| - I was in Madison for a night and walked by Insomnia Cookies and wondered to myself, "is it popular because it's open till 3 AM or is it a really good cookie?" So I went in with no expecpectation to answer my query and the call of my sweet tooth!
You really can't go wrong with a warm cookie, but you can build on good to be great! I tried the delux peanut butter and the smore cookie. The smore cookie worked! The peanut butter cookie was not good unless you like a gooey warm slop that was, at one point, cookie shaped. Thankfully, I was able to get a different cookie, and the staff told me, that's what the PB cookie is like out of the oven. I'm thinking, "increasing the cook time by a minute would make a world of cookie structure difference." I ended up getting the mint chocolate chip which held together much better but was unappealingly sweet. The mint chip wasn't very good in combination with the chocolate cookie dough; thinking they need to reduce the sugar content of the dough and use better cocoa powerder to hold up against the strong mint flavor.
Conclusion: These are actually expensive cookies for the okay quality, but when you want a warm cookie, late at night, and you don't know how to bake. Insomnia Cookies all the way!
