Nookie cookie is what I am calling this little expressed coffee shop inside the casino.
I was waiting for our number to be called at Hash House a Go Go when I decided to pick up a cookie.
The line moved quick and I quickly chose the peanut butter cookie but once I saw that it was two cookies for $4, I thought, "another cookie can't hurt nobody" so I chose the chocolate chip cookie as well.
I should have waited until after breakfast....but we're in Vegas...who pays attention to proper eating habits?! So I ate the peanut butter cookie and OMG. This is the cookie that I've been wanting to bake at home but can't find that perfect recipe. It has a rich peanut butter taste without the flavor of butter or vanilla behind it. The outer edge was perfectly crunchy and the center was dead on moist....almost raw. It was perfect!! I wanted to hoard the entire cookie but played nice and shared it. I couldn't stop there. If the peanut butter cookie was that good...I couldn't imagine what the chocolate chip was going to be like. One bite into that cookie, I quickly realized that it was amazing. There were chocolate chips in every bite and just perfectly moist and soft in the center with a great crunch on the outer edge. Milk would have been the perfect friend with those cookies!!
I will definitely return to Nook and will try their oatmeal cookie. Mom nom nom....
