There’s something about a fresh-baked cookie that’s almost magical. It can heal a playground boo-boo, erase a crummy day and turn a frown upside down in just one bite. If you’ve got a little Cookie Monster in your crew, they’ll flip for these nearby Seattle cookie shops that bake the best batches in town. Read on to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Treat Cookies
Stop into Seattle's newest—and certainly sweetest—shop for some ooey-gooey cookies you won't soon forget. Treat Cookies, founded by a mother-daughter duo, who gained a following at the Burien Farmers Market, just opened in April. Now they're selling scrumptious creations, like the Tessa (a sumac snickerdoodle cookie) and the Lisa (a lemon curd cookie) to the masses. They've got gluten-free and vegan options to choose from, and if you can't get enough, you can join their Cookie Club to have fresh baked goodness delivered straight to your door every month.

Hello Robin
A cookie all by itself is enough to make your taste buds flip, but when it’s paired with ice cream, the combo can’t be beat. Capitol Hill’s Hello Robin has been a favorite venue for Seattle cookie connoisseurs since 2013. This dessert destination features freshly-baked cookies with daily flavors like chocolate chip, birthday cake, Mackles'more (packed with Theo chocolate chunks), and Grandma’s orange snickerdoodle. For the more sophisticated palate, Hello Robin bakes up unique flavors like orange habanero chocolate chip and whole wheat fancy chocolate with sea salt. Savor a cookie all by itself or turn it into a custom ice cream sandwich cookie featuring Seattle’s favorite cool treat: Molly Moon’s ice cream. A pairing made in dessert heaven.
