“Oh my Gosh!!!” exclaimed my five year old when he saw the Pumpkin
Moose Pie being removed from the package.
That sentiment pretty much sums it up. Red Moose Cookie Company does indeed make
some seriously fantastic, unique cookies.
With names like Cinnful, Nutless Wonder, and Root Beer
Float, it’s hard to pick your poison.
Not to worry, they are all simply delicious. I’ve tried a few and plan to go back for the
Root Beer Float cookies. Customers are taking two of these cookies, made with a root beer float reduction, and sticking a scoop of vanilla ice cream
in the middle to get the full root beer float effect…yum! A must try.
Here’s the low down on the three I have tried:
Peanut Butter Dream: Made with extra crunchy peanut butter
and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, a peanut butter lover’s dream. The cookies are BIG and full of yummy peanut
butter goodness. Soft and fresh baked.
Cinnful: The cookie that started it all. An oatmeal cookie with cinnamon chips, toffee
chips, and walnuts. I thought it would
be too sticky sweet, but the balance of the hearty oatmeal and the walnuts with
the sweet chips is a genius concoction.
Pumpkin Moose Pie (this is a seasonal treat)- take two soft
pumpkin spice cookies and smoosh them together with a decadent brown butter and
vanilla bean cream. Again, upon looking
at, I thought it would be super rich and sweet.
But the creamy rich filling is perfectly off set by the spicy, doughy
cookies. A perfect match.
Getting your hands on these treats is not easy. There is no website, but they do ship. You can go to their Yelp page for phone
number and information. If you happen to
be in Cambria, keep your eye out for their sandwich board signs around
town. The shop is located in the “Tin City” district, which is a bit removed from the main street area. Red Moose does a great job leading you from
Main Street to their little bakery via sign.
It’s reminiscent of a treasure hunt.
But, if you don’t see signs, you may be out of luck. According to co-owner and baker, Roger Wall,
they’ve had to take signs down several times this year due to sell out.
Get hold of these cookies and try for yourself! They will not disappoint.
