A Seaside Cookie Company

Who can resist a delicious cookie? Definitely not me!  

Like most cookies lovers, I do have my favorites like chocolate chip, lemon biscotti, or French madeleines.  During a recent road trip, we stopped at Cayucos, a charming seaside town in central California, to get some coffee from a local coffee shop.  Next door to the coffee shop was the Brown Butter Cookie Company and the wonderful sugary scents of freshly baked cookies drew me into the bakery. 

I have to admit that I have never been a fan of butter cookies, but a cheerful cookie clerk offered me a cookie sample and it was absolutely divine! I realized at that moment that this is how a butter cookie should taste.  The bakery makes butter cookies in an assortment of flavors that includes the original sea salt cookie, cinnamon, cocoa, cocoa mint, espresso, and pecan. I purchased a few boxes, of course, plus a sample bag to eat in the car.  

It's wonderful what you can discover on a road trip!
