These Trader Joe's Coffees Get Paired With Your Favorite Girl Scout Cookies

Jennifer Simpson

Girl Scout Cookies are everywhere, and there's no better way to treat yourself this cookie season than by settling down to relax with a box (or two) of your favorite cookie (or three) and your beverage of choice. But just what should that beverage be?

While you can enjoy Girl Scout Cookies with milk (or even wine), many people (myself included) prefer to enjoy their Thin Mints and Samoas with a cup of joe. Not surprisingly, some coffees pair better with certain cookies than others, and I've taken it upon myself to give you a full report on which coffees and cookies go together like... well, coffee and cookies!

For this endeavor, I've used four of my favorite Trader Joe's whole bean coffees, ground up nice and fresh by yours truly. So, what kind of coffee should you sip with your Girl Scout S'mores? Read on!

TJ's Bali Blue Moon Coffee

If you've never tried Trader Joe's Bali Blue Moon Coffee, you owe yourself the pleasure. It is unequivocally the smoothest sip of coffee I've ever tasted. With virtually no acidity, it really brings out the richness of the creamy, peanut butter-filled Tagalongs we're all so fond of.

TJ's Kenya AA Coffee

With a rich, intense flavor, Trader Joe's Kenya AA Coffee is a very robust bean. With a strong kick of caffeine and a pleasant acidity, it pairs well with the sweetest of cookies, such as Samoas and Do-si-dos.

TJ's Fair Trade Organic Guatemalan Coffee

These beans are dark - extra dark, in fact. This marvelous mug has a strong flavor without the bitter aftertaste one may usually associate with dark roast coffees. With such a full-bodied bean as Trader Joe's Fair Trade Organic Guatemalan Coffee, you need a cookie that can hold it's own, like Thin Mints and Savanah Smiles.

TJ's 100% Kona Coffee

My personal favorite brew is Trader Joe's 100% Kona Coffee. It's rich and smooth without being overpowering. Trefoils, Thanks-A-Lot, Toffee-tastic, and Girl Scout S'mores are my favorites for nibbling alongside or dunking directly into this brew.

Hopefully, this guide proved useful in finding a new flavor combination for you to enjoy. So, feel free to indulge in all of your favorite Girl Scout Cookies however you see fit. I'd even suggest picking up an extra box (or four) to hide in the back of the freezer so that you can enjoy them all year round!

Did I find your favorite flavor combo? What coffees do you prefer to sip with your Do-si-dos? Let me know in the comments below!

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.
