You know the feeling—some are too dry, some are too hard, and then there are those that just don’t hit right.

One spot that stood out is Pinnon's Meat Market. I first tried their cookies about a year and a half ago, and I had no idea I was missing out on a doughy heaven. These cookies are HUGE and soft with just the right amount of sweetness. Totally worth it. This is the face of my coworker ready to try their cookies for the first time!
