Family Recipes
Growing up Alicia´s family loved to bake. She and her siblings were always helping their mom bake some sort of tasty treat after school. Alicia´s grandmother, Mugga, would always keep a jar of chocolate chip cookie dough in the fridge for when they would visit.
​
Many of the cookies and baked goods at El Cookie come from Alicia's family's recipes. The Halfway cookies are from Mugga's cookbook and the brownies are smiliar to ones her mom would make. The cinnamon rolls are Alicia's own recipe that she created in high school.
​
The cookies and baked goods are a nod to an American childhood and are like nothing else here in Alicante.

Handmade from Scratch
All our cookies and baked goods are handmade in the kitchens of El Cookie from scratch. We use all natural ingredients and everything is made fresh.
​
Our superior attention to detail, high quality ingredients and most importantly love and passion for cookies can be tasted in each bite! Did you know we even make our own vanilla? It´s made with Tahitian vanilla beans aged 6 months to a year. Each batch of cookies also takes over 24-hours from start to finish. This allows for a more complex depth of flavors and soft and chewy texture that you´ll find nowhere else.

Why choose our cookies
At El Cookie we want to share our joy each time you eat one of our delicious homemade cookies. They are unlike anything you will find in Alicante and here is why:
We take time and effort
Most places buy their cookies and baked goods from a factory or wholesale store, but at El Cookie each batch of cookies is handmade here by us. Batches of cookies can take between 12 to 24 hours to make from start to finish! Once the dough is made the ingredients need to rest in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to develop.
We use high quality ingredients
We purchase our ingredients locally to make sure they are as fresh as possible. We use an American-style muscovado brown sugar which is moister, more flavorful, and has a smaller grain than the typical raw cane sugar used by other places. This makes our cookies soft but also gives them a rich flavor.
We make our own vanilla extract
We infuse high-quality Tahitian vanilla beans over many months to extract a deep and complex flavor. Other places use imitation vanilla which has a chemical taste to it. Our vanilla is homemade using only two ingredients. You can taste the difference.
We use Family recipes
Our cookie recipes are tried and true, straight from the kitchens of America. These recipes, used by our parents and grandparents are the heart of El Cookie. The love, authenticity, and tradition we bring to our cookies are unmatched by others.
