Everyone — and I mean everyone — loves a good cookie. Average ones are easy to find, sure, but with minimal effort, you can nibble on the best. Nutty, chocolaty, buttery and sweet, these Calgary businesses bake cookies of every magnificently satisfying description.
Crave’s multiple city outlets carry cookies baked from scratch. Need a lot? Call ahead, and they’ll make them to order. Try the chocolate or ginger sandwich cookies filled with the shop’s famous buttercream.
Charcut is not a bakery but it does serve delicious chocolate chip cookies. The Lunch All at Once special includes warm, chocolate chip cookies tucked inside their own brown paper bag.
As the name suggests, Cookie Mama features a large selection of cookies. The shop also offers gluten-free, egg-free and dairy-free options so that everyone can enjoy a cookie together.
A café and bakery, the Lazy Loaf and Kettle is a Calgary institution. Through the years, it has grown but has stuck to traditional ingredients and old-fashioned recipes that keep customers coming back for more.
With 15 cookie varieties (plus seasonal specials), A Cookie Occasion has a cookie for, you guessed it, every occasion. Traditional cookies such as gingerbread and peanut butter rub elbows with custom creations like the triple sin, a cookie bulging with dark, milk and white Callebaut chocolate chunks.
