Best Cookies in Tempe Town Lake

"If you ask Super Chunk owner and pastry chef Country Velador which cookie is her favorite, she’ll say, “They’re all my babies.” And she’s not wrong. Her famous Mesquite Chocolate Chip is dense and gritty with a smoky sweetness thanks to the mesquite flour. Her Cowpuncher combines Mexican chocolate with cinnamon, cayenne, and candied jalapeño for a cookie with kick."

"A small pastry you can have at teatime or for dessert, the canelé ($2.50) wraps a soft custard-like interior in a thick caramelized crust."

"Scoop and Joy in Scottsdale is best known for creating adorable little faces out of candy, cookies, and pretzels on the top of your ice cream (just say yes when they ask if you’d like a surprise!) They serve Lappert’s ice cream from Hawaii plus boba tea, Dole whip, coffee and homemade baked goods; you can also buy pints. Churn — with locations in Gilbert and Phoenix — is a classic ice cream shop with retro vibes."

"I love their cute ice cream scoops and I love Lappert's ice cream. If you're nearby, you have to stop here!"

"Dirty Dough is the perfect spot for when you’re craving a late-night dessert!. Even as a crunchy cookie fan, I was easily swooned by the warm, thick cake cookies. You easily get your money’s worth, considering the density of the cookie!"

"Dirty Dough is where you will find a delicious variety of cake cookies. Super thick, and made with quality ingredients. They have so many chocolate chips that you won’t have to decide which will be the “best bite."

"The Shemer Art Center & Museum used to be a private residence overlooking Camelback Mountain, but now the four-acre property with beautiful gardens and different galleries is open to the public. The art center offers many different workshops and classes to try things like pottery, printmaking, fused glass, photography, and more. The outdoor sculpture garden offers beautiful views of the surrounding area with some incredible pieces of art that are available to purchase or just enjoy."

"The Scottsdale-based breakfast, brunch, and lunch eatery has opened its sixth and seventh locations: one in downtown Chandler at Overstreet and one northeast Scottsdale in the Ancala Village shopping area. Over Easy offers classic breakfast items (chicken-fried steak) and in-house creations like the Golden Waffle Dogs — corndog-looking sausage links dipped in vanilla waffle batter. They serve morning cocktails as well."

"The décor at this retro breakfast restaurant is inspired by the fifties. However, their creative menu is inspired by a number of different flavors, as can be seen with their “Basil Melt” or even their jalapeño cheddar biscuits smothered in gravy. View this post on Instagram"

"This is the place to go to for food that brings maximum comfort. Chef Aaron May, originally from Chicago, created Over Easy to bring Midwest diner-style hearty meals to the Valley. There arealso light options like egg white omelets, but the portions are still plentiful."
