Went to Chocolate by Uzma In Pilsen and thought I’d get a chocolate chip cookie on the way out. This was easily the best cookie I have had in Chicago. Not too much, a little sweet, and a little salty. The chocolate she uses is amazing and really balances out the cookie. I would gatekeep but knowing that she’ll be moving to more online sales at the end of the year makes this worth trying before it’s too late.

Bold statement, but I am certainly interested.
Thank you!!!
They are really good. All of her chocolate creations are really. I stuff my family’s stockings with her stuff every Christmas and they’re always a hit.
Oh no, what do you mean she’s moving to more online sales??
She also sells ice cream sandwiches with these. 10/10.
Okay now I need to try. Thanks for the recommendation!
This place has been blowing my mind, thank you for sharing. Just suggested it in the brownie post too
Cannot wait to try 😍
To add to this, I can say the absolute worst cookie I’ve had in Chicago (when price is considered) was at the game room at the Chicago Athletic Association. Absolute trash and insanely overpriced.
Am I the only one who refuses to pay $4 for a single fucking cookie?
Better be huge for $4
thank you for posting this, I got a gift from Chocolate by Uzma years ago and have been meaning to go back ever since!
Also I think $4 is incredibly fair for a gourmet cookie at a small indie chocolatier/bakery. I paid $5 at Swadesi recently and probably would again
Ooh I’m going to go pick some up today! Thanks for posting 🍪
Where in belgium do they grow cocoa?

Burdicks Choc chip changed my life I will try this though thanks for sharing
Oh shit she’s going online at the end of the year? I definitely need to stop in while I can.
I still hype Crescent Bakery’s cookies; do a comparison!
Located in Bridgeport/Pilsen border, she definitely had some pretty good cookies, however I find that, because they’re not kept warm/fresh, the cookies aren’t nearly as good as they can be. My favorite cookies, even though they’re chains is still Insomnia, and Levain bc of this fact.
I have yet to meet someone who beats my toaster oven and a pack of toll house cookies for 7$ that makes 30ish cookies
Nothing is better than those little one bite cookies warm and goey
On my list.
Caramel Date cake sounds delicious too.
Just the other day I stopped by to get this cookie and ended up getting their brownie as well. The cookie was delicious but I found the brownie absolutely incredible. Apparently they had just brought the brownies back. So I highly recommend that as well!!
I’ll head there this weekend!
I make a pretty solid choco chip in my kitchen. The key is to refrigerate the dough overnight before baking.
I think the best cookie I’ve ever had in Chicago I bought from a stand outside at my senior year homecoming dance. If anyone knows who was selling cookies at the 2022 Mother Mcauley homecoming dance please lmk 💀 they were really fucking good
Highly recommend people to try Dan the Baker’s cookies at Emily Hotel in Fulton Market. Literally changed my life with how good they are
