Cookies A World Apart

by Vanessa Quirk

It’s not everyday you eat a cookie that was inspired by an architectural school of design, but, for Elsylee Galetes Artesenals, that’s part of the point.

These delicious, made-to-order cookies have a far grander purpose than your typical baked good: they aim to be miniature works of art, inspired by the artistic and European cultures of the owner’s history, that are anything but ordinary.

Each cookie is named for a city that embodies a specific architectural school. Feeling neo-classical? Much on the Edinburgh – a shortbread cookie with French cocoa – or try the New Delhi – a Valencia Orange Scented Cookie with Curry, Cinnamon, Almonds and Toasted Coconut.

Of course, all this artistic/cultural import would mean nothing if they weren’t tasty, but oh are they ever. In the words of the editor at myGourmetConnection, these morsels are ”sheer perfection in the form of delicious and exotic cookies and sweets.”

You can order these cookies by the dozen or choose from the suggested collections, and they’ll be whipped up to arrive at your door two days later. Sounds like the perfect holiday gift to us!
