Jimmy John's Chocolate Peppermint Cookie is being launched as a collaboration treat that features a meta recipe to provide avid baked goods fans alike with a dessert to try out this winter.
The cookie is arriving now at participating locations and just in time to coincide with Giving Tuesday (December 3) as well as National Cookie Day (December 4). The treat boasts a dark chocolate dough infused with pieces of candy can and Oreo cookie pieces to make it familiar yet elevated in flavor. The sale of the cookie will see a portion of the proceeds donated to the Boys & Girls Club of America.
VP of Marketing Kate Carpenter commented on the Jimmy John's Chocolate Peppermint Cookie saying, "This holiday season, we set out to craft a new cookie that would delight fans while creating a moment where guests could pay it forward simply by stopping in for a sweet treat. In partnership with Oreo, we are honored to continue to support the incredible work of Boys & Girls Clubs of America through this limited-edition cookie.”
