FEATURED COOKIE
This lumpy bumpy cookie is chewy, sweet, salty and undeniably sexy: butterscotchy from an infusion of Lyle's Golden Syrup (that British elixir of happiness), macadamia nuts add crunch and salt, oatmeal and sundried apricots give it a big chewiness, white chocolate for sweetness, dark bittersweet chocolate for depth. Add your imagination for that sexy, seductive sway.
TODAY's MENU - Sunday, February 5th
Loosely based on a Snickerdoodle, this baby does have cinnamon sugar but its also perfumed with cardamom and of course the wonderful tartness of dried apricot and the crunch of pistachio.
Small in size, huge in flavor: Maker's Mark bourbon, Jamaican ginger ale, a hint of lemon - my favorite cocktail perfectly transformed into a crunchy, delightful, adult cookie.

This is the classic chocolate chip cookie with walnuts. I can take one look at a cookie – particularly a chocolate chip cookie - and know if I want to eat it. This is the one I want.
Simple but seductive, this little charmer is a bit of a chameleon - at the holidays it may sport the bright color of sun dried cranberry or cherries. At other times you may find it with sun dried blueberries or apricots. What doesn't change is the trilogy of organic unsweetened coconut, butter, and cream cheese - rich, mellow, smooth.
Black as sin, spicy as the devil, this cookie will wake up even the most jaded monster's taste buds. Cocoa and bittersweet chocolate combined with cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and black pepper with a velvety texture, Diablo looks so innocent but its naughty. Being bad tastes so good.
This is a chewy, spicy ginger cookie – not a gingersnap. It is flavored with cinnamon, ginger, allspice, molasses, and enhanced with lots and lots of organic crystallized ginger. This cookie leaves a lovely aftertaste - which usually means that you end up reaching for yet another one!
By request: no nuts. Still delicious.
This darling cookie is a VLC original (as are all the Lucys). Almond paste makes for a wonderful chewy texture while the big HIT is lemon – there is nothing subtle about a Lucy. Big lemon flavor is created by a combination of lemon zest, juice, oil, and sugar. If lemon is your thing – as it is mine, you will be very happy.
A chewy, cinnamon-y oatmeal cookie with both golden and black raisins. My breakfast on many occasions – hey, its oatmeal, its got to be good for you right?
A cookie that I like to offer around Valentine's Day, this dense chocolate cookie features heavy cream that has been infused with organic freeze dried raspberries. I strain the cream which removes the seeds but salvages the absolutely amazing pink cream. The cookie is magic.
While living in Germany as a kid, I developed a thing for poppy seeds. The classic combination of lemon and poppy seed, with the mellow undertone of sour cream makes for a light, delightful cookie. So what's the twist? A bit of crystallized ginger adds just the right zing.
My mom always said "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all." Ok, so here's the positive way of saying this I guess "Almond Bliss takes the wonderful flavor combination of organic shredded coconut, dark Belgian chocolate, toasted almonds and wraps it all up in one delicious little package without the use of preservatives, corn syrup, or an unfriendly bit of packaging." Ok, so I was never very good with rules. But I am one damn good cookie baker! Come get 'em!

Inspired by a delicious pancake at Betty's Oceanside Diner in Berkeley, California, I knew I had to come up with a cookie version. Buttery organic cornmeal jazzed up with the flavors of the season - sometimes it is sundried blueberries and lemon. Other times dried cranberries and orange. Or maybe sundried pears, currants, and brandy. Or...........
Hold me back! This is a decadent piece of chocolate. Callaubaut chcolate combined with cognac soaked sun dried blueberries and then rolled in turbinado sugar for glitz and crunch. It's important to note that this cookie does have nuts in it - finely ground almonds which add flavor and texture.
This little gem is a cocoa sandwich cookie that hides a filling created with raspberry jam and aged imported balsamic vinegar. The filling and the cookie kind of meld to become one, creating a lovely combination of flavors.
"OMG". That was my first reaction to biting into this cookie. Mint infused cream is mixed into a dark chocolate dough and the result is the smoothest, richest, better-than-peppermint-patty cookie I've tasted. Even after it was gone I probably sounded a bit like Sally in the famous diner scene - "yes, yes, YES!".
A shortbread crust layered with bittersweet chocolate, blueberry jam, and fresh blueberries and then topped with a crumbly, messy, buttery, delicious bit of shortbread, oats, and almonds. I considered naming it "blueberry beast" to acknowledge its addictive tendencies: once you start, you're hopelessly lost. This "cookie" is changed seasonally to reflect the fruit of the moment but what doesn't change is the cry of "more please!".
Small in size, huge in flavor: Maker's Mark bourbon, Jamaican ginger ale, a hint of lemon - my favorite cocktail perfectly transformed into a crunchy, delightful, adult cookie.
Betty knows nothing about being polite. She will leave you smeared in chocolate and lusting for more. The best Belgian chocolate, fleur de sel, toasted almonds barely held together with a bit of butter, she's sweet, she's salty and she's gonna have you wrapped around her little cookie finger.
A blondie, named after that most famous of blondes (at least most famous to my adoring partner), the Brigitte bar is sweet and salty, chewy and rich. Macadamia nuts and white chocolate combined with browned butter make it irresistible.

We've all had carrot cake so this doesn't need alot of introduction. Still.... my version has dried pineapple, coconut, raisins, and walnuts. Then two cookies are sandwiched around a big wad of delicious cream cheese icing. This is one of the few cookies I sell singly (no one seems to want to share!).
A customer thinks I should call this cookie "jewel and spice" because the light coating of raw sugar that encrusts this cute domino shaped cookie not only gives it a bit of sweet crunch but makes it sparkle like a gem. Perfect partnered with a cup of tea.
Vlc's signature oatmeal with a few changes – sundried cherries stand in for the raisins. Maple syrup and toasted pecans are natural partners for flavor and depth.
WOW - now this is a fun cookie. Super high labor so its not around often but when it is - grab it. A bar with layers of white chocolate ganache, nutella, rice krispies, and flourless brownie, it is a cookie from another planet. CHOCADOOBY!
All the chocolatey-ness of a brownie, enhanced with pecans, sundried cherries and chunks of bittersweet chocolate. This cookie will satisfy all your chocolate cravings without leaving you feeling like you've had "too much" - unless of course, you can't stop eating them and then that's something you'll have to own.
This is the classic chocolate chip cookie with walnuts. I can take one look at a cookie – particularly a chocolate chip cookie - and know if I want to eat it. This is the one I want.
This girl has stolen my heart - she's a long, lanky stick bejeweled with shards of white chocolate. One of the ways I measure a great cookie is by the aftertaste; this one has exactly what I'm looking for: sweet, a bit of spice, buttery, vanilla. Cinnamon girl can stand alone or play soul mate to a scoop of gelato (chocolate would be DIVINE!) or a cuppa joe.
I LOVE these cookies! Simple enough for the pickiest child, sophisticated enough for the most discriminating foodie. Shortbread made with hazelnut flour and of course cinnamon, so buttery they melt in your mouth. On occasion to I gild the lily by sandwiching them with a chocolate hazelnut filling. Plain or filled they are a personal favorite.
Cookies and Cream changes with my whim - lime one day, hot chocolate the next. Who knows what will show up (you can always call to find out of course!). No matter, they are DELICIOUS and unique. Kind of a meringue married to a marshmallow, part cookie, part candy. Final word: addictive.
This is a seasonal cookie - a holiday winner of sun dried cranberries, cardamom, crystallized ginger, walnuts, and fresh orange. Its rolled in a bit of cinnamon sugar before baking to add a final bit of spicy warmth. Get them while you can - Thanksgiving through Christmas ---.

My dad has a problem. He has to have his bowl of butter pecan ice cream every night! This cookie is my rebuttal – crisp with an almost butterscotch flavor and then topped off with a whiskey glaze. He’s not giving up his ice cream but with a cookie on the side... heaven!
Black as sin, spicy as the devil, this cookie will wake up even the most jaded monster's taste buds. Cocoa and bittersweet chocolate combined with cayenne pepper, cinnamon, and black pepper with a velvety texture, Diablo looks so innocent but its naughty. Being bad tastes so good.
Brownies are hotly contested items and I respect everyone’s opinion as to what is “best”. This is my best. Valrhona cocoa and Callabaut chocolate and baked just until done. They are moist, dense, and very chocolatey – everything a brownie should be – again, just my opinion!!
A simple little butter cookie perfect with a cup of joe. The name pretty much says it all – flavored with espresso, Makers Mark bourbon, toasted walnuts.
This is a chewy, spicy ginger cookie – not a gingersnap. It is flavored with cinnamon, ginger, allspice, molasses, and enhanced with lots and lots of organic crystallized ginger. This cookie leaves a lovely aftertaste - which usually means that you end up reaching for yet another one!
This little gem is almost as darling and sweet as my three year old niece. Its small for small hands, vanilla with a dusting of nutmeg, crisp, charming in its innocence. When I place these on the counter next to the Diablos I always have a fleeting notion of Angels and Demons.
By request: no nuts. Still delicious.
Did you have a hard night? Well, maybe a little more bourbon will cure your ills. This is the most decadent “cookie” I make. Its not a brownie and its not fudge, its somewhere in between – I don’t think it really needs a category. Just call it wonderful. Makers Mark bourbon, black mission figs, Callabaut chocolate – its over
the top for some people – for others its nirvana.
The marriage I'm talking about here is one of flavors: bittersweet chocolate, sun dried cherries, toasted almonds all bundled together into a coconut cookie. I don't think this one will end in divorce!
Uncle Harry had an open heart, full of love. A sweet dear man. I keep heart shaped cookies on the counter for him. The flavor changes - meyer lemon shortbread, cinnamon hazelnut, are just examples of what you may find. What doesn't change is my gratitude for having known Harry. Show your love for someone by sharing Harry's Hearts with them!
Most people think of sesame seeds as a topping for a hamburger bun. You may be surprised by the rich nutty taste of this sassy little cookie. Slightly reminiscent of a peanut butter cookie but with a more charming honey / floral thing. Sweet and salty, fun and grown-up, this cookie may become an addiction.
In my neck of the woods when we say something is a "real humdinger", it means "damn, that's GOOD." And this cookie is. Its a layered bar of flourless brownie, dulce de leche, and shortbread. Its oooey gooey, rich, and yes, a "real humdinger!".
Another butter cookie, this one developed to accompany tea rather than coffee. Flavored with fresh orange zest and toasted ground almonds.
This darling cookie is a VLC original (as are all the Lucys). Almond paste makes for a wonderful chewy texture while the big HIT is lemon – there is nothing subtle about a Lucy. Big lemon flavor is created by a combination of lemon zest, juice, oil, and sugar. If lemon is your thing – as it is mine, you will be very happy.
This is one special cookie – usually lime cookies don’t really taste much like lime. That’s because no one wants to go to the trouble of using real limes. VLC’s cookie has fresh lime juice and fresh lime zest as well as lime oil for a big citrus hit. Then to add something special, I’ve rolled it in a mixture of raw sugar and organic maple sugar to create a crunchy delicious border.
A tribute to the days of getting up early on Saturday mornings to watch Scooby Doo while eating my blueberry pancakes, this is a crisp & chewy cookie flavored with maple syrup, a hint of cinnamon, and sun dried blueberries. I may be beyond Scooby now but I'm not afraid of a good pancake breakfast - or of these cookies!
What's better than mint chocolate chip ice cream? Mint chocolate chip cookies, flecked with pretty bits of fresh mint and studded with bittersweet callabaut chocolate. Be careful: they are kind of like french fries- you can't eat just one.
While this cookie may look vaguely like biscotti, it is not! Its a once-baked, crunchy, skinny little number flecked with bittersweet chocolate, toasted almonds flavored with espresso and a touch of cinnamon. I love it next to a bowl of ice cream or with coffee.
Nothing satisfies in the summer like a Mojito cocktail - rum, mint, lime. The bakery isn't licensed to sell alcohol though so those flavors will have to go into a cookie. You add the sunshine.
A chewy, cinnamon-y oatmeal cookie with both golden and black raisins. My breakfast on many occasions – hey, its oatmeal, its got to be good for you right?
A cookie that I like to offer around Valentine's Day, this dense chocolate cookie features heavy cream that has been infused with organic freeze dried raspberries. I strain the cream which removes the seeds but salvages the absolutely amazing pink cream. The cookie is magic.
You know its summer when this cookie is for sale! Sweet and tart, soft and chewy, with little flecks of freeze dried strawberries, this cookie will make you want to run through the sprinkler in your bathing suit!
This is a cookie that has it all – dark bittersweet Callabaut chocolate, almonds, dried apricots, and espresso. While the ingredient list might sound odd to the uninitiated, it is an immediate hit with anyone who tastes it: sweet, tangy, deep, bright, chewy, and yes, delicious.
While living in Germany as a kid, I developed a thing for poppy seeds. The classic combination of lemon and poppy seed, with the mellow undertone of sour cream makes for a light, delightful cookie. So what's the twist? A bit of crystallized ginger adds just the right zing.
Chewy from almond paste and very vanilla – y, Vanilla Bean Lucy has been a quick seller from day one. Perfect for the connoisseur who knows that vanilla is anything but plain.
These little cookies don't look like much; not exactly a wallflower but no stunning beauty either. But, and this is a big BUT, in the flavor department, they sing. Toasted walnuts, butter, and brandy form a simple dough which is then rolled directly into a big pile of raw sugar. The sugar becomes deeply embedded in the cookie, giving it crunch and a wonderful sandy texture; a sophisticated little nibbler to accompany your afternoon tea or after dinner port.
A buttery, slightly crisp but still chewy cookie. The chew comes from ground coconut; the flavor is all butter, white chocolate, a hit of rum, crystallized ginger, and almonds. Hand chunked Callabaut white chocolate sets this cookie apart from the overly sweet mall cookies.
Did you know that Hagen Daz's second most popular flavor (after vanilla) is dulce de leche? YoYo Mama is a cute little sandwich cookie filled with a luscious dollop of silky, seductive dulce de leche. I sell them in packs of four because no one seems to be able to eat just one.
