Cookies Trend Report

From Feline Desserts to Burnable Biscuits

— March 25, 2012 — Lifestyle
Cookies are a classic snack, and work best dipped into a glass of milk, according to many children. This delectable treat has been adjusted over the years to keep up with pop culture and Internet fads. Traditional chocolate-chip cookies just don't cut it anymore. The Cookies Trend Report explores these changes and highlights the best innovations done by cookie-lovers everywhere. Feline-inspired desserts are no longer considered out-of-the ordinary, but are a welcome addition to any afternoon snack.

Many changes involve using classic ingredients, but putting a slight spin on the traditional recipe. For example, chocolate is an ever-popular addition to any cookie, and the cigarette-shaped treats use a dash of cocoa powder to enhance the look of a burnt-out smoke. The result looks detestable, but is beneficial for anyone looking to enhance their cookie design skills.
Trend Themes
1. Innovative Flavors - There is room for experimentation with flavors, such as feline-inspired desserts becoming a welcome addition to any afternoon snack
2. Creative Cookie Design - Using classic ingredients but putting a slight spin on the traditional recipe opens a door for creative cookie design opportunities
3. Unconventional Shapes - Shapes such as cigarette-shaped treats that use cocoa powder to enhance the look of a burnt-out smoke introduces innovative opportunities in shaping cookies
Industry Implications
1. Bakery - Bakeries can experiment with flavors and shapes to create unique and exciting cookies to draw in customers
2. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturers can enhance traditional cookies by adding a slight spin to their ingredients, resulting in imaginative and creative new products
3. Confectionery - The unconventional shapes can introduce new molds to the confectionery industry, enabling the production of fun, unique cookie shapes
