The Cookie Store

This sweet shop isn’t found in the food court of the Eastgate Mall with all of the other eateries. No, The Cookie Store and Auntie Anne’s Pretzels are positioned so shoppers don’t have trek all the way to the food court to grab a quick bite. The Cookies Store lives up to its name, selling fabulous little disks in just about every shape and flavor. Snickerdoodle, sugar, chocolate, macadamia nut, peanut butter, M&M, and more were available in jumbo and regular sizes.
I went with a gourmet Heath bar chunk cookie, which I thought was too expensive for its size ($ 1.19). However, once I bit into it I realized why they were charging a premium. Chewy cookie was complemented with the crunchy bits of toffee and milk chocolate. I savored every high-​calorie, high-​fat bite.
The Cookie Store also offers freshly squeezed lemonade, orangeade, and limeade. Next time I visit, I’ll try a juicy drink to wash down my gourmet cookie.
