Enormous cookies with gooey interiors are the star at this New York import. Our fave flavors? Any of the indulgent dark chocolate varieties, like the holiday-season special studded with peppermint chips or the year-round peanut-butter-chip version. But come spring, we’re happy to (temporarily) ditch chocolate for the sweet-tart lemon special.
