Guess who else has a Christmas Cookie? That’s right, Starbucks. I’m positive this is nothing new to you. You gotta admit you’ve seen them there. Don’t tell me you don’t glance in that plastic bakery case as you stand in line. You eye the Peppermint Bark Brownies, drool over the Cranberry Bliss Bar, and flinch at what the calories of a slice of Holiday Gingerbread would do to your thighs. Yet, it’s the colorful, thick icing of a Penguin Cookie that calls your name. You are strong, and you don’t order.
Don’t worry, I went ahead and bought one. I did it for you. I did it for the Weekly Volcano. I did it for all mankind.
So, no, they don’t make the cookie there on location, and when I asked where they got the cookie, they had no idea. The looked, asked around, searched for the box it came it â€" nothing. I went through another Starbucks drive-thru, asked the staff there, and they had the same “I have no idea†answer for me. Hmpf.
Let me first point out that what you don’t see when you look through the bakery plastic is what’s underneath the cookie. More frosting! The cookie itself for the most part is your typical delicious Christmas shortbread/sugar cookie that you would usually buy from Starbucks. It’s predictably yummy, tasty, and particularly hits that sweet tooth you most often discover as you sip your Grande Americano. That happens to everyone, not just me, right? â€" Steph DeRosa
