In a match made in Nashville heaven, Hattie B’s and Christie Cookie have teamed up to serve spicy chocolate cookies at both hot chicken restaurants in town.

Starting this week, Hattie B’s Hot Chicken is serving the limited-edition “Nashville Hot” cookie at its restaurants at 112 19th Ave. S. in Midtown and 5209 Charlotte Ave. in West Nashville.

The dark chocolate cookie is packed with chocolate chips, cayenne and chili pepper.

“The Nashville Hot cookie envelops all the best flavors of our hometown’s famous dish,” said Fleming Wilt, president of Christie Cookie, in a statement. “Combining flavorful spices with dark chocolate makes for a special taste. We wanted to work with a local brand to offer the Nashville Hot cookie, and we are thrilled that Hattie B’s was on board with the idea.”

Christie Cookie was founded in 1983 in downtown Nashville. Today, the company produces more than 50 million cookies a year from its bakery at 1205 3rd Ave. N. in Germantown, where it also has a bakery storefront for retail sales.

Father-and-son team, Nick Bishop, Sr. and Nick Bishop, Jr., opened the first Hattie B’s in Midtown in 2012. The restaurant has quickly become a Nashville favorite, drawing crowds of locals and tourists alike.
