Cookies (& milk) report: snickerdoodle and chocolates

Last week, my mom called from Atlanta and asked me if wanted any Girl Scouts cookies since she has some extra boxes. I politely declined, though she did give me the inspiration for this week's column: COOKIES!

I love cookies, so this week I stopped by Milk & Cookies in Greenwich Village. The sweet smell of freshly baked cookies wafted over me as soon as I walked in the cute little bakery. I immediately ordered a trio of cookies which are three for $4.75. You can get a dozen for $18.

I got a snickerdoodle, a double chocolate and toffee and a chocolate mint cookie. All of the cookies were delicious. The snickerdoodle cookie is tasty with a extra kick of nutmeg. The double chocolate and toffee cookie is like a Anglophile's take on the classic chocolate chip cookie. Finally, the chocolate mint cookie is rich with a perfect mix of chocolate and mint. It was definite major upgrade on the"Thin Mint", but don't tell the Girl Scouts -- or my mom.
