SO… against my better judgment I went over there today. There must me some location specific magic happening because the cookie I got tasted no better than the toll house cookie rolls you buy at Gristedes and cook at home….right down to the slightly artificial preservative taste.

the best cookies are from taste, a new cookie place. we order from them for meetings in my office and to send to clients. they are unreal. fresh, creative and top notch ingredients. I don’t know if they have a store yet or not, but we order from the website. http://www.tasteccookies.com

About 2 years ago, our office was on a Pret kick and we used to call ahead to have them bake a tray for us. We did this over a span of 6 months, sometimes more than twice a week.

Believe me, when they just come out of the oven, all hot and gooey, they are really good. Sometimes when you walk into the store at the right time, the aroma of the the baking cookies is all you can smell.

Most of us also packed on an extra 10-15 lbs.

Pret has a good Harvest cookie. I don’t recall their chocolate chunk being top dog though. Oh well.

PRET???? SERIOUSLY? Hardest, driest cookie known to man (thanks to sitting in that warmer for hours). And the chocolate they use isn’t anything to write home about.

Chocolate chip cookies are GAWD’s gift to old men who have spent their entire life getting edicated, being good, and pleasing all the ladies.

That cookie does look pretty good for a New Yawk City cookie.

But, pshaw, I can’t see drivin’ in to the Apple for a cookie, so I will have to do with the beauties that my lovely young wife bakes for me weekly.

Cheers!
