New York City Bakeries and the Top Places to Find Sweets

New York City is home to an enormous amount of eateries.  Almost anything your tummy wants, it can find in the city.  Right now though, we're going to forget about the tummy and focus more on what your sweet tooth may want.    Here is your guide to some of the top places to satiate your sweet tooth.

MILK AND COOKIES BAKERY

Nestled on a quiet tree-lined street in Manhattan's West Village neighborhood is the lovely Milk and Cookies Bakery (19 Commerce Street at 7th Avenue South). Featuring a wide array of delectable goodies, husband and wife team Marc and Jennifer Limotte have created an oasis of dessert with everything from brownies to cookies to ice cream.
The shop offers a number of standard cookies for $1.00 a piece including typical favorites like chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, and sugar, while also blending in some of the unusual including chocolate mint, and oatmeal cranberry blueberry. Often times you can get your cookie fresh out of the oven and still piping hot, as I did with an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie one afternoon.

Fear not if you don't see exactly what you are looking for. At Milk and Cookies Bakery you can design your own dozen. First you start off with your base: peanut butter, sugar, vanilla, oatmeal, or chocolate. After choosing the base, you can move onto the mix-ins. There are many options, but some that caught my eye were pecans, strawberry, and Snickers. After placing your order, just wait about twenty minutes and your cookies will be finished. You can even call ahead and have them waiting if you already know what you want.

If you rather not eat your cookies at the bakery, purchase a five pound container of dough in any of the standard flavors. I was told this container can make about eighty one ounce cookies. This is a bargain at just under $20.00.
