National Cookie Day is coming up on Sunday, December 4. If you are planning a spotlight feature on America’s favorite sweet treat, I hope that you will consider including cookies from Lizzie Lu Luxury Treats. Owner, T’Juanna Winters uses a family recipe for Butter Cookies passed down for generations and tops each cookie with a warm butter glaze and various fruit toppings, so it ends up resembling a cobbler. T’Juanna call them Shookies, because you will be shooketh when you taste how incredibly delicious these cookies are.
At Lizzie Lu Luxury Treat, they use the freshest ingredients and limitless imagination to create high-quality candies, cakes and cookies in flavor profiles, both traditional and imaginative, packaged to impress the receiver. The family recipes T’Juanna Winters uses have been passed down over the years and reimagined for new generations of fans to enjoy them.

We sat down with sister Nita today because we needed to find out why people were flocking to this shop located next to Cultivar. Continue reading

Each year CraveDFW celebrates the Girl Scouts, but this is next level at the Galleria.
For the past seven years, Galleria Dallas has hosted teams of local Girl Scouts as they practiced design, engineering and architecture skills with Cookie Box Creations.

For more than 80 years, Girl Scouts have sold cookies to raise funds to support their scouting activities. Today, the sale of Girl Scout Cookies raises more than $800 million each year, making the Girl Scout Cookie Program the largest girl-led business in the country.
Girl Scout Cookies got their start in the kitchens of Girl Scouts and their mothers. Girl Scouts began to sell cookies as a way to finance their scouting activities as early as 1917, just five years after Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low started the first Girl Scout group in Savannah, Georgia.
