That's the way the cookie crumbles: NYC

Big Apple Bites

This post was a long time in the making...I LOVE COOKIES. So, naturally, finding the best cookies in New York City was a blog-worthy mission. During this quest, my taste buds died and went to heaven. Without further ado...

The Cookie Champion: Levain Bakery

Your heart will stop beating when you taste Levain Bakery cookies. This small Upper West Side bakeshop has some of the most amazing cookies and baked goods I have ever eaten.

167 West 74th Street

Their famous chocolate chip walnut cookies are essentially cookie dough in the center with a perfect, crisp exterior.

You can't begin to imagine how delicious these are.

Late Night Cookies: Insomnia Cookies

At $1.00/cookie, Insomnia Cookies is every college kids dream. Did I mention they deliver warm, fresh-baked cookies until 3:00 AM?

Three locations in the city: Upper West Side, Murray Hill, and West 8th Street

"Baked Right Late Night"

Cookies for Chocoholics: Jacques Torres & City Bakery

Do you remember this blog post in January: New York Times Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe? Well, this cookie was based on Jacques Torres's famous chocolate chip cookie...

You won't find one bite without chocolate.

Jacques Torres locations: Upper West Side, Rockefeller Plaza, and Chelsea Market

Another chocoholic's favorite cookie is from The City Bakery. The City Bakery's melted chocolate chip cookie is buttery, luscious, and so chocolately it almost tastes like a brownie in the middle. There are a zillion other decadent baked goods being pumped out of this kitchen as well (including heavenly pretzel croissants)...

Cookies for the Rare Non-Chocoholic: Sugar Plumm & Levain Bakery (again)

Yes, people who don't love chocolate do exist. Weird, right? On the bright side, there are some incredible cookies sans chocolat. First up is the Creme Brulee cookie from Sugar and Plumm Bakery on Bleecker Street...

Chewy creme brulee center with a crispy, sugar-dusted exterior. It was like a sugar cookie on steroids.

Secondly, Levain Bakery tops the cookie list AGAIN with its Bomboloncini...interesting name, delicious cookie...

It's like a cookie dressed up as a doughnut.

"Bomboloncini" are soft-baked dough filled with raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar...sweet, tart, fluffy, non-chocolate deliciousness...
