McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams has launched House-Baked Cookies in addition to Organic Fine Ice Creams. Based in Santa, Clara, California, McConnell’s brand has been active in the ice creams, dairy and desserts market for 75 years.
“We are thrilled to expand upon our legacy of creating the finest, artisan ice creams and baked goods,” said Michael Palmer, chief executive officer of the third generation family owned company. “For years, our guests have loved the house-baked cookies we offer in our McConnell’s scoop shops. Now, they can finally enjoy them at home, alongside our new line of Organic Fine Ice Creams. And as always, everything is made 100% from scratch by our team.”
Selling at a suggested retail price of $9.99, the Fine Ice Creams House-Baked Cookies provide the same high quality of cookies found in McConnell’s ice creams and scoop shops The flash-frozen treats are ready to serve after oven heating for a few minutes to achieve a melty, gooey interior. Packaged in one-of-a-kind, novelty ice cream pints, the three flavors now available are detailed below.
• Chocolate Chunk: From its buttery, slightly crispy outer shell, to its soft, chewy and gooey core, the melt-in-your-mouth cookie is filled with chunks of bittersweet, Guittard chocolate.
• Brownie Cookie: Deep dark cocoa alongside rich, velvety chunks of Guittard chocolate, with just a touch of sea salt.
• Peanut Butter: With a slightly crackled, crunchy exterior, the center features warm and chewy, salty-sweet and creamy peanut butter. Speckled with salt-roasted peanuts, it’s promoted as a “peanut butter cookie for the ages.”
McConnell’s Fine Ice Creams Organic Fine Ice Creams, priced at $12.99 per container, are made from organic, grass-fed dairy and feature organic cookie and brownie inclusions created from scratch at McConnell’s on-site bake room. The line has debuted with four exciting flavors, as detailed below.
• Brownies, Cookies & Fudge: McConnell’s-own, house-baked brownies and chocolate chunk cookies, folded into lightly salted, organic sweet cream, and topped with swirls of organic, gooey chocolate fudge.
• Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie: Organic dark cocoa, melted into organic milk and cream, then paired with thick, creamy peanut butter, and studded with rich, chocolaty, house-baked brownies.
• Golden State Vanilla: Assertive, rich and floral with Madagascar (Bourbon) vanilla sourced from R.R. Lochhead.
• Strawberries & Shortbread Cookies: Picked-at-their-peak, organic Santa Barbara strawberries, cooked down to jammy consistency, then stirred into decadent sweet cream ice cream, and accompanied by chunks of house-baked shortbread cookies.
The Organic Ice Cream and House-Baked Cookies are now available at Southern California scoop shops and for purchase online. The range will be listed at Gelson’s Market coming later this month.
