The Best Chocolate Chip Cookies In Seattle, Ranked - Seattle - The Infatuation

"At this Ballard German- and Chinese-inspired coffee shop, Seattle’s best chocolate chip cookie is hiding in plain sight. It’s not the simplest—and yet, all of the elements work together flawlessly like a well-constructed Rube Goldberg machine. The edges are sandie-crisp while the middle is nougat-soft. Cardamom adds baking-spice warmth. Chocolate chunks ooze like thick Nutella. And salted licorice caramel creates a toffee-like brittle around the perimeter. We know that anise stuff can be polarizing, but there’s just enough to impart some herbal pizzazz without feeling like you swan-dove into a swimming pool of black Red Vines." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
