What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Birdbath (which, I guess is City Bakery) and Amy's Bread.
In any case, I'm actually partial to oatmeal or else an "everything" cookie.
Oh, also Bread Alone at Union Sq Green market.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Say it with Flour in Midtown East. Amazing!
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Ah, I love that this debate never gets old.
Levain's walnut chocolate chip, followed closely by Momofuku's cornflake marshmallow chocolate chip, followed by Petrossian's ridiculously large and gooey walnut chocolate chip.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Two Little Red Hens has the best chocolate chunk cookie for only $1.60! I think Levain is way too "raw" inside.

Just look at this photo and tell me it's not the best looking chocolate chip cookie you've ever seen:

Don't get me wrong, Jacques Torres is delicious too, but in a high class chocolate way, because thin, buttery cookie is all about the shards of chocolate:

City Bakery is fairly similar to Jacques in that it's thin and loaded with gooey shards of chocolate. The only thing I didn't love about City is that it's so buttery, the cookie doesn't have that delicious, home-baked, reminds us of Mom's cookie flavor that Levain has. It's that characteristic that makes Levain the best.

CITY BAKERY! Why the hell would you go anywhere else??? Oh my god, I can taste it now . . . (for the record, their peanut butter cookie is like a gift from the peanut butter gods. Now if I could just finally wrangle the recipe from Maury Rubin, I'd be a much happier - and fatter! - girl.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
It's not even close -- CITY BAKERY. CITY BAKERY. CITY BAKERY. and the CITY BAKERY ginger cookie is the SECOND-BEST chocolate-chip cookie, even thought it's not chocolate chip. It's like Chuck Norris that way.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Oh and Chocolate Room was pretty damn good too if recollection serves me.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Baked, Petrossian's, Chocolate Bar, Jacques Torres
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
I'm going to echo most of you by saying Jacques Torres and Levain...so freaking good.
Also, Ruby et Violette is pretty awesome.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Jacques Torres, hands down!
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
My spontaneous side trip to Levain for a gooey, enormous, nut-filled chocolate chip cookie one afternoon was one of the best decisions of my life.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Just like Alan says when introducing Letterman: "From New York, the greatest city in the world. . ."
Are you sure the original was invented in Massachusetts?
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Milk Bar, City Bakery, Jacques, then Levain.
(But if it's Levain's ChocPB Chip, it trumps them all)
Somewhere in the back is Bouchon.
Echo the shout to Jack's, which has an outpost near the Seaport.
In a pinch, Pret ain't bad. Surprisingly.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
I'm a fan of Insomnia Cookies on 8th Street. Nothing fancy or special, just tasty.
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
i love so many of the cookies listed above.
since you are looking for suggestions for your taste test, i must add to the list and say that jack's stir brew coffee in the west village has some really really delicious (surprisingly delicious, as they are not a bakery at all!) chocolate chip cookies that they bake constantly throughout the day in small batches. make sure, though, that you get one that's been baked relatively close to when you come by! and at $1 a pop, they're a real bargain too!
What's Your Favorite Chocolate Chip Cookie?
Jacques Torres by a mile, but a vote for Bouchon
