A Time Old Recipe
Cookies have been around in some form or another for as long as the concept of baking itself. Of course, the emblematic chocolate chip cookie is far more contemporary, owing its original recipe to Ruth Graves Wakefield from the Toll House Inn. Today, there’s some serious competition amongst bakers in the culinary world capital, so here are our picks for the best cookies of Paris. Our favorite is at the end!
Mini Cafe - Doughiest
A very doughy texture, balanced sweetness and an original selection of flavors makes Mini Cafe a lovely cookie shop. Its rustic interior decor makes for a lovely backdrop to enjoy a coffee and cookie combo in.
Their generous chocolate portions will satisfy the biggest cravings, and if you like a thick cookie, this makes for a great stop.
Delambre - Sweetest
Creamy and soft cookies filled to the brim with sugar and available in a wide range of flavors are on the roster at Delambre. Their inspiration comes from ‘New York style cookies’, and it shows in their newspaper packaging and the design of their bakery.
They also had some seasonal specialties available when we visited, so there are sure to be new cookies regularly!
Creme - Crumbliest
You’ll find crumbly cookies with varying levels of sweetness depending on the flavor (within a small selection proposed) at Creme Cookies.
With a slightly Mid-Century Modern vibe to the interior and a great location in the city, it makes for a charming place to satisfy one’s sweet tooth.
Ben’s Cookies - Chunkiest
Ben’s claims to use ‘CHUNKS not chips’, and they absolutely keep their word. They’re gooey on the inside, crispy on the outside cookies and they’re perfectly sweet.
They had the widest variety of flavors, and despite being one of the most generous, they were also the least expensive.
Our favorite: Puffy - Best of the Best
This cookie shop is our team’s pick for the best cookie in Paris by unanimous vote. Perfectly crispy, soft and gooey, and with recipes to die for. In every way imaginable (with no personal bias, of course) it is the perfect cookie.
If you get the occasion while in town, make a stop at Puffy’s for a devilishly sweet treat.
Last Crumbs
While it isn’t a French classic, cookies transcend tradition and should be enjoyed wherever they can. Thank you for reading to the very end of this article, we hope that it’ll help in your quest for the cookie of your dreams in Paris.
