The collaboration that was, as Krispy Kreme put it, “mint to be.”
Krispy Kreme and Girl Scouts of the USA launched the Girl Scout Cookie Inspired Dozen on July 7 at participating shops nationwide, reimagining three of the most iconic Girl Scout Cookie flavors into limited-time doughnuts available while supplies last. The timing is deliberate — launching in July sets these apart from the Girl Scout Cookie selling season, which typically takes place in colder weather months.
Three flavors, one very nostalgic concept. Here’s what’s in each one.
The Three Doughnuts
Thin Mints Doughnut — An Original Glazed doughnut dipped in chocolate icing, topped with Thin Mints cookie crumbles and dark chocolate chips, with a drizzle of mint green icing. The most visually recognizable of the three and the most faithful to its cookie inspiration — the dark chocolate and mint combination translates directly.
Lemon-Ups Doughnut — An unglazed shell doughnut filled with Lemon Crisp Kreme filling, dipped in lemon-flavored icing, and finished with a lemon-inspired design. The filled format distinguishes this one from the other two — biting in delivers a burst of lemon cream rather than the top-down experience of the Thin Mints or Coconut Caramel.
Coconut Caramel Doughnut — A riff on Caramel deLites (or Samoas, depending on your region), this Original Glazed doughnut is dipped in chocolate icing and topped with coconut and caramel. The most indulgent of the three, and the one that leans most into Krispy Kreme’s strength — the Original Glazed base underneath all those toppings keeps it from becoming too heavy.
How to Get Them
The Girl Scout Cookie Inspired Dozen is available for a limited time at participating shops nationwide, individually or by the dozen while supplies last. A six-pack of three Thin Mints Doughnuts and three Original Glazed doughnuts will also be available at select grocery retailers.
Order in-shop, through the Krispy Kreme app, online at krispykreme.com, or via delivery. Use the store locator to find your nearest participating location.
The Bigger Picture
Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer Alison Holder said: “Girl Scout Cookie flavors are iconic for a reason. Reimagining them as doughnuts is a fun way to bring those familiar favorites to fans in a completely new and truly irresistible way.”
The collab benefits both brands. For Krispy Kreme, Girl Scout Cookie flavors come pre-loaded with nostalgia and devoted fan bases — the kind of built-in cultural equity that makes a limited-time launch feel like an event rather than just a new menu item. For Girl Scouts of the USA, the partnership extends the reach of the cookie brand into summer, a season when the cookies themselves aren’t typically available.
The Bottom Line
Krispy Kreme’s Girl Scout Cookie Inspired Dozen — Thin Mints, Lemon-Ups, and Coconut Caramel — is available now at participating locations while supplies last. Individual doughnuts, dozens, and select grocery six-packs are all available. If Thin Mints or Samoas are your cookie of choice, this is your off-season fix.
