Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie
$6.33
A massive, six-ounce cookie with a crispy exterior and a molten, gooey center.
Tip: These are best when they're still warm from the oven. If they're cold, pop them in a microwave for 15 seconds to recreate that legendary gooey center. One cookie is plenty for two people—it's very heavy.

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Chip Cookie
$6.33
Rich dark chocolate dough with sweet, creamy peanut butter chips.
Tip: This is the richest cookie on the menu. It pairs perfectly with a cold glass of milk. If you're a chocolate purist, this is the one to get.
