The Best Cookies in New York City, From Famous Bakery Items to Restaurant-Menu Favorites | Condé Nast Traveler

"When the social media craze around this spot took over TikTok in Summer 2023, cookie addicts knew it was time to get their hands on one of these highly coveted cookies capped at 100 sold each day (though this number has seemed to increase over the months, as their popularity has too). This cookie has so many flavors layered throughout—ones you can literally see as you crack open the confection. On top you’ll find the perfect amount of flaky sea salt, and inside you’ll taste flavors of chocolate, hazelnut, and caramel, all hand-crafted quality. You can order the La Mercerie cookie (if they’re not sold out) as a post-meal dessert at the restaurant—or, if you’re anything like me, just get there when they open and snag some cookie takeout." - Emily Adler
