The best cookies in Toronto will leave you with sticky fingers, covered in crumbs, licking your lips and wanting more. From home-style cookies sure to remind you of being a kid to elegant, French-inspired treats that'll transport you to the City of Lights, Toronto's best cookies satisfy a range of cravings.
Though cookies are easy to come by wherever you may be, not all are created equal. Some are too dry, others lack balance and some are as bland as the ingredients used to make them. To be the best, a cookie must be crafted from quality ingredients. It has to be baked perfectly, be made from a winning recipe and eaten at its peak. Undeniably delicious, the cookies on this list are made by some of Toronto's top bakers and never disappoint.
Put on your comfy pants and head out with a friend, or two, to tackle this list of Toronto's best cookies. When you swoon after just one bite, you'll know you've found your fave.
