Roy & I maybe spend an inordinate amount of time talking about peanut butter cookies & other treats in the peanut butter family. We'd tried to go to City Bakery once before but they were closed when we got there. The disappointment was enormous.
Now that I've finally had some of these cookies, I'm not sure. It's been a week & I'm still not sure. I think I like them. They're really unlike any other peanut butter cookie I've ever had. My initial thought was "It turns to peanut butter in your mouth." At the moment, that's all I've got.
You grab one of the buttery lumps out of the bag, take too big of a bite & the peanut butter is overwhelming. It's like when you're eating it out of the jar & you put too much on the spoon. All you can do is breathe through your nose & enjoy it. If you like peanut butter, it's probably a good thing. If not, skip it.
One thing that will really add to the whole experience: a glass of cold milk. Do not get a can of black cherry soda from the deli across the street. The combination will make those cavities you need to get filled tingle with something like the opposite of delight.
If you stop by City Bakery when it's chilly out, Roy recommends the hot chocolate.
