What is Cookie Dough?

Cookie Dough is credit that may be earned by Girl Scouts during the annual Cookie and Candy, Nut & Magazine Programs. Girls choose to earn “Dough” in lieu of another recognition item. Check your order card insert for more information on the amounts of Cookie Dough you can earn.

Cookie Dough is issued independently by each council and cannot be transferred to other councils. Cookie Dough earned at other councils cannot be accepted for redemption by GSKSMO.

Girls who earn Cookie Dough from the Candy Program will receive a letter in November. Girls earning Cookie Dough from the Cookie Program will receive a mailed postcard or email stating their amount earned in April. Cookie Dough earned during the 2019 Candy, Nuts & Magazine Program and 2020 Cookie Program will expire on September 30, 2021.
