"The cookies at Yaaas! Cookies might not be the biggest or the fanciest on this list. But the ability to choose your level of doneness gives us a type of customization that feels unparalleled. You can, of course, pick a room temperature one from the trays and trays of cookies sitting in glass cases in the Glenwood Park shop. Or head to the kiosks, select your warming level (hot and fragile is our go-to), then watch as aproned cookie bakers place dough balls onto a baking sheet and bake 'em to your preference. We love their strawberry Pop Tart and classic chocolate chip, which we always eat right away while they're warm. But even if we tried to wait, they'd never make it all the way home anyway.
