Crookie (croissant and cookie), and brookie (brownie and cookie) are passé. A new trend from the West, the cookie cup (cookie and cupcake), has been taking the global baking community by a crumbly storm. After some searching, we found a couple of varieties of these mini desserts with Girgaon-based homebaker, CutsNJoys.
ADVERTISEMENT On founders Aya Bhansali and Prishita Mehta’s advice, we ordered a mixed batch of cookies and cookie cups. Priced at Rs 420, this cookie treat box includes one Nutella cookie cup, one lotus biscoff cookie cup, one chocolate cookie and one Nutella cookie. “You can also order boxes of three, four and six cookies, cookie cups or mix batches like this one,” the 23-year-old duo had informed us over a call.
We received the order by evening. The cookie cups justly resembled cupcakes. However, instead of having frosting on the top like one does on cupcakes, these were hollow in the centre.
The home bakers had filled this space with a dollop of Nutella and lotus biscoff spread. The soft, gooey yet crumbly texture of the dessert did justice to its name. We finished the cookie cups followed by the chunky, chocolate-y cookies within a few minutes.
While the writer was partial to the Nutella cookie cup, because it best complemented the chocolate chip chunks in the cookie, our friend liked lotus biscoff better, as it offered two distinct and popular flavours in the same dessert. For die-hard chocolate fans, the Nutella cookie cups will have you craving .
