The Graceful Cookie Company’s Strawberry Milkshake Cookie Wins Award at the 2026 Sweets & Snacks Expo
The Strawberry Milkshake Cookie, a product from The Graceful Cookie Company, won “Most Innovative New Product Award” in the baked goods category at the 2026 Sweets & Snacks Expo, which took place in Las Vegas.
The line of cookies, which includes the Strawberry Milkshake, Lemon Cheesecake and Blueberry Pie flavors were the idea of Chef David Dodson, who wanted to put the nostalgic tastes in cookies.
Chef Dodson stated: “We want to spread joy the best way we know how, with simply the best cookies we can make, […] We know how nostalgic cookies in particular can be for people of all ages, so it was really important to us to deliver that authentic, positive sense-memory from childhood of the perfect cookie but also have fun with the flavors. We’re really proud of what we’ve been able to create using clean ingredients and never compromising on quality.”
Chef David Dodson heads The Graceful Cookie Co. based in Vallejo, California and crafts premium cookies designed for retail, wholesale, and foodservice operations.
