Edible Coffee Cookie Cup

You can buy a reusable coffee mug for sure, which will keep your coffee experience nice and green, but the typical reusable coffee mug lacks the pizazz and fun factor of the edible Cookie Cup. The Cookie Cup is a totally edible cup designed by Enrique Luis Sardi with the innovation team at the Lavazza Training Centre and Cataldo Parisi, head chef of the confectioner’s kitchen at Number 10 San Tommaso.

Cookie Cup is made of pastry but covered with a special waterproof icing. After you drink your brew you eat the cup, feed it to the birds, or toss it because it’ll simply biodegrade – no waste. I’m not sure if the Cookie Cup is on the market yet and I’m wondering if you could make an organic homemade form for parties. I looked around and found a recipe for cookie cups, but to make them drink ready you’d need to shape them better plus add an inner glaze of sorts.

Still, on the market or not, it’s a pretty swell green idea. Especially if they come out with a chocolate version!
