Max's Deli's New York Style Black & White Jumbo Cake Cookie for this Valentine’s Day

Looking
for a fresh idea to satisfy a Valentine’s Day sweet tooth or a creative way to
send a message of love? Skip the customary chocolate candies and red roses, and
go for something ‘black and white’. Max’s Delicatessen &
Restaurant
is offering
their traditional New York style Black & White Cake Cookie in jumbo size that
can be personalized with a special message of love.



 



Originating
in New York, the Black & White cookie is a rare find in Chicago.  But Max’s Delicatessen & Restaurant,
recognized as Chicago’s N.Y. Deli on the North Shore, has perfected the
cake-like creation and touts it as a best seller.

“Our
Black & White cookies are one of the most popular take-away items in our
deli case,” says Joey Morelli, chef and owner of Max’s Delicatessen &
Restaurant. “We’ve turned the everyday popular treat into a giant 20” Black
& White cake cookie using cupcake batter for a delicious and fun gift alternative
for Valentine’s Day.”

Rather
than choose between vanilla or chocolate, Max’s New York style Black & White jumbo cookie
cake is iced with a shiny, half-vanilla, half-chocolate fondant frosting. A variety of other jumbo cookie cakes
are also available for Valentine’s Day. Cookie cakes take 24 to 48 hours,
depending on artwork, and are priced from $34.95 to $39.95.



Need
help with that romantic dinner? Takeout food options from Max’s Deli are also
available on Valentine’s Day and every day.
