AMAZING
1st DARK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP
Levain Bakery – West Loop, Chicago, Chicago
The iconic Levain firm/crisp exterior here houses a dark chocolate cookie with the decadent underbaked texture and is absolutely loaded with chocolate chips. Those melted globs further soften the texture and increase the sweetness and elegance of a truly exceptional cookie. A true masterpiece!
2nd TWO CHIP CHOCOLATE CHIP
Levain Bakery – West Loop, Chicago, Chicago
Sometimes, the internet tells the truth: these were absolutely divine. Such an interesting crispy exterior reminiscent of a biscuit, but gooey and slightly underbaked on the inside (just how I like it), and just tons of globby puddles of chocolate throughout. This… this is a damn great cookie.
3rd COOKIE DOUGH
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
An incredibly dense and just slightly underbaked brown sugar cookie topped with a cookie dough buttercream frosting, chunks of cookie dough, and chocolate chips. This is a sweet and tender cookie absolutely worth every crumb.
4th BROWNIE BATTER
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
What an ooey-gooey brownie cookie!!! Globs of fudgy chocolate in a massive brownie is absolutely my dream as a chocolate lover, and this hits every desire flawlessly!!!
5th CARAMEL PUMPKIN CAKE
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A beckoning of fall, this cake cookie is so tender and moist! The earthy spices and the sweet and savory caramel frosting blend with the pumpkin into an incredibly cozy sweet treat!
6th CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIE
Sobelmans on St. Paul, Milwaukee
A thin cookie with a firm exterior yet a soft chew with tons of chocolate chunks to discover with each bite! The dough had a hint of salt to it that really brought out the sugary flavors even more. A delightful little cookie!
7th DIRT CAKE
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
An incredibly fudgy cookie with a fudge frosting, this is an absolutely delightful treat! No words, only bites!
REALLY GOOD
8th MOLTEN LAVA
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A very doughy and nearly underbaked dark chocolate cookie with a hot fudge center was a delightful treat with every gooey bite (especially the center-most one!!!) that was surprisingly not messy at all! My only wish would be for more fudge in the middle, as it seemed rather lacking!
9th SEMI-SWEET CHOCOLATE CHUNK
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A decadently sweet and doughy cookie that has a semi-sweet chocolate that really enriches this flavor profile, especially with the touch of salt!
10th DOUBLE FUDGE BROWNIE COOKIE
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A fudgy interior texture reminiscent of a just-underbaked brownie, this is flavorful, sweet, and delicious. Simple cookie with nothing on the inside and a fudge frosting with some crumbled brownie bits on top, this is a very good cookie.
11th BISCOFF COOKIES
Lotus Bakeries US LLC, Mebane
Cinnamon flavored biscuit shortbreads that are very homey and could pair with just about any beverage choice either on a plane or at home! These are a real delight!
12th MILK CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A gooey cookie with the sensation of a slight underbake, this is a decadent cookie that delivers on the hype. Incredibly sweet, indescribably filling, and an even bigger cookie!
PRETTY GOOD
13th COOKIE DOUGH BITS
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A frozen treat with the iconic and forbidden cookie dough flavor. Very sweet, with small chunks of chocolate and the chewy and softly gritty texture of cookie dough. Good, but not overwhelmingly special.
14th CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE
Stone Creek Coffee - Factory Café, Milwaukee
This is a nice and soft cookie with a balance of sweet, chocolate, and savory hints of vanilla.
15th BLUEBERRY MUFFIN
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A tender blueberry cookie topped with a thin buttery glaze and topped with a blueberry streusel, this was a refreshing yet sweet cookie that is rather unique in cookie fare.
JUST OK
16th DARK CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER CHIP
Levain Bakery – West Loop, Chicago, Chicago
The hallmark Levain textural difference with a firm exterior giving way to a softer and gooey interior is still true here. However, it seems the chocolate chips in other cookies are essential to making them super soft on the inside, as these are relatively firm on the inside. The peanut butter chips are rather nutty, but aren’t “peanut buttery” and did not do much here. A bit of a disappointment.
17th PEANUT BUTTER CRISP
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
This was a fine peanut butter cookie with crunchy obstacles (pieces of Butterfinger candy bar) that definitely just felt slapped on rather than something that was there to elevate the cookie.
18th PEANUT BUTTER W/ REESE’S PIECES
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
A pretty bland peanut butter cookie with just the slightest hint of peanut butter. Reese’s pieces were big obstacles but the only worthwhile part of this.
NOT FOR ME
19th VANILLA SUGAR (HALLOWEEN)
Crumbl - Grafton, Grafton
This is not a good cookie. Really dry and with crunchy sprinkles in the middle, this is just not a fun eating experience at all. Bland, crunchy, and dry? No thanks.
