Since this was my first visit to Ben's Cookies, I chose what I felt was the most unique flavor (at least, it's a combination I'd never tried): Chocolate Chip and Ginger. I'm a big fan of ginger-accented teas, and figured I couldn't go wrong with a class cookie given a mature twist!
These guys are worth their weight in pounds. I could *just* hold one comfortably in my hand. Thick, bigger than my palm, and perfect for sharing, these cookies arrive warm, gooey, and melt-in-your-mouth soft with the perfect firmness of outer crust.
The chocolate tasted rich and dark with glistening smears of melting cocoa on the toasted-brown shell. The ginger, though, stole the show, giving a marvelous snap and sizzle of mild heat wave that danced over the tongue in a playful tango with the chocolate. I can't believe I've gone through life never having tried this combination before!
Don't pass by Ben's Cookies, wherever you happen to find them... but few locations carry the atmosphere and charm of the Oxford Covered Market. Conveniently located next to many tourist spots, it's a must-stop dessert shop. Highly recommended!
The cookies were very good and lived up to the hype. It is fairly expensive for cookies.
Service was good and most of the flavours were available.
The double choc as well as the choc and nuts were very good!
We arrived around 4pm and most of the flavours were sold out.
Now coming at 11 to get a fresh batch I'm surprised that they don't sell warm ones anymore, the chocolate never settles properly and the thing just disintegrates in your hand. Not sure if I just have an overly positive memory or if the recipe changed for the worse.
