Cookie time! Today I almost skipped to Dorie and Josh Greenspan's Cookie Bar at Mizu salon. I took a longer lunch than usual and headed to Park Avenue and 59th to pick up some of the best cookies ever and to say hi to the fabulous baker-cook book author Dorie Greenspan and her lovely family. This time last year the Cookie Bar had its debut at Mizu Hair salon. It was a week-long pop-up experiment that did so well that it's back a second year and the business is about to become an online cookie store. This is both a delicious and a dangerous prospect. The cookies are so good that it's easy for me to imagine ordering them regularly and slowly morphing into a chocolate chunker. Speaking of which, the chunkers were the only cookies I didn't buy today because they sold out early, which is kind of great because it gives me an excuse to return and buy more cookies!
Here's what I got today - one of everything, which includes:
Sable: the classic French butter cookie
Sugar-topped vanilla sable - like the butter cookie, but with more vanilla
Coconut-Lime Sable - a transcendent butter cookie with the genius addition of lime zest that's rubbed into the sugar, plus toasted coconut. You want 50 of these cookies.
Espresso-chocolate sable - this cookie speaks for itself, it's like a sophisticated chocolate chip cookie. Way beyond Toll House
The chocolate - I saved this one to eat later but it's calling me
World Peace cookies - God bless Pierre Herme for teaching Dorie this cookie, it's got the best combination of chocolate and fleur de sel
chocolate chunkers - sold out, I have to go back
Strawberry-raspberry jammer - I'm saving this for breakfast with yogurt. It's really pretty
Pear-pineapple jammer - also saving for breakfast
Chewy, chunky blondies - this one is a new addition, a caramel blondie with coconut, pecans and Valrhona milk chocolate
Fortunately, I have really great co-workers with good appetites so I shared some of the goodies with them, next time I visit the cookie bar I'm keeping them for myself.
Klancy it was so great to see you at CookieBar -- of course, I love seeing you anywhere ...

This also sounds really good! I just made butter cookies with chocolate chip but they aren't quite festive enough.

Hi,
Indians celebrated the recent series victory. Srilankan cricket team won the series against India for 10 years 1998 to 2007 whereas Indian cricket team winning couple of days before was celebrated as though Indian cricket team won for 25 years against the Sri Lankan cricket team.

Thank you so much for sharing some samples! The cookies were a hit, even more delicious than the Girl Scout's version. And what a great idea, to spread the chocolate and invert, rather than dip the bars.

Sri Lanka and Ireland have gained a place each in the Reliance ICC ODI Championship table after 22 matches in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
