Dialing for Do-si-dos
If you crave Thin Mints, Do-si-dos and Samoas — but don't know a Utah Girls Scout — you are in luck.

For the 2009 cookie ordering season — which runs Jan. 17 through Feb. 1 — residents in the Salt Lake Valley can participate in a new pilot program, appropriately called "Cookies on Call."

Dial 801-716-5147 and you will be put in touch with a local Girl Scout who will take your order. Cookies will be delivered sometime between March 13–29.

The Girls Scouts of Utah is promoting its new cookie hot line through advertisements on UTA buses and through local radio stations.

Despite tough, economic times, cookie prices will remain the same price: $3.50 per box.

Brand new in 2009 is the Dulce de Leche cookie, inspired by the classic Latin American confection, it is a combination of rich milk and caramel chips with caramel stripes.

Other offerings including the ever popular Thin Mints (the number one selling cookie in Utah), Trefoils, Samoas, Do-si-dos, Tagalongs, Lemon Crème Chalets (introduced in 2008) and sugar-free chocolate chip.

All varieties are trans fat-free and kosher.
