This Local Cookie Brand Offers Delicious Cookies With a Filipino Twist

The surge in local cookie businesses has grown exponentially just over quarantine, offering a mountain of selections for our sweet tooth. While you hunt down your favorite cookie in Manila, one cookie brand that we think deserves your consideration is Manila Cookie Story.

Manila Cookie Story was established in 2018, offering unique shortbread cookies that would disrupt the local pasalubong market. What sets them apart isn’t limited to their Filipino-themed cookie flavours, but as well as the packaging that puts the spotlight on Filipino culture and traditions.

If you’re a cookie fiend yourself, you’ll love Manila Cookie Story’s selection. Their locally baked shortbread cookies are available in four different flavors - all of which bring forth a unique Filipino taste. In addition to their unique taste, the cookies have been shaped like the eight-ray sun we see on the Philippine flag.

Their original butter or mantequilla shortbread cookie goes perfectly with coffee, and is reminiscent of childhood butter cookies that came in tin cans. They also have the dark tsokolate chip cookie, ingredients of which have been sourced from South Cotabato. For coffee lovers, you’ll love the kape barako flavor, which is a coffee variant sourced from Batangas and Cavite popular for its strong flavor. The fourth flavor is the queso de bola, a noche buena staple for Filipinos on Christmas eve. 

Manila Cookie Story’s cookies are packed in Philippine-themed containers that are designed locally, too! Each collection considers our Filipino culture and history, and customers can currently choose from three variations: the Jeepney Collection, the Weaving Collection and the Festival Collection.

While the Jeepney Collection is available in several colorways, the Weaving Collection features popular design patterns such as the barong, inabel, and yakan to name few; and the Festival Collection showcases designs inspired by well-loved festivals around the country such as the Ati-atihan Festival, Kaamulan Festival and Parol Festival.
