The 6 th Annual Cookies Games was another huge success, demonstrating the extraordinary creativity of ICC’s Professional Culinary Arts and Pastry Arts students. From a record-breaking 23 entries, ICC’s in-house committee narrowed it down to 10 finalists who produced a wide variety of interesting flavors and textures. Examples of this year’s cookie flavors include: taro and coconut, oolong tea and honey, seaweed and white chocolate, buckwheat and prunes, sea buckthorn and sumac—check out the full list of finalist creations below!

The Cookie Games are coming! In a little over a month, Professional Pastry AND Culinary Arts students will bake their hearts out to become the 7th annual Cookie Games winner. In addition to taking home some sweet prizes, the winner will receive bragging rights for their respective department, which some may say is better than the Kenwood mixer they’ll take home!
