Girl Scouts Roll Out Allergy‑Friendly ‘Sparkables’ and Dog‑Loving ‘Patch Pals’ for the 2027 Cookie Season

In a move that’s sure to make both humans and their four‑legged companions smile, the Girl Scouts of the USA unveiled two brand‑new cookies for the upcoming 2027 season. One is a sweet treat you can safely share with kids who have food sensitivities, and the other is a tail‑wagging snack made just for dogs.

The allergy‑friendly cookie, cleverly named Sparkables, is a crunchy oatmeal bite studded with chocolate chips and a sprinkle of colorful confetti. What sets it apart is the painstaking effort to keep nine of the most common allergens out of the mix – think milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame. Partnering with Partake, a company that lives and breathes allergen‑free foods, the Scouts ensured the recipe stays safe without sacrificing that classic Girl Scout crunch.

Meanwhile, for the pups who can’t resist a sniff of something delicious, the Girl Scouts teamed up with BARK, the dog‑focused snack brand, to create Patch Pals. These soft‑baked cookies taste like tiny blueberry muffins and come emblazoned with one of four iconic Girl Scout patch designs – a subtle nod to the organization’s heritage that even the most discerning canine can appreciate.

Both cookies will be sold exclusively online, shipping straight to buyers during the 2027 Girl Scout Cookie season, which kicks off on January 12. Local councils usually run their in‑person sales from January through April, so if you’re itching to place an order, start by checking your council’s schedule or simply enter your zip code on the official Girl Scouts website.

So whether you’re navigating a family’s dietary restrictions or looking for a special treat to reward your dog’s good behavior, these new offerings aim to broaden the “Cookie‑time” tradition. It’s a small but meaningful step toward making the beloved Girl Scout cookie experience a little more inclusive – for people, pets, and the whole community.
