Elle's Belles Chocolate Chip Cookie
Reviewed by Eric Barnes ■■■■□ 4 / 5 "Next best thing to a Starky's cookie!"
It all started on a harmless trip to Naked Noodle yesterday. There was this basket sitting on the counter filled with cookies from Elle's Belles Bakery & Cafe. I haphazardly glanced at the cookies. An automatic impulse was instantly triggered in my brain, causing a swift, mechanical motion of my hand. I reached into the basket and, in seconds, found myself standing in front of the clerk, holding up a big chocolate chip cookie. There had been no resistance. I didn't even flinch when the clerk asked me to pay $2.50. Appearances are sometimes deceiving though. While the chocolate chip cookie was soft and delicious, it didn't quite have the home-baked taste I had been expecting. Perhaps I need to head on down to their cafe in the morning for a fresher tasting experience. In any case, it was a worth-while treat, even though it was a bit pricey. I miss Starky's cookies, but Elle's Belles is the next best thing.
