A dramatic, ultra-gourmet cookie made with rich black cocoa dough, creamy white chocolate chips, and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth vanilla cake ball center. This flavor is bold, indulgent, and visually stunning — a true “dessert dressed in its finest,” which is exactly why we call it Black Tie Affair.

The dough is intensely chocolatey (thanks to black cocoa) yet smooth, soft, and never bitter. Inside, the vanilla cake ball (with both homemade and cake-mix versions included) is dense, moist, and perfectly tender — made without frosting so it isn’t overly sweet or gooey.

Optional toppings include a Hershey’s Cookies & Cream piece and an Oreo for a fun textural contrast — but the cookie stands beautifully on its own.
