Now that Alabama has an official state cookie, a Birmingham coffee roaster is offering a limited-edition coffee blend to go along with it. Earlier this summer, Gov. Kay Ivey signed into law a bill designating a cookie recipe created by Mary Claire Cook , a fourth grader at Montgomery's Trinity Presbyterian School, as the State Cookie of Alabama. Mary Claire named her cookie the Yellowhammer -- a nod to Alabama's state bird and to Alabama's nickname as 'the Yellowhammer State' -- and she collaborated with her grandmother to develop a recipe that features such Alabama ingredients as peanuts, pecans, honey and oats.
