Where are some of your favorite spots to get cookies in Des Moines? Just tried Iowa Cookie Co for the first team and I think they have jumped to the top of my list. Might be the best cookies I have had.

I haven’t had those, but cookies and dreams has been the best I’ve found. Puppy chow cookie warmed up in the microwave for 5-10 seconds is a sexy party in your mouth. For what it’s worth Crumbl is ok but doesn’t really trip my trigger.

I like the frosted chocolate chip cookies at Eileen's, there's also some really good cookies at Gateway Market. Nan's in Valley Junction has good frosted sugar cookies. I buy way too many cookies so I've tried a lot of places. Not DSM but MyCookieDealer in Insta has really good cookies. Fat and Weird Cookies has cookies that are VERY similar to Iowa Cookie Co.

Not in DSM, but Cookies Etc in Ames is the GOAT. I'll give a runner up to Crumbl. Though, they are small, flat cakes, more so than a cookie.

I've had Insomnia Cookies downtown, and they are terribly overrated. I'd sooner eat HyVee cookies than them. (HyVee cookies really aren't terrible)

The sugar cookies from Eileen's Cookies are awesome. They melt in your mouth.
