Fairytales can come true

Do you believe in fairytales? I do for a variety of reasons, but sometimes life’s reality can put them on the back burner. Luckily, there is one fairytale I can always count on to bring a smile to the day. It doesn’t involve a fairy godmother or prince charming, just decadent frosting and whimsical sprinkles that bring together the fairytale cookie.



The cookie is simply known as a fairytale and it is the most popular cookie at Moveable Feast a catering company with a retail location in downtown Geneva, Illinois. I am fortunate enough to work at Moveable Feast where I am surrounded by wonderful creations, sweet and savory.  Moveable Feast has numerous accomplishments to be proud of, there deeply fudgey brownies have been enjoyed by the likes of Oprah and the Obama family and they recently celebrated their ten year anniversary. The mission at Moveable Feast is help everyone celebrate life through great food and the joy of entertaining. Every time I see a face light up after getting a glance of the fairytale I know they are succeeding in their mission.


The presentation of the cookie alone is fit for royalty. It carries the charm reminiscent of a cupcake, with the flavor and texture of a cookie. It can be described as is in between a sugar and butter cookie with crispy edges, and a softer center. Almond extract gives the cookie their distinct flavor, but nothing steals the show more than the frosting.

Found in a variety of colors the frosting tops the cookie effortlessly as if they were meant to be together. As a person who has tried a variety of frostings, I have never had one like this. It simply melts in your mouth and also carries a hint of almond extract. The sprinkles add the perfect touch.

Some may say that a cookie is just a cookie, but I believe that every cookie has a one of a kind joy. There are millions of chocolate chip cookie recipes, but we all have our own favorites whether it is from the bakery down the street or a cherished family recipe.

When a young child comes in to the shop asking very politely, yet anxiously, for a fairytale I can guarantee a cookie means so much more.
