Do-si-dos Girl Scout cookies (by Little Brownie Bakers) are also called Peanut Butter Sandwich cookies by ABC Bakers. They are very good, especially if peanut butter sandwich cookies are a favorite!

Girl Scouts did not create the Peanut Butter Patties. The licensed companies which bake Girl Scout cookies are the ones who suggest new varieties of cookies to Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA). GSUSA has the final approval of any new cookie varieties.
Thin Mints are the number one seller, followed by Samoas/Caramel DeLites and then Peanut Butter Patties/Tagalongs. Personal opinion: Caramel DeLites, Thin Mints, Shortbreads, and Peanut Butter Patties are the best Girl Scout cookies.
In 1968 there were at least 9 different types of Girl Scout cookies. They were Chocolate Mint Wafers, Peanut Butter Sandwich, Shorties, Assorted Sandwich, Pixies, Sandwich Cremes, Scot-Teas, Mints, and Savannahs.
