Christie’s Cookies at Opryland Hotel

Gaylord Opryland Hotel Nashville — Christie's Cookies

We tried (almost!) one of everything at Christie’s Cookies at the Gaylord Opryland hotel in Nashville, TN.

The Gaylord Opryland Hotel is the famous Grand Ole Opry hotel. It’s so huge and beautiful — it’s like a shopping mall and a rainforest all in one!!!

We came across this gorgeous little cookie shop inside the Gaylord Opryland hotel, and it seriously kept calling my name every time we passed by it.

We arrived on a Thursday, but with all of the crazy Blissdom fun, we didn’t have a chance to have our cookie party until Saturday afternoon. All of these gorgeous pastries, cookies, and decadent desserts seriously taunted me for two and a half whole days! Do you know how hard it was to pass by this delicious case every day and not order like fifty cookies before our dessert meetup?? Very hard. Let me tell you.

The best thing about going on a dessert taste-testing spree with five other bloggers is that you can order a TON of desserts. We got one of practically everything at Christie’s Cookies at the Gaylord Opryland hotel!

Loved this cinnamon bun. The middle was perfect: soft, gooey, and loaded with icing.

See that chocolate sphere-shaped thing in the middle here? That was yummy. It was called a “chocolate bomb” and yes. It was the bomb. Sorry to be so ’90s. It was yummy layers of chocolate cake and chocolate mousse all wrapped up in a decadent chocolate ganache topping. Glorious.

You can also order any of the freshly baked cookies with a scoop of cool gelato sandwiched between them. Their flavors sounded amazing. This was salted caramel, it was incredible!

Ooh, I think this one was my favorite. That is a huge layer of buttercream frosting stuffed between two chewy chocolate chip cookies coated in chocolate. Loved this one!! The cookies were perfect.

    That was so much fun! :D I wish we could do that every day…although, I’d be like 1 million pounds. I definitely liked the chocolate bomb and the sugar cookie with the pound of icing on the top the best. ;D

    P.S. The photos look great….definitely beats my iPhone photos.

    I legit just stared at that first picture for a good two minutes. I wish I could smell your pictures. You’re the bomb Amanda! I’m definitely a 90s girl :-)

    All those desserts look sooo AMAZING….i’ve seen this post 3-4 times since morning ;-) loved all the pics…but for some reason I particularly cant take my eyes off the piece of cake right in the middle of the first pic…what exactly was that heavenly thing?? :) I love your blog :)

    1. Amanda

      Hi Shil! It was some kind of chocolate cake. It wasn’t my favorite. :) It looked more fabulous than it tasted! :) The chocolate dome on the far right in the same picture was 10,000 times better!! Swoon! :)

  6. Melissa @ Best Friends For Frosting

    Looks like a magical time. Those desserts look fantastic. Blissbom is on my bucket list!

  7. shelly (cookies and cups)

    I am craving one of those sugar cookies loaded with an ice cream scoop of frosting today! Such a fun time :)

  8. Erin @ Dinners, Dishes, and Desserts

    Would it be wrong to plan a vacation JUST to go here! I think I could spend a week (and 20 pounds) making my way through this place!

    I have a sweet tooth and those deserts are delicious they are making me hungry. How can you maintain your weight while tasting all of these wonderful deserts. I would weigh like 200lbs.

  11. The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh

    It’s not polite to make me short circuit my keyboard with drool this early in the morning! ;-) Oh man, thank God the hotel is so huge so I’ll be able to walk this stuff off!

  12. Erin @ Brownie Bites

    I love the first photo – smorgasboard of SUGAR!! :) I’m so sad I didn’t know Blissdom was going on so near to me – I wish I could have been there!

  13. Molly at Duchess of Fork

    This was so much fun, Amanda! Thanks for letting me tag along. I’d have to say the cookies with embarrassing amounts of icing were my favorites.

  14. Maggie Herrington

    OK, how is it you don’t weigh 600 pounds? I’ve given up sweets to lose weight and can’t look at your blog anymore!

  15. Danni
