As Cookie Plug Founder Erik Martinez says, "Cookies aren't hard to find but there is nothing cookie cutter about Cookie Plug." The brand's extra-thick cookies, called "phatties" are freshly baked daily at every location and fans frequent Cookie Plug's 30+ locations for flavors like SnooperDoodle (snickerdoodle), [Pixie Junkie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clever-candy-powdered-candy-straws) (sugar cookie) and Purple Haze (purple velvet.) With carb-friendly and keto-friendly options, there's something for everyone, especially since the cookies are 100% kid-friendly and ready to be enjoyed by the whole family. Each location stands out with a colorful street art interior and rap music, distinguishing Cookie Plug from the average sleepy bakery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.2/10 - Popularity: 70% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 14% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Street Art-inspired Food:** There is an opportunity for food companies to incorporate street art or graffiti aesthetics into their branding, packaging, and store design. - **Alternative Diet-friendly Desserts:** There is a growing trend towards offering desserts that cater to alternative diets such as keto and carb-friendly options. - **Cultural Crossover Foods:** There is a market for food products that combine elements of different cultures, like Cookie Plug's incorporation of hip-hop culture and street art into their branding and flavors. ### Where This Applies - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry should take note of the trends of incorporating street art and alternative diets into their products and marketing strategies. - **Retail:** The retail industry can leverage the trend of cultural crossover foods by incorporating unique flavors and cultural elements into their product designs and marketing strategies. - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry has an opportunity to collaborate with food and beverage companies to incorporate street art and graffiti aesthetics into packaging and store designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multisensorial Gourmet Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerds-sugar-crush-cookie.md) - [Hip-Hop Group-Approved Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grandmas-cookies.md) - [Gooey Filled-Center Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-cookies.md) - [Oversized Pizza-Style Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snickerdoodle-pizza-cookie.md) - [Crisp Thin Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thin-cookies-nyc.md) - [Collaboration Snack Chip Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pringlicious-cookie.md) - [Gourmet Frozen Cookie Dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doughpamine.md) - [Munchie-Themed 4/20 Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crunchie-munchie-deluxe.md) - [Slab-Style Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/perfectly-imperfect-cookie.md)
