Great American Cookies is ushering in the fall season with a new Caramel Churro Cookie and the returning fan-favorite Pumpkin Spice Cookie.
Perfect for the cooler days ahead, both of these seasonal cookies will leave you feeling warm and cozy. The new Caramel Churro Cookie consists of a tasty twist on the classic Spanish treat by pairing caramel chips and cinnamon sugar crunch. On the other hand, the returning Pumpkin Spice Cookie features a signature blend of pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and white chocolate, all finished with a dusting of powdered sugar.
As Katie Thoms, Senior Director of Marketing at Great American Cookies, says of the seasonal menu, “Consumers' cravings for fall-centric flavors continue to push deeper into August, and we're excited to bake up not only a trendy fan favorite, Pumpkin Spice, but also Caramel Churro."
