MOLTN Cookies Launches New Ube White Chocolate Cookie

MOLTN Cookies, the Arlington-founded dessert brand known for baking every cookie fresh to order, has launched its new Ube White Chocolate Cookie at all six MOLTN locations.

The 4.5-ounce premium cookie combines a thick, soft-baked ube-flavored dough with creamy white chocolate and a coating of crystal sugar for a lightly crunchy finish. Like every MOLTN cookie, it is placed in the oven only after an order is received and served warm.

The new cookie is available now at MOLTN locations in Arlington, Ashburn and Chantilly, Virginia; Dupont Circle and Takoma Park in Washington, D.C.; and Newark, Delaware.

“Ube is visually striking, but we did not want to create something that was popular only because of its color,” said Neal Miglani, founder and owner of MOLTN Cookies. “We focused on making a cookie that tastes just as memorable as it looks. Ube’s mellow, slightly nutty and vanilla-like flavor works incredibly well with creamy white chocolate, while the crystal sugar gives every bite a little texture.”

Pronounced “oo-beh,” ube is a purple yam with deep roots in Filipino cuisine, where it has long been used in desserts including cakes, ice cream and ube halaya. Its growing appearance in baked goods, beverages and desserts has helped introduce the flavor to a wider American audience.

According to food and beverage research firm Datassential, the presence of ube on U.S. restaurant menus has increased by more than 230 percent during the past four years.

“We are always looking for flavors that give customers a reason to try something new without losing the warm, indulgent experience they expect from MOLTN,” Miglani said. “This cookie does exactly that.”

The Ube White Chocolate Cookie starts at $4.99, with pricing varying by location. It can be ordered individually or included in eligible cookie boxes for pickup or delivery through MOLTN’s website and participating delivery platforms.
