Abstract
The present invention relates to a cookie and a method for producing the cookie, wherein the method includes forming a cookie from a high melting-point shortening and par-baking the cookies so that it has a moisture level of greater than 5%. Once the cookie has been formed, it can then be placed in a toaster and heated so that when the cookie is removed from the toaster, it will have characteristics similar to a fresh-baked cookie, including flavor, texture, heat, and aroma, without the cookie burning or resulting in drippings or fat dissipating in the toaster.
