“I’ll just have one bite.” 

We all know these famous last words, which seem all-too-familiar when it comes to the classic chocolate chip cookie. This sweet treat even has a day dedicated to it (which is this Sunday, by the way).

  5. Harbor Springs--Tom’s Mom’s Cookies

    • If we could personally thank Tom’s Mom, we would. This charming shop has been baking award-winning cookies using the same recipe since its opening in 1985. They take the classic chocolate chip to the next level, specializing in a hefty 3-ounce chocolate chunk cookie that will satisfy even the pickiest cookie lover.

  6. Charlotte, St. Louis, Palm Beach--Bricktops

  • With locations in a number of our markets, this one is a no-brainer. The skillet cookie from Bricktops is the everyone-grab-a-spoon and dig-in dessert that dreams are made of. A giant, gooey chocolate chip cookie topped with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream and chocolate fudge and caramel drizzle? Do they take walk-ins?
