In my quest to find the perfect chocolate chip cookie, I came across a new shop at Armature Works. First, I hate that parking there costs $10, but that is on the City of Tampa for not doing better. I ordered 6 of the chocolate chip, and these cookies are massive. I found it interesting that their sampler pack is $25 for 6 when 4 of the 6 cookies in the sampler pack are at the lower price point (6 for $20), and 2 are at the higher price point. This seems to be a miss in marketing, but perhaps they have their reasons. Now onto the star- the cookie. Their chocolate chip have salt on them which is such a great tool to ensure the cookie isn’t overly sweet. The proportion of dough to chocolate chip is perfect. Some cookies are so full of chips/chunks/nuts that you cannot taste the cookie. Well, they got that part right. This is a meticulously balanced cookie with exceptional flavor. I would rank it 9 out of 10, and definitely worth stoping by to try. They have another location on Davis island, which avoids the armature works parking problem.
