"A self-described people pleaser, Anthony Lucas started handing cookies out to friends when he was an accounting and engineering student at SF State. Baking at Valencia and 25th for more than a decade now, he’s the Mission’s go-to cookie monger. The favorite remains the cookies-and-cream cookie, which, yes, is a cookie mashed up within a cookie. The toffee chip and German chocolate come in close behind, and the cinnamon spice and chocolate-dipped shortbread star this time of year." - Becky Duffett
