About Cookies and Cream
Cookies and Cream was bred by Exotic Genetix (based in the Pacific Northwest) by crossing Starfighter (a Triangle Kush x Appalachia hybrid) with an elite Girl Scout Cookies cut. The result is a perfectly balanced hybrid with a unique terpene profile that genuinely smells and tastes like cookies and cream — sweet vanilla, cream, dough, and a hint of gas. The buds are dense and resinous with light green and purple coloration. The effects are balanced and versatile: a euphoric, uplifting head high with gentle body relaxation. Cookies and Cream won the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup, cementing Exotic Genetix as a major breeder and inspiring countless dessert-named strains.
