Girl Scouts of the USA has unveiled new cookie additions, including Sparkables, an allergy-friendly oatmeal cookie with chocolate chips and sprinkles developed with Partake, and Patch Pals, the first official dog treat from the organization, a soft-baked blueberry muffin-flavored cookie created with BARK. Sparkables avoid nine major food allergens including peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, wheat, milk, soy, fish, shellfish, and sesame. Patch Pals are designed to celebrate the bond between people and pets, featuring four patch designs representing Girl Scout experiences. Both will debut during the 2027 cookie season starting in January. Taste testers praised Sparkables as flavorful and satisfying, while vets noted that dogs can enjoy the treats but should receive no more than 10 percent of daily calories from treats. This expansion reflects how American families increasingly include pets in traditions and seek inclusive products for children with food allergies.
