{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Argyrios Mavrogiorgis is the owner of Cookie Crumz, which opened its first brick-and-mortar location in New York City in November 2021.
Since this is the first presidential election cycle for Cookie Crumz since it opened three years ago, Mavrogiorgis wanted to celebrate American democracy by sharing a recipe for Election Day cookies that is "equal for both parties" and "simple for people to make at home."
The result is "a very simple vanilla spice cookie" that Mavrogiorgis transformed into "cookie sandwiches," he told Fox News Digital.

There are two versions of the cookie – one that's colored red for Republicans, the other blue for Democrats, Mavrogiorgis said.

"I wanted people to remember that, at the core, we're all American," Mavrogiorgis said of his cookie creation.
"We all want to see beautiful things for this country. And, hopefully, whichever candidate does come out [victorious] is able to deliver that for us."
