If you're on the hunt for cookies that hit the spot without the overwhelming thickness or sweetness of big-chain options, look no further than Thin Cookies in Hicksville, NY. Tucked away on Jerusalem Avenue, this spot specializes in thin, soft, and chewy cookies that feel like a fresh twist on the classics. I stopped by late on a Sunday night—around closing time—and was blown away by how fresh everything still was. No stale edges or dried-out centers; these cookies tasted like they'd just come out of the oven.
In my personal opinion, Thin Cookies blows away the competition from national brands like Insomnia Cookies and Crumbl. Those places often feel overhyped and overly indulgent, but here, the simplicity shines through with better balance in flavor and texture. My absolute favorite was the chocolate chip cookie—perfectly chewy with melty chocolate chunks and a buttery base that wasn't too sweet. I also sampled a couple of other flavors, but that classic one stole the show.
Highly recommended for anyone craving a quick, satisfying treat, especially if you're in the area after hours. I'll definitely be returning to try more of their rotating flavors—maybe the peanut butter or s'mores next time. If you're in Hicksville, do yourself a favor and swing by!
