A favourite when it comes to baked goods, nothing can rival a batch of gooey and dense cookies, freshly out of the oven. Toronto has several options when it comes to getting your cookie fix in quarantine -- from window or curbside pickup to delivery -- we have compiled a list of the best cookies for delivery and takeout in the city that is sure to satisfy your dessert hankerings.
Of course, there are classics like chocolate chip and white chocolate macadamia nut, but bakeries around the city have upped the ante when it comes to creating new flavours! From vibrant purple cookies dyed with ube to Earl Grey tea shortbread to cookies stuffed with almost any confectionary imaginable -- the options are endless!
What makes the perfect cookie still remains a contentious topic and up for debate. The subject has spurred thousands of blog posts, youtube videos and even baking show episodes. Is the perfect chocolate chip cookie thin and crunchy, soft and chewy, gooey and chocolaty, nuts or no nuts? Is the best shortbread cookie rolled or piped, crumbly or soft, melt in your mouth or crunchy with traces of granulated sugar? No matter the style of cookie you prefer, it is bound to be on this list. Keep reading for the best spots to grab a cookie (or a dozen) in the city.
