Sunday Sweets: Tom’s Cookies

The chocolate chip cookie has got to be the most under-rated sweet out there.  It’s not that fancy but it’s delicious and it goes with everything.

This week we tried another great natural cookie.  Tom’s Cookies are made in San Francisco and you can order them online but I found this cute bucket of pre-cut cookie dough at my local Trader Joe’s. 

These cookies are very different from the Immaculate Baking ones from last week.  They have a small amount of oats in them which gives them a lot more substance and makes them a little chewier.  They have this awesome brown sugar and vanilla flavor that compliments the rich chocolate chips nicely.

Tom uses natural ingredients like fresh eggs and milk to make his cookie dough and he’s also a pretty charitable dude. 

Apparently President Clinton made these cookies famous when the Clintons liked them so much that they asked Tom to whip up a special Peanut Butter Banana cookie (um, YUM!) for his inaugural ball.  It’s amazing what an endorsement from a famous person can do for a business. 

Hey Mr. Prez, can you endorse my blog, please?
