Looking for delicious, inexpensive cookies

[larsonya]

Hello everyone!

I am looking for a place in D.C. that sells fresh, inexpensive, and delicious cookies. I'm buying for a big crowd-- I would appreciate any leads!

Cheers,
Sonya

Depending on what your idea of inexpensive is, you could try Heidelberg bakery in Arlington - they have delicious European style cookies and you can get them by the pound. You can also pre-order a 2lb soft pretzel that is to die for - had a coworker that brought one in to the office that lasted about 10 minutes

costco has excellent homemade cookies- oatmeal raisin, chocolate chip, sugar cookies. price is right and quality is there.

If you are looking for fresh cheap cookies, there is only one answer. Costco. One is pentagon is metro accessible and the cookies I've had from their have been very good. Cannot beat the price.

Agree. They are CHEAP, BIG, good, majorly caloric and freshly baked.

I don't necessarily agree about Costco, although the rugelach (sp?) are pretty good. Other cookies are big, and sweet, but I find them lacking in any flavor but sweet. Same with the huge muffins. I'm interested in some of the ethnic bakeries, but I do like the Otterbein cookies mentioned earlier. The sugar cookies almost taste homemade.

Not cookies, but I think the mini-cinnamon rolls at Costco are surprisingly good.

On the same theme, some of the ethnic bakeries are very good and (relatively) inexpensive. Classic Bakery in Gaithersburg is nice ($10.50/lb., according to the website -- http://classicbakery.com/products/bak... ).

This link didn't work for me.

Curious. It does work when I click it.

It works for me now. Hmmmm.... Sorry!

Seconding Chez Hareg. Cheap and delicious - even the vegan cookies will knock your socks off. It's now a full-service cafe, so the awning reads "Yetenbi Restaurant" instead of "Chez Hareg." It's on 9th between T and U, across the street from Etete. Highly recommended!

While obviously not "fresh" there are a number of cookies at Trader Joe's that are quite good (and reasonably priced) - try the Ginger Cats

If you can find Otterbein's cookies from Baltimore, you'll be golden. Thin, crispy, delicious-especially the chocolate chip and lemon varieties. Check the Giant.

Ooh, thank you! I'll check them out!
