If you live in Utah and you love cookies, you’ve probably made it downtown SLC to a place called Ruby Snap Cookies.
This place is a sweet tooth’s dream place. They have several dozen of the most amazing, unusual and best cookies you’ve ever had. There is rarely a time we go downtown without making a stop at Ruby Snaps.
The best apart about this place is the employees are so sweet and let you sample as many cookies as you’d like. Yep, you heard me, as many as you’d like! You get to just sit there and enjoy several flavors before you choose the ones you plan to bring home. Or, I mean, eat in the car on the way home. These cookies don’t last more than a few seconds in my presense. They are the best!!
One of my favorite cookies (besides the Lemonhead Sugar Cookie) is the double chocolate cookie. It’s a soft, chocolate cookie dough with plenty of deep chocolate chips. There isn’t anything fancy about it, but it is the perfect texture with lots of chocolate flavor. If you want to be extra fancy, you can even pipe on some cream cheese frosting to make these cookies an extra special treat. So, what’s your favorite Ruby Snap cookie?
