Beginning with a single bakery opened by Godfrey Keebler Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1853, Keebler has maintained a tradition of baking cookies with care, passion, and an abundance of quality ingredients.
The cookies were first sold in 1917. Back then, the scouts baked the cookies themselves and sold them door to door. By the 1920s, they were using a simple sugar cookie recipe, perhaps based on one published in a July 1922 issue of The American Girl magazine. In 1935, the words âGirl Scout Cookiesâ appeared on the boxes for the first time, and in 1936, the national organization began using commercial bakers.
