On the search for the best cookies in Connecticut brings us to Sweet Maria’s in Waterbury.
This little bakery has lots to offer, from cakes to cupcakes to pastries.
But they are known for their cookies.
So we tried a range.
Butter cookies
The butter flavor is mild with lots of sugar crystals.
The cookie isn’t as soft as it should be.
Very crispy and breaks apart a lot.
Still nice, however.
The Rating: Butter Cookie
6.5/10
Chocolate chip cookie
Chewy and dense.
Lots and lots of chocolate chunks throughout.
The only downside is the cookie has lots of flour taste to it.
It becomes a little dry, but thankfully all the chocolate chunks keep it level.

Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie
This has the same chewiness and density of the regular chocolate chip cookie.
The same large amount of chocolate chunks throughout.
But now the chocolate added to the batter takes care of the too much flour flavor.
The chocolate adds a little crispiness to the bottom.
These are the cookies to get.
