Whitney’s Cookies Brings Back Popular Cookie Collaboration with Little Big Town’s Kimberly Schlapman 

(NASHVILLE, TN) — Whitney’s Cookies, the popular gourmet cookie company founded by FOX Television Network's MasterChef winner Whitney Miller, is bringing back their popular cookie collaboration with Little Big Town’s Kimberly Schlapman for a limited time. Kimberly made the announcement on Wednesday, April 16th at the Michael J. Fox Foundation's A Country Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s event in Nashville, which featured appearances by Little Big Town, Chris Stapleton, Dusty Slay, and Willie Geist from NBC’s TODAY. A portion of the proceeds from each cookie box will go to support the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research.

Kimberly and Chef Whitney combined their talents in 2024 to create a taste of the South with their Lemon Blueberry Tea Cake Cookie. From the tangy flavor of lemon to the sweet blueberries, this cookie combines family traditions and Southern flavors. This special collaboration cookie was inspired by Kimberly’s two favorite desserts, her mama's tea cakes (cookie) and lemon blueberry cobbler. Chef Whitney combined these flavors into a lemon cookie made with fresh squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest, studded with sweet jewels of chewy dried blueberries, and finished with a crunchy cobbler crumble.

"Kimberly loves our cookies,” says Chef Whitney. "She is so down-to-earth and fits our brand really well. She brings people joy through her music and her cooking. We bring people joy with our cookies. We hope to both bring people joy through our collaboration cookie.”

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, which is near and dear to both Kimberly and Chef Whitney. Kimberly's mom has Parkinson's disease and Chef Whitney’s grandfather had it as well. 

Available for nationwide shipping, the cookies come packaged in a limited-release custom cookie box and includes either four or six Lemon Blueberry Tea Cake Cookies. ​
