Mrs. Fields

Even a die-​hard gourmand snob would have trouble resisting Mrs. Fields’ temptations. The Mrs. Robinson of the mall food court, she’s the belle of the ball, particularly that of South Hills Village, which has little to offer.
I wasn’t crazy about the somewhat dry and dull brownie I tried, but damn, if Lady Confection’s soft, chewy, chocolate-​riddle cookies aren’t enough to make a man adjust his tie, when you place some of that fabulous, fluffy, siren-​song buttercream in between two of them to make a…*gulp* sandwich, heart palpitations begin to happen.
Mrs. Fields is the sultry secret of suburbia, the sweat-​inducing supper-​club singer who brings the fellas in night after night after night, making their troubles dissipate for a little while before leaving them with guilt on their brains.

Yum! I love stopping here for a sweet treat when I’m at the South Hills Village Mall. By the name you can probably tell that they specialize in cookies, but there’s a few other items like brownies that they make as well. The best is when I get them out of the oven! Occasionally I do feel a little disappointed when the cookies are a little harder than I personally prefer, and near the end of the day you can tell some of the items in here have probably been sitting out a bit longer than one would like, but 90% of the time, the items I buy here are super fresh and super soft.
So back to the «they specialize in cookies» part: they really do offer a nice selection of cookie-​based desserts, from little chocolate chip cookies to giant icing-​filled cookie sandwiches. I love the variety in both options and sizes here, too: you can either get half a dozen smaller cookies or an entire mini cookie cake, just to name two possibilities. Whether that’s all to split or to share with someone is up to you — I’m certainly not judging either way!
One other note: the bigger treats may look absolutely amazing — and they are! — but the stuff here is (generally) well made and REALLY filling. It’s not uncommon for my stomach to mildly protest my indulgence when I get one of those icing-​filled cookie sandwiches. Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally worth it, but if you’re worried about portions, get a bag of smaller cookies and take some home.
Final say: check them out next time you’re around the mall!
