The global obsession with boba has expanded beyond drinks, with popping boba pieces now making their way into soft-baked cookies like Bobadoodles by Molly Bz. These bite-sized cookies feature an added burst of flavor and they put a fresh spin on teatime cookies with mashup flavors like London Fog—shortbread cookies with Earl Grey tea and lavender and lemon boba gels. Coffee lovers with a sweet tooth will appreciate the Cold Brew snickerdoodle cookie studded with mini coffee boba, as well as bites influenced by other cafe-style offerings like fruity lemonade and blueberry muffins.
Like other treats from Molly Bz, these small-batch gourmet cookies are beloved for their bold flavors, unique ingredient combinations and handcrafted quality.
