HEC Cookie Contest Winner Announced
On Monday, January 28, SHA students were treated to samples of the HEC Cookie Contest’s final eight recipes in the World Atrium. Ranging from cookies containing potato chips to more traditional oatmeal cookies, each recipe was extremely delicious, making for a tough competition.
In the end, freshman hotelie Allison Stover took down the competition with her “Chocolate Truffle Cookies.” An adaptation of a recipe from The Gourmet Cookbook, this recipe wowed voters with its rich chocolate flavoring and subtle hints of espresso.
But the espresso component was not a part of the original recipe. According to Allison, “I made the decision to add espresso to the recipe because chocolate and coffee are simply wonderful together…[the espresso] adds a complexity and really enhances the flavor.”
For Allison, the decision to enter the “Chocolate Truffle Cookies” into the competition was an easy one. She claims that “after making the recipe I was sold.” And apparently, so were the other hotelies lucky enough to get a taste of her winning creation.
Allison’s “Chocolate Truffle Cookies” and her winning recipe will be a featured amenity in each Statler guestroom during HEC 83, appealing to the sweet teeth of alumni and industry leaders alike.
