Back to Basics
Name a more iconic duo than cookies and milk – we’ll wait. Loved for their simplicity and sweetness, cookies hold a special place in hearts everywhere. But thanks to their down-to-earth perception, operators often overlook their potential and neglect to add them to menus. Rather than opting for extravagant concepts, it’s time to get back to the basics and showcase your creativity with good ol’ cookies.
