There's no shortage of amazing cookies in New York City, but this nutty chocolate chip version from maman bakery and cafe co-owner Elisa Marshall gets A LOT of love. For starters, Grub Street dubbed it "NYC's Most Impressive New Chocolate-Chip Cookie" in 2014, and a few years later, Oprah designated it one of her "Favorite Things." One bite, and it's easy to see why! 

"This is the cookie that put maman on the culinary map! We've shipped thousands across the country for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and—our favorite—"just because I love you" gifts. Gooey on the inside, crisp on the outside, salty, crunchy, and sweet, these cookies even earned a spot on Oprah's Favorite Things list in 2017. The dough keeps in the refrigerator for seven days or in the freezer for three months, so you can bake cookies whenever a craving strikes." —Elisa
