Traditionally, our Holiday Cookie Box has been filled with cookies that Leslie grew up enjoying, made with recipes handed down in her family. A bit of a departure, our pastry team inspired this year\u2019s box of treats. Knowing how much customers love our Mexican Hot Chocolate, with its velvety sweet chocolate and hint of spice, Assistant Pastry Chef Allison Borte wanted to develop something similar for the holidays.<\/p>\n

\u201cExpanding on that idea, I started thinking of my love of Mexican cuisine and the idea of a mole sauce popped into my head,\u201d says Allison, who works at\u00a0our Belltown location<\/a>. \u201cMole sauce combines the subtly sweet richness of cocoa with a spicy kick from peppers, typically chipotle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allison began brainstorming products that would capture the essence of that authentic Mexican sauce and our signature hot chocolate. Many baking sessions and taste tests later, she had a winning creation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to think of a cookie that is really different from the cookies we usually do, so I thought that a cookie that combines these sweet and spicy flavors would be perfect,” Allison explains of the creative process behind her Spicy Cocoa Nib Cookies. “Adding the cocoa nib gives it more texture, so there\u2019s a little crunch in every bite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allison\u2019s Spicy Cocoa Nib Cookies have a deep thrum of chocolate flavor with a hint of warm spice throughout. You can find these new cookies in our Holiday Cookie Box<\/a> at any of our caf\u00e9s this holiday season!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
