9th Best Cookie
Assorted Comments: "Like Jacques Torres cookie -- layered chocolate. Sort of crispy on edges, softer in middle. Tastes ok." -Emily Young "Great crunchy outside to chewy inside ratio, chocolate throughout, so no cookie bites without chocolate -- very rich. A little dry on the outside." -Anneka Fagundes "Maybe a little too much chocolate, but great consistency, nice and thick center, better than the edge" -Jason Eppink "Grainy on the outside, deliciously melty / chewy inside" -Ilya Kushnirsky
Serious Eats #2: Bouchon Bakery, Time Warner Center, 10 Columbus Circle
We've come to expect perfection from Bouchon Bakery, and its chocolate chip cookie was pretty darn close. "Perfectly baked, with three layers: crunchy border, softer middle, still softer core." "Just a little bit salty, just a little bit sweet." "Beautiful to look at. Better to eat." But some found it a bit dry. As one taster put it, "This just isn't a holy grail cookie."
