Homemade Cookies

Craving homemade cookies? I mean, really fresh homemade delights, not just those bakery disks that have been sitting out in a glass case all day? Sure, you could slap together some flour and eggs on your own or, if you have more money than time ($24/dozen), you could try the Downtown Cookie Co.

Owner/founder/baker Dan Guerrera couldn’t find a New York City cookie that met his high standards, so he started making his own (six varieties), just as he was taught by his mother. Beware vegans and pencil-thin citizens: he uses honest to goodness ingredients, so there will be gluten, dairy, fat and nuts involved in these delicacies. And no preservatives, so you’ll be forced to eat these tender cookies within days of receiving them. Darn.

There is no storefront yet, so order online, and if you live in Manhattan, the cookies are messengered to you on the same day. If you’re outside the sacred island, FedEx will deliver to you. Happy winter!
