A new french toast-flavored cookie is joining the Girl Scouts lineup in 2021

Time to start the New Year countdown, folks! As disappointing, devastating, and dejecting as this year has been, it appears as though things might finally take a turn for the better as soon as we cross the 2020 finish line. Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) on Tuesday announced the upcoming release of new cookie flavor in January 2021 and it's already got us drooling. Shaped like mini toast slices, the Toast-Yay! cookies are "full of French toast flavor, dipped in delicious icing, and stamped with the iconic Girl Scout trefoil on top."

"The name is designed to be a play on words for 'toasty,' which evokes the warmth and joy we believe people will associate with this great new French Toast-inspired flavor," a representative for the Girl Scouts told PEOPLE. Along with its new release, the GSUSA will also be offering their classics this season, including Lemon-Ups, Lemonades, Thin Mints, Caramel deLites/Samoas (depending on region), Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs, Do-si-dos/Peanut Butter Sandwich, Shortbread/Trefoils, Toffee-tastic, Caramel Chocolate Chip, and Girl Scout S'mores.

"The world continues to change rapidly, and with the ongoing pandemic and social distancing, we're working to ensure that whatever we face in 2021, GSUSA will do as much as possible to (safely) set girls up for success," the organization told Good Morning America in a statement. "Our Girl Scout Cookie entrepreneurs are creative and resourceful, and in the midst of the pandemic earlier this year, many pivoted their emphasis to virtual sales as they experienced the same challenges as other businesses." In the 2021 season, Girl Scouts will again embrace their entrepreneurial spirit by selling cookies through online platforms and innovative "virtual cookie booths" on social media, with supervision from a parent, it revealed on its website.

"Many girls will offer socially distant or contactless sales and delivery options," the GSUSA representative added. "Regardless of the sales method, every cookie purchase helps girls learn important entrepreneurship and business skills, and the money stays local to power amazing experiences for them." Meanwhile, the online Girl Scouts Cookie Care platform that debuted last season amid the ongoing pandemic will again enable cookie fans to safely order cookies for home delivery and to be donated to first responders, volunteers, and local causes.

"Amid challenging world events and a global pandemic this year, Girl Scouts created moments of joy by donating cookies to thank frontline workers and using the cookie earnings to support their communities," the organization said. "When Girl Scout Cookie season returns, Toast-Yay! will give consumers a new way to celebrate these moments alongside other favorites."

"With every sale, the Girl Scout Cookie Program teaches girls how to think like entrepreneurs as they run their own small businesses and learn skills like goal setting, people skills, and decision making -- which are imperative for any leadership role," the non-profit explained in a statement. "And girls decide how to use their portion of the proceeds for unforgettable leadership experiences and community projects, while councils are dependent on the funds to deliver life-changing Girl Scout programming to 1.7 million girls."
