{"title":"Johnny's Cookies","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohnny sold gourmet cookies locally around 2012-2014 and shipped online seasonally. Johnny's cookies and recipes were shelved when he traded a kitchen for a warehouse, but now that we have eliminated our warehousing we can now get back to the kitchen. All of our cookies are handmade, labor intensive so there are no refunds. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnjoy Johnny \u0026amp; Elle's cookies year round and share with family and friends. Each package is weighed to 7 oz, and amounts vary but can be between 9 and 14 cookies depending on type and thickness. Each cookie is handmade, so there are some variations in thickness and width, which is why we sell by weight and not by number. Thank you all for your consideration - Johnny\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"maurice-lenell-pinwheel-cookies-johnnys-version-a-chicago-classic-cookie-recreated","title":"Classic Chicago Pinwheel Cookies (Johnny's Version) A Chicago Classic Cookie Recreated in the style of Maurice Lenell","description":"\u003cp\u003ePinwheels will ship with the rest of your order, but they are consistently backed up. If you want an update on estimated time of delivery please reach out. We anticipate that these are going to be backed up far beyond the holiday, so the earlier you can get your order in the better off you will be as orders are packed in order received. Thank you all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho else grew up on Maurice Lenell cookies around the holidays, grabbing a bucket of broken pieces, or picking up gift boxes at Jewel? I absolutely miss the Maurice Lenell Pinwheel Cookies form the year they went under. I tried a few recipes from the internet, and they are all way off the mark. To me, Maurice Lenell Pinwheel Cookies were a crumbly cookie with a slightly salty finish and the slightest hint of cocoa, but mostly they were about a coating of the mouth and rich butter and fat. I spent decades thinking about recreating these cookies, and after a lot of calculations and experiments I finally recreated my version of Maurice Lenell Pinwheel Cookies!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNearly every product from Johnny And Elles is an often long, experimental process in which Johnny get’s out a spreadsheet, takes notes, explores flour types of fat content, noting tastes and textural differences, and creating a unique product that is distinctly Johnny And Elle. However, the creation of Maurice Lenell Pinwheel Cookies had a different approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnny And Elle went back to memory, since Maurice Lenell is no longer around, and copycat recipes online, though they may be fine cookies, are not what we remember as Maurice Lenell Pinwheel Cookies. For over a decade Johnny had been thinking about these cookies, wanting to take a stab at recreating them (even though Johnny notoriously likes to work on his own, creating something unique), for the goal of this project was to replicate something that already exists. But, not to make something that already exists better, but to recreate something that no longer exists. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cu\u003eTurns out there are plenty of Chicagoans and Chicago transplants that truly miss the stiff, rich, slightly salty, hint of cocoa, iconic and classic Maurice Lenell Pinwheel Cookies. With Johnny’s background in Chicago food, it only makes sense to offer Johnny And Elles recreated Maurice Lenell Pinwheel Cookies. It is especially fitting to be offering them for the holidays, for that’s when Johnny had them growing up. These are truly the best holiday gifts from classic Chicagoans.\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFlavors Of Note: Sweet, Buttery, Salted Finish, Hint Of Cocoa\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chicago Johnnys ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42764217548894,"sku":null,"price":12.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1952\/7299\/files\/Pinwheel_Cookies_Front_Shot.jpg?v=1778774059"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1952\/7299\/collections\/520876863_1299109162220342_7384297483801421226_n.jpg?v=1794592650","url":"https:\/\/www.chicagojohnnys.com\/collections\/johnnys-cookies.oembed","provider":"Chicago Johnnys ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
