July 2025: Cookie of the Month Green Line

This month, we’re continuing our tasty trek through Boston’s iconic MBTA lines with our Green Line cookie — a minty-fresh delight inspired by one of the city’s liveliest routes. This cookie is packed with rich chocolate chips and cool Andes mint candies, capturing the fresh, breezy vibe of a ride down the Green Line. (The smooth part of the ride. You know, before it stops in the middle of the tunnel.)

As Boston’s Craft Cookie Company, we’ve been on a mission to create a unique cookie for every MBTA line. It started with the Red Line and a red velvet classic. Then came the Blue Line, which had us scratching our heads — until we landed on a blueberry ginger combo that turned out so good. The Orange Line inspired a creamsicle cookie with orange and white chocolate. Each one has been its own flavor journey, and yes — each one has presented a very Boston challenge.

Making a green cookie? That was its own saga.

I’m not big on food coloring (I avoid it whenever I can), and the thought of adding enough to turn a cookie actually green? Gag-worthy. I’ve done it before with matcha in our Celtics-inspired Green Dynastea, but I wanted something different. Something with minty flavor and a little color kick.

Enter: green crème de menthe.
Yes, the same bottle that probably still lives in your grandma’s liquor cabinet next to the dusty Galliano. I figured it might give me the mint and the color. The only problem? When I walked across the street to ask the liquor store if they carried it… they laughed at me. Loudly. Jokes were made. My age was questioned. Respect was lost.

Eventually, I had a bottle delivered. Then I wondered… if this cookie actually worked, could I even keep getting crème de menthe? Luckily, I knew a gal. (I am a gal.) Problem solved.

We got to work, and much like a real ride on the Green Line — this cookie was an adventure. A little slow, a little weird, kind of nostalgic... but definitely worth the trip.

Now, the final result?
A mint chocolate chip cookie, made with real crème de menthe and packed with chocolate chips and Andes mint candies. Cool. Refreshing. A little retro. A little bold.

Just like Boston. 💚

Every cookie we make is a little love letter to this city, and this month’s edition is no different. We hope you enjoy Green Line as much as we loved creating it.

Don't Crumble,

Heather
