Happy National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day! To celebrate, we wanted to highlight our absolute favorite cookies: Milk Jar Cookies. We discovered Milk Jar shortly after they opened and have been hooked ever since. These cookies are, without a doubt, some of the best we’ve tasted—large and pillowy on the outside, chewy and perfectly textured inside. They’re our go-to treat to share with friends and to give as a thank-you gift; honestly, we’ll take any excuse to pick up a dozen.
The shop itself is charmingly styled with vintage dishes, glass milk bottles, and paper straws. Their curated selection of celebratory cards and party supplies makes it easy to plan a small celebration—it’s a one-stop cookie-and-party shop that feels warm and joyful.
Now for the important part: the flavors. We tend to be purists, so the classic chocolate chip is a favorite—there’s even a gluten-free option. We’re also big fans of the chocolate peanut butter cookie: a chocolate exterior with peanut butter tucked inside is hard to resist. Other tempting options include Chocolate Pecan Caramel, Rocky Road, Banana Split, and Oatmeal Raisin. Each cookie feels thoughtfully made and satisfying.
A few additional details: Milk Jar uses local ingredients, including locally sourced ice cream, and avoids preservatives. They offer delivery and nationwide shipping across the contiguous United States, so you can enjoy their cookies even if you’re not in Los Angeles.
