Kathys Cookies, 87 Barbara Dr, Milford, CT 06460, US

Any dessert connoisseur knows that not all cookies are created the same. But by all standards, with just one bite of Kathy's Famous Cookies, you'll realize why they're famous. Try her exclusive Mandel Bread, which is similar to biscotti but a little bit softer, and a little bit naughtier. Her biscotti come in unheard of combinations like Pistachio Chocolate Chip, Lemon and white chocolate, papaya and toasted coconut. More traditional, you say? Try the get-there-early-or-they'll-be-gone-from-the-shelf Toffee Chocolate Chip cookie, which is baked fresh daily and, like all of Kathy's cookies, made with all natural ingredients. Call, visit, or click on Kathy's Famous Cookies and see what a whole lot of love tastes like in a cookie.
