So… back track a little bit to when I was still in New York. The day after we went to Jacques Torres, we went to a place with a lot of shopping (..I don’t remember where this was… D.U.M.B.O I think it’s called). After a couple of rounds at the Marc Jacob stores, we went to Magnolia Bakery! We were so stuffed by this time that we didn’t get any cupcakes but I totally had to grab a cookie:

This is a chocolate chip cookie. It’s an interesting color.. I’m wondering if they used shortening? For only $0.75, this cookie is lightly crispy and smooth. Magnolia Bakery is known for their cupcakes, but their cookies are great too! It does have its own distinct taste and is smooth going down. Not enough choc chips, but one thing I noticed is that it didn’t leave me parched in the end.

They’re going to open up shop in LA too!!! can’t wait!!
