The Treat To Eat

I first encountered these chocolate chip cookies on a flight to Toronto. I mindlessly took a bite and thought, “My god, these are obscenely delicious.” Obscene in the sense that it was like biting into crumbly butter. One reason I asked the flight attendant for three more was because I was viewing these through the lens of a cookie and not what it actually is: shortbread studded with chocolate chips. I immediately took a photo of the packaging and searched for the product online. It’s from a Canadian company called Cookie It Up, but to my disappointment, it wasn’t available for purchase in the U.S. I pleaded with one very nice online retailer, No Nuts About Us, to ship 40 shortbread chocolate chip cookies to Chicago. Maybe you’ll have some luck, too, because even at $1 a cookie, it was completely worth the expense. [Kevin Pang]

"I’m not sure about you, but I’m a huge fan of cookies. Except, not those store bought cardboard-tasting cookies. Those aren’t welcome in my house at all. I like homemade cookies. Except, there is one problem. I can’t bake."

Gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookie Review

Posted: May 24, 2014
“These are, hands down, the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever tried. Gluten-free or otherwise. They are like little, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread drops filled with chocolate chips. I am embarrassed to admit that I ate the entire box and I am not even the gluten-free one in the house!”
