Chicago’s Best Cookies

When it comes to sweets, cookies always have been and always will be a staple. While a box of Entenmann’s might be pretty darn good, you’ll never look back once you try these treats.

This may just be the perfect chocolate chip cookie, and even better, it’s about the size of your head. With a gooey, doughy interior, enormous chunks of melty chocolate, and a slightly crumbly outside, this cookie is impossible not to finish within seconds.

You can find Beatrix at 519 N Clark St.

You’ll be drooling before you even have this cookie in your hands. The combination of salty and sweet is absolutely to-die-for. This golden-brown delight is infused with smoky Gunthorp Farms bacon and cooked in bacon grease. Once you try one you’ll be hooked.

You can find Mindy’s Hot Chocolate at 1747 N Damen Ave.

This light, airy masterpiece is packed with coconut, oats, rice crispies, and chocolate chips. It’s crisp on the edges and soft on the inside, just like any great cookie should be. After one bite, you won’t want to eat any other cookie besides this one.

You can find Sweet Mandy B’s at 1208 W Webster Ave.
