Get excited: a new dessert truck will soon be on the Chicago food truck scene! Mama Green’s Gourmet Goodies. We contacted Mama Green’s and they told us on July 14, 2011 that they’d be on the road “in 2 weeks.”

On their website, they say that “each of our gourmet goodies comes from our very own collection of heirloom family recipes.” The photos of the food they serve look a lot like what my grandma makes, so it already looks like they deliver on their promise of nostalgic sweets. However, their cookies aren’t just the standard oatmeal raisin variety (which they do sell), they will also offer options that are new to me, like chewy carrot spice.

The one menu item I am most anxious to try is the Red Velvet Crunch cookie. I’ve mentioned that I love red velvet cupcakes, and this inventive variation looks delicious. It is described as follows: “A classic American cake transformed into a moist and chewy cookie with a crispy crunch outer edge. Don’t worry, we didn’t forget the traditional cream cheese topping. Instead, we hid it inside as a sweet surprise.”

We’ll be sure to add them to our list of trucks once they start scheduling stops. You can bet I’ll be one of the first in line!

Check out their sale with Gilt Group going on now through Thursday 7/21!
