Since the boy and I have moved in together in suburbia, let's just say the "adjustment phase" is still in the picture. Albeit, almost on its way out. So when a former client of mine told me about a new sweet haunt in my former neighbourhood Uptown, I yelped "SWeeeeet!" I could use a cookie at a time like this (but I'm not settling for Nestle Toll House). So, I drove down and parked in front of the "Great One Cookie Company." Firstly, let me start off by saying, from the outside it's the cutest, quaint little shop. Then you walk in and are greeted by an almost creamy interior with a blown up image of mouth-watering cookies on one wall, and heavy glass jars with delectable cookies in the showcase. I met with Pam, the owner of the store and we chatted for a bit. I asked her why cookies out of all things, and she said she just followed a dream (which is something that always instantly inspires me). So, then came the big decision of which cookie to get. I settled on chocolate chip, white chocolate macadamia with cranberries and oatmeal raisin. This is what I loved- Pam went to the back and got fresh cookies, not from the jars in the showcase. Somehow I made it home without ruining the surprise... I had decided this was going to be a slow, enjoyable process. The cookies are huge and heaping, so I broke all 3 into half and popped them in the micro for 6 seconds. These are the most decadent and amazing cookies, worthy enough to replace cake (on some occasions). This is certainly NOT your average cookie. Each cookie also had the slightest dash of salt mixed in with a great sweet cookie. All I can say is thank God I don't live in Uptown anymore, cause I would be in trouble.
Looks delicious! and the store is so cute!
