Best Damn Cookies

If there's one positive thing to come out of the pandemic, it's Best Damn Cookies, which are expertly made treats sold at Essex Street Market and online by owner Dave Dreifus. The fact that Dreifus has worked in renowned restaurants like SingleThread and The French Laundry and has a Michelin street cred proves that these cookies are no joke. They suggest starting with The OG, a sophisticated variation on the traditional chocolate chip cookie that required Dreifus a whole two months of trial and error to perfect.

Monday through Thursday, orders for cookies are either shipped on the day they are received or the day following (depending on the time of day in which the order is processed). Orders received from Friday through Sunday are handled the very next Monday. This is due to the fact that many shipping facilities hold items over the weekend (leading to spoiled cookies).
