Caroline Cookies's Dubai chocolate cookie.
It’s been almost two years since FIX Dessert Chocolatier’s Dubai handcrafted chocolate bar—a confection made with pistachio-tahini cream and knafeh—went wildly viral on TikTok. Caroline Merryman, owner of Caroline’s Cookies, admitted that when she launched her version of a Dubai Chocolate cookie in August she figured she was late to the game. The response has proven otherwise; in her shops across Lafayette and Baton Rouge, she can’t keep the flavor on the shelves. Most mornings, there is a line out the door at opening time, and she frequently runs out of stock before noon.
Responding to the frenzy, she has promised that September will bring a new twist to the popular recipe: a Dubai Chocolate Chip Sandwich, with two chocolate chip cookies holding together a melty semi-sweet chocolate and crunchy pistachio Kitaifi filling, drizzled in chocolate and pistachio pieces.
