The Historic Savannah Cookie Box
All of the cookies in this box have been inspired by characters and stories unique to Savannah. Especially for tourists, this box is the perfect introduction to Savannah’s uniqueness, her sense of artistry, and her cast of characters. You don’t have to read all of the intro, but if you’d like to know a little more about what’s behind each cookie flavor, keep reading….
Forsyth Irish Cream Cookie: Savannah is home to one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day festivals in the world, even going so far as dying the water green in Forsyth Square (and the beer in most taverns is dyed green as well) for the month of March. Here’s a darker piece of history: the first public execution in the newly formed colony of Georgia took place at Wright Square in 1735. The story goes that Alice Riley was an indentured Irish slave who murdered her master, William Wise. The hanging took place at the northeast corner of Wright Square where no Spanish Moss grows on the trees to this day (a curse Alice placed as she died that has evidently lingered—we’ve checked! No moss!) Calling it the “Wright Square” cookie seemed a little morbid in light of the deliciousness of the cookie, but how can one escape part of what makes Savannah mysterious and haunting? We had to spill details! The cookie is an Irish Cream flavored sugar cookie, mixed with Ruffles Potato Chips (because Irish and potatoes cannot be separated) plus milk chocolate chips. It is a completely satisfying delight!
Midnight Good & Evil: This cookie was inspired by the book (read it—seriously!) and also the movie. We chose a cocoa-butter flavor for the cookie, and each one is wrapped around either a White Chocolate Lindt truffle (Good) or a Chocolate Lindt Truffle (Evil) ((and if you happen to get a milk chocolate truffle—maybe you’re only slightly evil?? That interpretation is up for grabs.)) Topped with dark chocolate for midnight and a white ghost plus some edible glitter for the hauntedness of the cemetery, this cookie will intrigue and enchant the consumer! This has quickly become a local favorite.
Slammah-Banana Chocolate Chip: We love that we have a minor league baseball team named the Savannah Bananas. Such finery deserves a cookie named after it. Although their colors are yellow and blue, banana and chocolate chip seemed far more interesting to us. We emailed the Savannah Bananas for their remarks. Wholeheartedly approve! Indeed, a true home-run in their books. This is a banana flavored cookie with semisweet chocolate chips, topped with a Nilla Wafer, and it’s the perfect light treat.
Tybee Ocean Cookies: One cannot visit Savannah without visiting Tybee Island. The varied colors of the ocean are mirrored in this traditional “cookie monster” cookie, with an Oreo and a Chips Ahoy cookie each stuffed inside this milk chocolate chips blue cookie. These sell out fast at events!
The Savannah Hottie: Stay in Savannah long enough, you’ll meet some spicy characters (especially after hours). We set this to a rich cocoa cookie, mixed in with milk and dark chocolate chips, toasted almonds, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, topped with 60% chocolate, cinnamon, and a brief dash of cayenne. Fair warning: it’s a little on the spicy side, so if you don’t like spice, find someone who does and they’ll love you forever! The people who enjoy a little bit of heat report overwhelming addiction to this cookie!
Lemon Drop: Now what’s Savannah without a little Sass? Lemonade is a staple in the South, but leaving a restaurant with a full glass of somethin-something is a tradition unique to Savannah. We adore that Savannah is a “walk with a drink in your hand” type of city! This cookie is a very Lemony cookie, topped with Limoncello Lemon glaze!
