Freshly baked and addictive, the cookies at Milk & Cookies Bakery are baked on site daily, which has turned out to be a successful marketing technique, as the aroma pulls in any by-passers. The staff at Milk & Cookies are truly dedicated to the development and production of these cookies, which is apparent as soon as you bite into one of their many warm, gooey cookies.
Milk & Cookies Bakery offers a variety of cookies, but there are, of course, those certain few that need not be overlooked, especially on your first visit. Their traditional Chocolate Chip cookie, Peanut Butter Chocolate cookie, Chocolate Mint cookie, and S'mores cookie should be the first four ordered. Thick and chewy, these are not your ordinary homemade cookies that usually come out flat and hard.
Also available, Milk & Cookies Bakery makes brownies and bars, as well as homemade ice cream sandwiches. The magic bars are baked with graham crackers, dark chocolate, and toffee and have quite a reputation. Their ice creams sandwiches are a combination of their cookies and homemade ice cream. Ask yourself, what could be better? My recommendations are the Grasshopper sandwich - their fresh mint ice cream sandwiched between two of their chocolate mint cookies - and the Overload sandwich, a deadly rich combination of their peanut butter chocolate cookies and dark chocolate ice cream. Like I said, nothing better.
The coolest thing about the Milk & Cookies
Bakery probably isn't just their cookies, but the fact that you can customize your
own cookie dough. You have the option of either designing your own dozen (13 for
$23) or designing your own dough-to-go (a pint for $10.50). If you design your
dozen, the cookies are baked on site, which usually take about 20-30 minutes,
or you can just customize your own dough and take the pint home with you. The
first step in customizing your own cookie dough, is choosing the base, options
include peanut butter, chocolate, vanilla, oatmeal, or sugar. Next is the
mix-ins; choose from 27 different types, which includes M&M's,
marshmallows, peanut butter cups, caramel bits, and lots more.
Milk & Cookies Bakery has package ready-to-bake mixes ($6), which I suggest you take advantage of, as one bite of these cookies will undoubtedly leave you wanting more.
