It’s time to get your dessert on. There’s no better day to eat dessert before dinner than today, National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. (We’re all looking for an excuse to eat sweets on a Tuesday, right?) Grocery store-brand cookies are not an option on this particular day, so we went on a cookie crawl to find the best chocolate chip cookies around North Texas. Following is a list of local favorite hand-made, soft center, crispy edges, gooey, gigantic, and delicious cookies in the city. There’s even a free cookie deal at Tiff’s Treats.
Surely one bite (or 17) won’t hurt.
Kookie Haven
337 W. Jefferson Blvd. (Oak Cliff)If you’re anything like Ms. Kookie, founder of Kookie Haven, you like your cookies with lots of morsels, moist and full of mouth-watering deliciousness. This Oak Cliff gem is known for its array of dessert options. These are the kind of cookies you’ll want to run and tell your friends about, so be sure to get a dozen. To share or not to share?
Crumbl Cookies
6186 Retail Road, Ste. 110 (Lake Highlands)We couldn’t write about National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day without including this now common household name, Crumbl Cookie. The iconic pink box holds what they like to call “world’s best chocolate chip cookie.” There may be a line when you go, but there’s no doubt the ginormous hand-sized cookie is worth the wait.
Cookie Society
9320 Dallas Pkwy., #160 (Frisco)Cookie Society, featured in Oprah’s Favorite Things 2020, lives up its national recognition and hype.

The cookies are topped with flakes of sea salt, giving it the perfect touch to finish off this ultimate gourmet cookie.
JD Chippery
6601 Hillcrest Ave., (Snider Plaza)A local favorite, JD Chippery has served its legendary chocolate chips cookies to customers since 1983. The family-owned business offers an assortment of scratch-made cookies and muffins. Each item is baked in small batches throughout the day to guarantee each treat is fresh. Go for the milk chocolate cookie if you like desserts on the sweeter side.

The Cookie Rack
4333 Lovers Lane (Park Cities)What’s better than an oven-baked cookie? Some will say a cookie in its raw form. We couldn’t resist the urge to try this cookie dough cookie from The Cookie Rack. The rich cookie base is topped with cookie dough buttercream, chocolate ganache and mini chocolate chips – seriously all the good stuff. A beautiful cookie but also the sweetest, so don’t forget a tall glass of milk! Cookie dough lovers, this one’s for you.
Kessler Baking Studio
1129 N. Beckley Ave. (Oak Cliff) You may remember Kessler Baking Studio as the 2018 Best Bakery and its nod from the James Beard Foundation (semifinalist for outstanding baker). Clyde Greenhouse, also known as the Bow Tie Baker, owns the adorable boutique shop and is known for cooking some of the most scrumptious desserts. Scratch-made cookies are one of the many sweet treats here. Don’t be surprised if you go for a cookie and end up with a brownie, blondie or both — or those hot chocolate biscottis that are the work of some mysterious art.
Mary’s Mountain Cookies
3311-2 Preston Road (Frisco)Colorado-based but locally owned in Frisco, Mary’s Mountain Cookies brings a level of comfort. The chocolate chip cookie tasted familiar — similar to Grandma’s chocolate chip cookies baked for Santa Christmas Eve but twice as large. The classic, traditional chocolate chip cookie taste never fails.
