soc_puppetCookies inspired by the Main Five (plus the main supervillains):
Ladybug: Strawberry chocolate chip; replace some of the eggs with strawberry puree, maybe add in some food coloring and/or extra strawberry flavor
Cat Noir: Chocolate mint chip; replace some flour with black cocoa (no activated charcoal, we don't actually want to destroy anyone) and use green mint chips; possibly add some extra mint flavor to the dough
Rena Rouge: Orange spice cookies; orange flavoring and coloring, possibly orange zest and orange juice for extra orangey-ness; possibly a pumpkin pie spice blend for the spices? Should have cinnamon and cloves, at the very least, but should not be pumpkin (orange is a livelier flavor and not necessarily season-bound)
Carapace: Matcha flavor;possibly with a white chocolate coating on one side, or some sort of dried fruit (pear???) mixed in? Matcha alone feels incomplete with a lemon-lime or just lime flat icing drizzle (thank you, norakwami!)
Queen Bee:Honey-lemon shortbread; not sure whether to do anything for stripes; possibly some powdered or crystalized ginger for just a touch of spice, but I don't know how well that would do with the other flavors Lemon-ginger shortbread dipped in crystalized honey or with a honey glaze on top (thanks you, redsixwing!)
Hawkmoth: Lavender shortbread, possibly lavender-cardamom; finally, you, too can emulate Ladybug in Stoneheart's reappearance and bite a supervillain's head off!
Mayura: Blueberry thumbprints witha (tart) red fruit tart rhubarb jam in the middle, per chanter1944; can't decide whether to include extra spices, or what sort they would be if so (I need to go sniff-testing herbs; my brain suggests thyme or rosemary, but I don't usually work with a lot of spice-and-fruit combos in the bakery) norakwami says a touch of thyme has good potential, so going with that! Thank you!

ghostlyhamburger suggested an alternate Cat Noir option for folks who don't like mint, so I figured I'd give one to him and to Ladybug, just for the folks who still want to support the big two but might not be interested in the main flavors for whatever reason.
Cat Noir backup: Black cocoa with pistachio; no mint (thank you,ghostlyhamburger!)
Ladybug backup: Adzuki cookies? I want something for the spots, and I'd also prefer not cherry flavor (I'm worried that they'd outsell the "main" strawberry chocolate chip cookies).
Miraculous Cookie: Something vegan and gluten-free* for anyone who's allergic to or intolerant of any of the ingredients in the main LB and CN cookies and the typical backup versions; as few of the Big Eight as possible, hopefully none. No idea about flavor or design.
* Either they'd be only as gluten-free as the Dupain-Cheng Bakery can make them (I assume they're a wheat flour bakery, which means pretty much everything is going to have at least trace amounts of gluten), or they'll have a partnership going with a local GF bakery to get these made.

Date: 2020-02-28 10:45 pm (UTC)They'd be an overnight sensation at the Dupain-Cheng bakery, no doubt. Ladybug and Cat Noir make sure to very publicly "happen by" and get caught eating them, and sales go through the roof; Tom and Sabine hire on
meextra help. They also get a great name going for themselves, giving one Ladybug and Cat Noir cookie each to anyone who gets stuck in their bakery during an akuma attack (with some sort of vegan, gluten-free-ish general Miraculous Cookie option I haven't given a lot of thought to for folks with allergies/sensitivities and stuff)*. They eventually add similarly flavored macarons to their lineup, as well. Adrien is constantly trying to sneak as many Ladybug cookies home as possible, and even Plagg admits the cookies aren't bad (though would it kill them to make some cheese-flavored cookies?). Ladybug also makes sure that the other superheroes get to try their respective flavors, including Chloe./rambling
* Yes, I'm using something like this in Damage Control, the All the Names I Know You By side-story; Tom and Sabine give out macarons to anyone stuck in the bakery, but may switch to these cookies after their daughter's identity is revealed, and slowly add more flavors as other heroes appear.
