Downtown Cookie Co.

From the creator, Dan Guerrera: "For years I tried to find cookies like my mother baked - soft and heavy cookies where you can really taste the flavors of butter, chocolate, brown sugar and other real ingredients in every bite. I sampled cookies everywhere - bakeries, gourmet food stores and even grocery stores throughout the city, but nothing tasted quite right. I started experimenting in my own little kitchen in the West Village, sharing my cookies with friends and family. They wanted more. And their friends wanted more. So in 2008, I started Downtown Cookie Co."
