Insomnia Cookies is bringing together two classic traits with its new Jelly Donut Classic cookie. The new cookie will also be joined by the returning holiday-themed Jinglebread cookie, which is a fan-favorite seasonal offering.
Perfect for jelly donut lovers, the new Jelly Donut Classic cookie consists of a soft, buttery cookie topped with sugar crystals on the outside and a sweet raspberry jam on the inside. When broken open, the cookie mimics the experience of biting into a jelly donut.
If you're looking for something a little more festive, the returning Jinglebread cookie features a familiar cinnamon-spiced gingerbread cookie base stuffed with a cream cheese filling and topped with sugar crystals.
Both of these cookies are available throughout December.
