When it comes to desserts, cookies have a special place in our hearts for many reasons. It's the perfect bite for when you just want something sweet after a hearty meal. It can change your mood after a looong meeting or a fight with your partner. It's easier to store or carry around (unlike cake), and the joy of eating it lasts longer (unlike ice cream). And even when you come across one you don't particularly love or aren't impressed by, chances are, you won't throw it in the trash. Because, it's still a cookie, after all.
If you're equipped with the skills to make yourselves cookies at home, we salute you. Seriously, we envy that skill. But, if you're just like us at Cosmo HQ, you probably just want a list of cookies you know won't disappoint. Here, we rounded up 10 different cookie spots for your next craving.

ADB
