Mariah Carey’s Holiday Hits Cookie Trio
Okay, we get it – you really don’t want to bake cookies!
Fortunately, Mariah Carey has your back.
The “All I Want For Christmas Is You” singer actually released her online cookie company late last year, featuring flavors like Chocolate Chunk, Triple Chocolate Chunk, Heath Bar, Lemon Cooler, Spiced Oatmeal Raisin, and White Chocolate Cranberry.
This year, Carey partnered with Virtual Dining Concepts to debut her Holiday Hits Cookie Trio consisting of three special edition flavors: Gingerbread, Cinnamon Sugar, and Chocolate Raspberry Truffle.
“We forgot to leave cookies out for Santa last year and were terrified we’d wind up on the naughty list,” she teased. “So we FaceTimed him over the summer to ensure we got his top 3 flavors.”
Cookies can be ordered online or through Mariah’s Cookies app and can be delivered through delivery apps like GrubHub, DoorDash, Postmates, or UberEats.
With a plethora of options, there’s no reason for anyone to go without a classic treat on National Cookie Day!
