Some of my coworkers have bought cookies from this chain and sang praises about them. And it just so happens there was one in my area.

When I arrived, I could instantly smell freshly baked cookies. To me, that’s one of the best smells in the world. Granted, the inside area was very small for customers; only enough room to organize a line to the register and two spaces to place orders via touchscreen displays.

The touchscreen displays were very convenient and allowed me to easily browse their wares. I was surprised (and somewhat disappointed) that only six types of cookies were available. It wasn’t until I did a little digging that this business would rotate flavors each week and offer special kinds during certain seasons/holidays/etc.

The cashier was friendly and easily answered all my questions. I’m thankful she confirmed how the carrot cake cost about a dollar more than the other cookies.

The cookies I chose were Double Fudge Brownie, Lemon Crinkle, and Strawberry Pretzel Pie. The size for each cookie was considerable but also had a price to match; over $4 per cookie. Definitely a treat to be enjoyed sparingly.

The Double Fudge Brownie cookie was deemed excellent by my dad.

As for my mom, who wanted the Lemon Crinkle, she thought it was okay, believing it could have used more lemon zest to improve the flavor. And after sampling it, I’d have to agree; the Crinkle cookie seemed to need more lemon and probably could have done with a slightly fancier appearance like some icing/glaze.

When I dig into the Strawberry Pretzel Pie, I was surprised by how thick the cookies were. The people who made these did not do things by halves. And the flavor was pretty tasty. The pretzels added a nice crunch with the strawberry sauce being tangy and sweet, the cream topping was smooth and, well, creamy.

I’m not sure how often I’ll return here, but the other options in rotation have earned my interest. The prices are high, but when they do cookies right, they’re done right.
