The top five cookies in Fort Worth

Torchys Tacos little nookies make the list of top five cookies in Fort Worth.
Torchy’s Tacos’ “little nookies” make the list of top five cookies in Fort Worth.

For sugar lovers and cookie fanatics alike, here is the ultimate guide to Fort Worth’s yummiest and most memorable cookies:

Zoes CookiesZoe’s Kitchen:

Who knew a Mediterranean restaurant could pull off a delectable chocolate chunk cookie? Baked to perfection, the large cookie has dark chocolate and milk chocolate chunks with tasty brown sugar infused in the dough. They are so good that the chef said they have to bake them twice a day to meet the demand. But be careful before that first bite; these scrumptious treats are a whopping 600 calories each. Maybe they’re best to share with a friend…

Torchy'sTorchy’s Tacos:

Torchy’s Tacos famous “little nookies” certainly live up to the restaurant’s motto, “damn good.” These deep fried chocolate chip cookies have customers begging for more. Their crunchy outside followed by undercooked chocolate indulgence assures their freshness. The three small fried dough balls are perfectly topped with powdered sugar and cherries. Nookies are certainly not what Grandma had in mind, but with one bite, there is no turning back.

JRae'sJ.Rae’s Bakery
A local celebrity, this little bakery located on Foch Street offers a wide range of personalized treats. Cupcakes, cheesecakes and intricately designed sugar cookies make loyal customers willing to pay the expensive price tag.
