Cookie cutbacks! Girl Scouts axe two cookie flavors

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- It's that time of year again: Girl Scout cookie season. But some cookie monsters won't be able to get their favorites.

The Dulce De Leche and the Thank U Berry Munch cookies are being pulled from the menu in various cities across the country, according to Michelle Tompkins, spokeswoman for Girl Scouts of the USA.

The group's most popular cookies -- Thin Mints, Samoas, Tagalongs, Do-si-Dos, Trefoils and Lemon Chalet Cremes -- will still be available everywhere...

"The decision to make the fewer cookies is not based on the economy," she said. "It was a business decision made a couple years ago."

The rationale? Some cookies are just more popular than others...

"It is a way of improving business."

But some trends are eternal: Thin Mints remain the bestseller, and will be on the menu for as long as Girl Scouts are out there selling cookies
