\u00a0<\/span>A cookie is the ultimate dessert for those who love warm sweet things. Breaking a freshly baked cookie in half and sensing the smell of sugar is at the top of everybody\u2019s pleasure list. Have a glass of milk or coffee on the side, and oh my! You\u2019ve peaked. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here we present you with a list of the 12 best cookies in NYC. Many of these bakeries are famous all over the country and are always packed with cookie lovers for good reason. Their creations are heavenly, so make sure to try at least one of them during your visit to New York!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Levain Bakery<\/span><\/a> is synonymous with quality cookies. Every New Yorker has been there or at least has heard of it once in their life.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The cookies here are chunky, thick, and packed with flavor. Some of them even look like scones. Their Chocolate Chip Walnut and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip cookies are the two most famous options.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Levain locations are now found in many cities across the US. Still, the original Upper West Side unit is a classic and worth visiting.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Maman<\/span><\/a> is a must-try cookie destination with units spread all over New York. The beauty of this bakery is that it only offers three flavors of cookies: Oatmeal Vanilla Raisin, Nutty Chocolate Chip, and Smores. Each of these recipes has been worked to perfection, and it saves you the pressure and anxiety of having to choose from too many options.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n PS: If you still need convincing, note that Oprah has named the Nutty Chocolate Chip cookie from Maman one of her favorite treats in the world.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n What if a PB&J sandwich came in the form of a cookie? At <\/span>Chip City<\/span><\/a>, this is a popular flavor where the salty and sweet mix drips from the inside of a cookie once you break it in half.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Thought that was interesting? Wait until you try the Everything Bagel flavor and the Red Velvet with hot chocolate pouring down its interior.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Chip City opened in 2017, and it already has units in Brooklyn, Queens, and Lower Manhattan. Their gooey cookies and creative flavors are becoming popular all over New York and maybe the entire country. They ship their cookie dough for you to bake at home as well!\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Mah-Ze-Dahr<\/span><\/a>\u2019s \u201cDark Chocolate Explosion\u201d is what happens when a cookie and a brownie fall in love and have a baby. Chewy and soft, this sugar-coated treat has the right amount of sweetness to it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n With roots in the West Village<\/a>, they became so famous they opened another unit in Midtown. Here, you can try many other desserts as well, but the cookies are a must. The Vanilla Choux flavor is unique, with vanilla cream inside a simple sugar cookie crust.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Jacques Torres Chocolate<\/span><\/a> is famous for its giant chocolate chip cookie, with plenty of chocolate chunks mixed with the batter. Although it looks dry and crackly from the outside (since it is flatter than the other cookies on this list), it is actually extraordinarily chewy and soft on the inside.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since Jacques Torres specializes in chocolate, the texture and consistency of the chocolate chunks in this cookie make it one of the best in the city. The dough mixes cake and cookie batter, creating a unique consistency.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Dominique Ansel<\/span><\/a> innovated how we pair our cookies with milk, turning the treat into the cup itself. Here, the cookie shots are humble in flavor, covered with a chocolate layer on the inside to hold the milk and make sure it doesn\u2019t break apart as you eat it.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Previously famous for their cronuts (a marriage between a croissant and a donut), the lines to enter the bakery can sometimes go around the block.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Culture Espresso<\/span><\/a> is a coffee shop that serves one of the best chocolate chip cookies in the city. The magic here is to work creatively with such a simple treat. <\/span>Crispy on the outside, chewy and buttery on the inside, and with not too many chocolate chips, this cookie recipe has reached perfection.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n These cookies are baked every day and melt in your mouth. They\u2019re especially perfect when paired with some freshly brewed coffee<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Insider’s Tip:<\/strong> Looking for even more sweets? Check out our list of the best donuts in NYC<\/a>!<\/p>\n The Good Batch<\/span><\/a> is known for its Tahini Chocolate Chunk cookie, which perfectly balances saltiness and sweetness in a single treat. Aside from cookies, they also offer breakfast, sandwiches, and ice cream<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The Peanut Butter Fully Loaded (you can imagine what it will taste like just from its name) and Ginger Molasses flavors are also worth a try. There are also plenty of vegan<\/a> and gluten-free options<\/a> to pick from.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Like Levain, the cookies here are thick, unevenly shaped, and packed with flavors from their other ingredients. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Gooey On The Inside<\/span><\/a> is where those cookies you might be seeing all over Instagram come from.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Aside from being perfectly baked and flavorful, the cookies have incredibly creative names. The \u201cCuppa Joe Exotic\u201d is a famous option, as well as the Bueno Bueno, a hazelnut and Kinder Bueno-flavored cookie that pleases everybody who orders it. And a shoutout to the Smore\u2019s flavored cookie bites for those who don\u2019t feel like ordering a big and chunky delicacy.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As if that weren\u2019t enough, there are molten cookie jars to take home, filled with soft-baked cookie dough!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Milk Bar<\/span><\/a> has units all over New York, from Soho and the Financial District to Midtown, Uptown, and Brooklyn. They are famous for their cakes, both truffle size and large ones. However, they also produce creative and unique cookies, with flavors like Peppermint Pretzel Snap and Fruity Marshmallow for the holiday season.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nLevain Bakery<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
