SQUAD SNACKS: MORNING SEX IN PALM SPRINGS

By Ersilia Pompilio | August 2025

Morning sex: some people love it, some people are like “don’t talk to me before coffee.” But what if it came in the form of a warm, gooey cookie that tasted like you just woke up in heaven on 800-thread-count sheets? Welcome to Hot Cookie on Palm Canyon Drive, the Castro District’s most scandalously sweet export — now officially shaking things up in downtown Palm Springs.

This month’s cookie of the month? The Morning Sex Cookie. That’s right. Bold name. Bolder flavor. Their IG sums it up best:

“It’s like breakfast in bed. Thus, the name: Morning Sex.”

And honestly? They weren’t lying.

This cookie goes OFF: buttery base, toffee bits, rich butterscotch, toasted pecans, and a light maple drizzle that tastes like Sunday brunch but also... a little sinful. We bit into it and instantly had a foodgasm — like, eyes-closed, involuntary moan, “Wait, what just happened?” kind of moment. You will need a nap (or a cigarette) after.

Hot Cookie is known for being cheeky (their original shop in SF sells cookies shaped like a penis and a vagina, if you know you know), and they’re bringing that same bold, fun, naughty energy to the desert.

Whether you’re a local babe or just in town for some poolside thirst trapping, make a pit stop. Because Morning Sex in Palm Springs might just be your new favorite guilty pleasure — no walk of shame required.
