THE GREAT COOKIE QUEST :: two little red hens ::

one of the original cookies on my sister's friend's list of cookies was from two little red hens bakery, a bakery on the upper east side that i'd never heard of (it's kind of in a random spot too). but in the name of science we went out there last week to see what it was all about.

here is what i like to do when i go on these excursions:
first i take lots of photos like an obnoxious person.
then i ask the person behind the counter, "what is the BEST THING you sell here?"
and then i buy it, as well as whatever else looks good.
and then i say, "oh yes, and a chocolate chip cookie, too, please."

because i mean if i'm going to go there i am going to GO THERE.

the two little red hens cookie isn't all that great to look at. it looks like the cookies my mom used to make us (no offense, ma). the flavor was great, but not great enough to make up for the rest of it. it was my least favorite cookie. but the shop girls were really nice and they didn't mind my sugar-brained child shouting randomly during our stay, and that earns points with me!
