"The buckeye-inspired offering at C. Krueger’s Finest in the Columbus suburb of Blacklick is a peanut butter cookie topped with hand-spread fudge icing. Founded by Cheryl Kruger, who previously established Cheryl’s Cookies in the early ’80s and sold it in 2005, C. Krueger’s was born from her desire to elevate the cookie experience to a new level of craftsmanship. The cookies are soft, made with natural ingredients, and feature a creamy peanut butter base topped with smooth fudge icing. Workers are specially trained in a hand-icing technique, applying the fudge in a swirl using a sandwich spreader-style spatula. Packaged individually for freshness – an approach that started pre-pandemic and became essential for shipping – the cookies come with a five-day freshness guarantee and are perfect for freezing." - Wendy Pramik
