Pinckney Cookie Cafe Review and Giveaway

My #1 weakness, far and away, is cookies. It is not easy to find a scrumptious soft and chewy cookie that tastes as though it just came out of the oven, at least I haven't found one ~ until now! Founded by Michael Pinckney in 1999, Pinckney Cookie Cafe has been baking up extraordinarily delicious and flavorful cookies ever since. Michael sent us his four varieties to try ~

The Pinckney Original ~  The cookie that started it all ~ rich dark belgian chocolate chips, chocolaty dough, walnuts and a hint of coconut. My favorite!

Bing Bling! ~ Founder Michael's fav, this gourmet goodie has pieces of diced dried bing cherries added to the original cookie recipe. I'm not a fan of cherries so was a little hesitant to try this one. I could not detect the cherry flavor but the addition of them made this cookie unbelievably moist. It is a favorite in my house too!

COCO ~ The most unique of the four varieties, COCO is an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie with hints of coconut and orange. I did taste the orange in this cookie, it was subtle, but not being a fan of orange, I preferred the other three, but that's just my personal taste. COCO is chock full of flavor, unbelievably moist, and could almost be a stand-alone dessert. Anyone who likes a bit of orange zest, would LOVE these.

Classic Chocolate Chip ~ Two types of dark chocolate chips make this American classic even better! 


The cookies arrived from across the country {all the way from Bellvue, Washington} via priority mail. Incredibly, they tasted as though they just came out of my oven. Although we are all experiencing record high temperatures, the chocolate didn't melt and the cookies remained plump, soft and chewy. They even have that right-out-of-the oven smell! Each variety was in it's own chic gift box, the icing on the cookie for these gourmet delights. And the flavor? In a word...FANTASTIC! Find them at LoveTheseCookies.com {♥} for $9.95 per box. They would make the perfect gift to say thank you, thinking of you, happy birthday, get well soon. Also ideal for that hard-to-buy for friend or relative and cookie-lovers everywhere. Don't forget to order yourself a box too! They contain no preservatives and can be refrigerated or frozen...although if your house is like ours, they probably will never make it to the freezer. 

Want to hear some SWEET news? Pinckney Cookie Cafe is sending one lucky reader a box of each of their four yummy flavors!
