Before I head home to NYC for my favorite holiday: Thanksgiving, I wanted to quickly update you on all the exciting news at Alexandra’s Cookie Dreams:
Chocolate Holiday Wonderland: New limited edition holiday cookie! When people ask me which is my favorite flavor of ACD cookie, I hate to play favorites, like a school teacher, I always say I love them all for different reasons. This is the truth, it just depends on my mood at that moment. Well right now I am obsessed with the Chocolate Holiday Wonderland, and if you ask me why, it’s because I am feeling quite festive right now! The Chocolate Holiday Wonderland has chunks of creamy Ghiradelli white chocolate nestled in a fudgy, cripy Ghiradelli cocoa cookie, topped with chunks of cool peppermint bark. This cookie flavor is available in any of our holiday packages on “Our Shop” and on our Corporate/Large Order Forms, which you can download on our NEW Holiday Page.

If you need a last minute ridiculously delicious and simple idea for your Thanksgiving dessert, try this! (Of course you can substitute the ACD Toffee Doodle Dream with a plain vanilla cookie
)
Toffee Apple Cookie Crumble:
Serving Size 4: Individual Ramekins (4′ round)
Preheat oven to 400 Degrees
Ingredients:
4 Macintosh Apples or Brae Burn Apples
6 Alexandra’s Cookie Dreams Toffee Doodle Dream Cookies
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon
1/3 stick butter (slightly softened)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. Combine sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
2. Peel and cut apples into thin slices, and gently coat them in cinnamon sugar mixture (just a light coating, you will have extra cinnamon sugar to use later)
3. Crumble 1/2 Toffee Doodle Dream Cookie in the base of each ramekin, press firmly down.
4 Start layering the apples slices from the outer edge of the ramekin inward. In between layers sprinkle cinnamon sugar, pecans and a little dab of butter, continue until to reach top of ramikin (press apples down firmly).
5. Crumble 3/4 of a Toffee Doodle Dream cookie on top of each raminkin, and press down firmly. Leave the remaining 1/4 of the cookie to eat with finished Toffee Apple Cookie Crumble.
6. Place ramikins on cookie sheet and bake for approximately 35 min, until apples are softened. Let cook for 45 min, and Enjoy!
I wish you all a very sweet Thanksgiving Holiday!
