? Chocolate Ginger Chew at Lovely ($1.25)
A small, spicy cookie that packs a punch of ginger. We like to pretend it helps our digestion–a good thing, considering we can down at least three at a time.

? Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough at County BBQ ($2)
Skip the oven and go straight to the source. Here you buy cookie dough by the spoonful. Licking is obligatory.

? Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie at Hot Chocolate ($1)

This cookie combines our two favorite things: bacon and chocolate. Does it get any better than that?
