{"product_id":"graham-star-cookies-5-lb","title":"Graham Star Cookies - 5 LB","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eGraham Star Cookies from Cookies United are graham cracker cookies coated in chocolate and decorated with nonpareils. They come packed in a 5 lb bulk box, approximately 48 cookies per pound. This is a finished, ready-to-serve cookie built for volume, available in bulk and wholesale quantities for bakeries, delis, caterers, grocery bakery departments, and foodservice operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe graham star is a nostalgic item, the kind of cookie that turns up on a bakery counter, a party platter, or a deli case and reads as familiar before anyone reads the label. The chocolate coating and the nonpareil finish do the decorating, so the cookie arrives finished and needs nothing done to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n\n  \u003cdiv class=\"full_description\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the Graham Star Is\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe base is a graham cracker cookie, so the flavor starts from the honey-wheat note of graham rather than a plain sugar cookie. Over that sits a chocolate coating, and across the top are nonpareils, the small round sprinkles that give the cookie its speckled finish and a light crunch on the bite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe result is a cookie that works on texture as much as flavor: the snap of the graham base, the set of the chocolate coating, and the bead of the nonpareils. It is a simple build, which is the point. There is nothing on it to melt, wilt, or go soft in a display case over a normal service day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuying by Weight, Not by Count\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThis item is sold by the pound rather than by the piece, packed 5 lb to a box at roughly 48 cookies per pound, which puts a full box in the range of 240 cookies. For a platter or a bulk case operation, weight is the useful unit, because it maps to portioning and to cost per serving more directly than a piece count does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe bulk pack also means the cookies arrive loose in the box rather than individually wrapped. That is efficient for a bakery filling its own case or building its own platters, and it is a consideration if the end use needs individual wrapping, which would be a separate step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere the Graham Star Earns Its Place\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eThe cookie is a workhorse rather than a showpiece. It fills the middle of a mixed cookie platter, it holds a price point in a grab-and-go case, and it carries a nostalgic recognition that a fancier cookie does not. For catering and high-volume service, a finished cookie that needs no decorating and no assembly is a labor line that disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eIt also crumbles well, which opens a second use. Broken down, the graham-and-chocolate combination works as a topping or a layer component in a plated dessert, a parfait, or an ice cream build, which lets a kitchen get two uses out of one bulk box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cul\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eMixed cookie platters and trays\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eBakery and deli display cases\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eGrab-and-go retail packaging\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCatering and buffet service\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eParty and event dessert tables\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eGrocery bakery departments\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCoffee shop and cafe counters\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eCrumbled dessert toppings\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eParfait and sundae components\u003c\/li\u003e\n      \u003cli\u003eInstitutional and volume foodservice\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergen Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eContains Wheat, Egg, Milk, and Soy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage and Handling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n    \u003cp\u003eStore dry.
