Rise of Topped Cookies: A New Culinary Trend

Start-ups are reinventing classic cookies with creative toppings, blending American and European baking traditions.

Cookies are gaining popularity with innovative toppings that appeal to nostalgic memories and visual creativity.
The trend has been recognized by the confectionery industry for its potential in offering diverse and playful varieties.
Cookie Couture, a start-up from Cologne, is expanding with a new store in Stuttgart, showcasing this trend.
The idea originated from the founders' experiences in the US, where topped cookies are a common delight.
The start-up aims to combine American cookie styles with French patisserie and German baking techniques to suit European tastes.
