As a special treat for the girls over the holidays we stopped at Hilary's Cookies, 4917 N. Lincoln, to sample some of the options available at this small store front. The interior is very spare with just a counter with cookie jars full of different types of cookies and a couple of tables. The cookies are available in two sizes. The large size is so substantial that even my cookie addict daughters were unable to finish it in a single sitting. The smaller ones are more like bite size. When we stopped in there were approximately five or six different types of cookies available. We tried three - chocolate chip, pumpkin, and peanut butter chocolate chip. The girls absolutely loved them. The cookies are super soft (and vegan if that is important to you) and my girls thought they tasted more like cookie dough, which I think is about the best compliment a cookie can receive. The store also sells all types of coffee/tea/hot chocolate/espresso type drinks.
Hilary's Cookies is open Tuesday through Sunday and hours vary depending on the day. Check their Facebook page for exact hours. Parking is not super easy right in front of the store but there is plenty of parking available a couple blocks away if you don't mind walking. The Western stop on the Brown Line is also quite close. If getting to Hilary's is not that convenient, the cookies are also sold at Whole Foods stores within the City.
