c is for cookie
Nothing satisfies a mid-afternoon sugar plunge like a gooey, chewy, sugary cookie. Herewith, our picks for the city’s champion cookies.
Herbivore’s vegan cookie is loaded enough to feed a family of four—a frontrunner for gold.
Crisp-edged but soft in the center, with a superb salty-sweet contrast, Sweet Flour’s oatmeal chocolate chip grabs silver while the bronze goes to Le Gourmand’s sweet milk chocolate mega-cookie.
Special mentions go to the pistachio, chocolate chunk at the Harbord Bakery and the super soft ginger snap from Wanda’s Pie in the Sky. Soft, gooey and delicious, The Drake Café whips up some great cookies and the confections at Dark Horse are strong contenders too.
Look, it’s not the healthiest snack, but hey, that’s just how the cookie crumbles.
