy and four ways to support young entrepreneurs. But before you head to your local troop, there is one important thing to note: Two cookie distributors operate in the US, and they supply different cookie formulations. ABC Bakers offers four vegan varieties while Little Brownie Bakers has only one. Once you’ve confirmed a nearby supply of vegan Girl Scout cookies, the next step is to load up and enjoy.
ABC Bakers
Toast-Yay!, the French toast-inspired cookie, is just one of the vegan Girl Scout cookies available this year. Imagine all your favorite things about this breakfast classic packed into a vegan-friendly Girl Scout cookie—think sweet cinnamon flavors and decadent icing. Toast-Yay! is an icing-dipped, toast-shaped treat that is ready to be enjoyed this season.
Thin Mints
ABC Bakers and Little Brownie Bakers
Girl Scout Thin Mints remain the top-selling variety of the cookie franchise. With such a cool, refreshing flavor and crunch, they’re hard not to love. These cookie classics are made with vegan ingredients by both distributors—vegan Girl Scout cookies FTW! Pro tip: Keep them in your freezer to up the chill factor and extend Girl Scout season.
ABC Bakers
Hey lemon lovers, this one’s for you! These vegan Girl Scout cookies provide a refreshing hint of sweet citrus in a crispy shortbread cookie package. Be sure to opt for the Girl Scout Lemonades cookies rather than the Lemon-Ups. Lemon-Ups are made by Brownie Bakers and are NOT vegan-friendly.
ABC Bakers
Crispy cookies layered with creamy peanut butter and covered with a tasty chocolaty coating? Sign us up! The Girl Scout Peanut Butter Patties are made with vegan-friendly ingredients while the Tagalongs are not—make sure to opt for the ABC Bakers version to ensure you’re choosing vegan Girl Scout cookies this season.

During her studies to become a registered dietitian, Anja—a longtime vegetarian—transitioned to a vegan diet. Living in Kalamazoo, Michigan at the time (Go Broncos!), she met Maggie and Tammie through VegOut Kalamazoo (one of VegOut’s first focus cities) and began collaborating with the duo. When she’s not writing about new vegan eats, practicing as a pediatric clinical dietitian, and virtually coaching fellow plant-based eaters, you can find her creating veg-centric recipes, trying new cruelty-free products, and spending time with her partner Addison and cat Kovu.
