Milk Jar Cookies, 17237 Ventura Blvd, Ste C, Encino, CA 91316
Milk Jar Cookies started in 2013. The cookies are baked in small batches throughout the day for freshness. They have lots of cookies to choose from, including gluten-free ones. Some flavors are always available. The best sellers are chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and birthday cake. The cookie flavor of the month was peach cobbler. Cookies are $4 each. Other flavors included oatmeal raisin, salted butterscotch, white chocolate raspberry, etc.
They also have coffee, milk, Bloomfield ice cream, edible cookie dough (for snacking), take and bake cookie dough, dog treats, and very cute merchandise (tumblers, stickers, tote bags, cookie necklaces, keychains, etc.).
Their cookies are perfectly round and thicker than usual. They seem a bit underbaked to me but that seems to be the popular cookie style nowadays.
Chocolate chip: My least favorite of the cookies I tried. Pale color, didn’t have the richness I was looking for. The interior was soft and underbaked. The cookie was too soft but it did have lots of semi-sweet chocolate chips. There was little textural contrast though the edges were slightly crunchy.
Mint chip: Chocolate cookie with chopped Andes Mints. This was the best cookie. Love Andes Mints and the flavor of Andes was infused throughout the chocolate cookie.
Snickerdoodle: The softness and underbaked quality of their thick cookie worked better with the snickerdoodle cookie. Lots of cinnamon, soft, with slightly crisp edges. Pretty good though I’ve certainly had better.
The shop is cute, clean, and cheerful with a blue and white striped awning, pink tables and chairs, and plenty of seating. It's in the same shopping center as Menchie's and there's plenty of parking in the lot.
Cookies freeze well. They also deliver and ship cookies. And there’s a reward program.

Eddie to his Tiktok following: Hey guys, it’s currently eight AM on a Saturday and we just got back from the grocery store because Stevie here needs to make a pie for our neighbor and sworn enemy, Diane.
Steve: You don’t understand because you didn’t grow up in an upper middle class neighborhood, Eddie. This is warfare. She brought us cookies.
Eddie, sarcastically: Wow, thank god I grew up in a trailer park where I never got hate-crimed like this.
Steve: She’s saying that we suck
Eddie: Or, and consider this, she was just being nice? Maybe she was making cookies and wanted to share.

So, I got bored and turned a DnD character I had in the backlogs of "in case my main dies use this sheet", into a Cookie run OC.
And I'm not gonna lie, I think he fits in nicely-
BIO BELOW CUT!
Some say he could rig a barter with the Devil himself and get away with it, others claim that he WAS the Devil himself...
And Gold Choco Cookie himself says that he’s just a handsome devil with knack in crafting magic items and had a refined taste for gold.
And yet rumors of the "Golden Smith" were often filled with wild and strange tales of a dealmaker with witch's blood molded into his very dough. The mad creator of destructive tools powerful enough to erase entire kingdoms from the history books in their own unique and TERRIBLE ways.
Shady sales of those very same, wonderfully terrible items that typically came with a hefty price that was not always in the gold he coveted.
And with a smarmy wit that was only matched by his insatiable greed, Gold Choco Cookie had been the poster boy of infamy all his life.
But, whilst those rumors weren't unfounded, you'd be surprised to find a rather quirky and passive little fellow. Instead of some large, intimidating demon given a doughy form... A hermit who's workshop seemed to never be in the same place twice.
Sure, he was unnerving with his almost permanent grin and limitless golden limbs that were kept hidden under his cloak. But, he has never seemed interested in partaking in violence personally... more just profiting off of it.
Levain Bakery, 227 N Larchmont Blvd, Los Angeles (Larchmont), CA 90004
Levain was founded by two friends who sought to create the world’s best chocolate chip cookie. They started in NYC and have gradually expanded, recently opening their first location West of Chicago in LA’s Larchmont Village. Yay!
We visited the original location in NYC a few years ago. Like the NYC bakery, you can smell the freshly baked cookies before entering the shop. They sell a few types of giant, thick cookies (they’re 6 oz each), loaves of bread, brioche, loaf cake slices, scones, blueberry muffins, sticky buns, etc. There isn’t much variety to choose from (e.g., for scones, they only had one kind). Most people are there for the cookies. They also have a full espresso bar and serve LA’s Canyon Coffee.
Two chip chocolate chip cookie ($5): Served warm, the thick cookie has a crispy edges. It’s dense and chock full of small, melted chocolate chips. The texture is different from other cookies. I would argue that it’s much more like a scone than it is a cookie. The texture is crumbly like a moist scone. I like scones, so that’s not a bad thing. One cookie is very filling. Love how you can taste the dark chocolate and there's a crazy amount of chocolate chips.
The shop was cute – bright, with an open kitchen, some merch for sale. There was no place to sit inside but there was a bench outside. I was surprised by the large number of flies inside. Online ordering is available.
Cookies freeze well or you can keep them in an air-tight container for a week. I like them better the next day.
