For a sweet tooth, nothing is better than a warm cookie fresh out of the oven, whether you prefer classics like chocolate chip and sugar or something a bit more unique. Fortunately, there are plenty of bakeries around that put in the hard work to craft the best morsel so you don't have to.
Using reviews, awards and accolades as well as first-hand experience, LoveFood searched around the country that is "filled with a mouthwatering array of sweet creations" to find the "tastiest cookie" served in each state.
According to the site, the best cookie in all of Missouri can be found at The Russell Restaurant & Catering, with the chocolate chunk cookie earning the top spot. This Kansas City bakery's take on the classic treat is definitely worth a try based on how many customers keep coming back to sample the delicious dessert. The Russell is located at 3141 Main Street.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the tastiest cookies in Missouri:
"We promise you won't regret indulging in the exquisite chocolate chunk cookie from The Russell in Kansas City — a treat that's loved for its superb texture and incredible flavor. The secret lies in the fact that it's made with olive oil instead of butter, making it delectable rich and slightly nutty. Meanwhile, the dark chocolate chunks add a certain bitterness that balances out the sweetness of the dough."
