If you think a cookie is just a cookie, I would strongly suggest that you make a stop at Batch Bakehouse here in Madison and prove yourself wrong.The other day I checked out this new bakery and could not resist trying one of their chocolate chip cookies that were piled on a big platter. The crunch of the exterior followed by the soft goo of the interior was more than I had anticipated. A hint of salt and the chocolate was so creamy and in perfect proportion to the batter. Seriously, I think it is the best chocolate chip cookie I have ever eaten...and I have eaten my fair share, trust me. I must have talked about it for days until I had the chance to go back and satisfy my urge once again.
In addition to the cookies, Batch offers sinfully delicious, sugar dusted morning buns and of course the fresh baked bread. Started by the clever folks at Ian's pizza (of mac and cheese pizza fame) these folks have got a real winner on their hands. Open Wednesday thru Sunday on the hip Eastside, Batch has become a new staple in my shopping stops, as I am sure it soon will be for you too. If you are in town, or plan to visit, you must put this one on your list.
Where is your spot for the BEST cookie ever ?

There was a period in my life when I was totally crazy about cookies (grade school). But today, I have gotten over the craving and simply take cookies as they come, and without this same assessment that you just made. Or, I probably have not just found my best cookie yet. ;)
I'm a little biased, but I really like the ChocChip cookies at Barriques! Ha! Especially with red wine for dessert. Cheers!
I agree...Barriques are a close second. The chocolate peanut butter as well.
