It can be tough, deciding which chocolate chip cookie is best. In fact, most of us have an excellent recipe up our sleeve for our favorite cookie. However, no matter how many cookie recipes you break out of the old recipe box, this Alaska bakery will blow anything you can come up with out of the water! With five star averages on Facebook and TripAdvisor, and a glowing review in Bon Appetit magazine, we think we have found the best chocolate chip cookie you will ever have!

They started their first Alaska bakery, now their flagship store, steps away from downtown Anchorage. An unassuming building in what was initially an unimpressive neighborhood, they chose their location in hopes of helping to improve the area.

It more than worked! Within walking distance of so much activity in downtown, the bakery soon blew up with customers, especially as word of mouth spread of their delicious wares! They continued their pattern of opening bakeries in neighborhood settings, and the next one opened in Airport Heights a couple of years later.

If you're looking for your weekly (or daily) bread purchase, look no further! While your scarfing down your delicious cookie, you'll have plenty of time to peruse their bread offerings.

Besides some traditional loaves that you can find every day, there's always some spectacular specials up on the board, as well. And each loaf of bread looks as delightful as it tastes. This gorgeous bread is their infamous Alaskan Sourdough. Could you really call yourself an Alaskan without trying this beauty?

If you're thinking about how hard it will be to share these chocolate chip cookies you're enjoying, you can always bring home another tasty item from their pastry case!

Their cupcake and other sweet options are just as mouthwatering. Even a picky eater will adore any of the amazing dessert dishes you bring home for them!

Their scones are incredibly popular, and you will find both traditional and new and interesting flavors.

They offer sweet options, like raspberry lemon zest, or a special flavor like apple bourbon pecan. Or you could try one of their savory options: there's a regular ham cheddar chive that lives on the menu, and they've even been known to put out a fried chicken scone! They also have an incredible muffin selection as well, so don't hesitate to check out those options, too!

If, for some crazy reason, you're feeling a little peckish and not up for a hardy baked good, have no fear! They have an incredible selection of alternative options for someone looking for a lighter meal. They always have a salad and soup of the day!

They also offer gluten free baked goods, vegan options, and dairy-free. This bakery wants to make sure that everyone with dietary restrictions can enjoy the goodness of their baked products. There's even an ingredient list at the shop so you can double check.
