Real Treat: Top Shelf Organic Cookies

Chocolate can at once comfort and excite the palate. Really good chocolate should make you feel like you are hiding a dirty secret while dressed in your finest. These cookies do that while turning up the stereo with the addition of house-candied lemon peel.

Double Dark Chocolate with Smoked Pecans

Some of my favourite memories are of evenings spent next to a camp fire, followed by resting my sun-kissed weary head on the pillow at the end of the day, with my hair at my nose smelling of wood smoke and lake water. This cookie evokes that memory with house-smoked pecans and that other staple of a good life: a brown butter cookie with premium dark chocolate chunks.

The Ginger Cookie

What Holiday Season would be complete without it? Growing up, two plates were left on the hearth for Santa… One with a healthy helping of carrots for the reindeer, and another with carefully arranged ginger cookies, accompanied by the obligatory glass of milk, and a beer. (What, just my house?) The best are crunchy, spicy, deeply flavoured with blackstrap molasses, and zipping with spicy ginger. At Real Treat we’ve added some morsels of candied ginger for a bit of extra magic.
