Oh how thy firm figure crumbles. Humanity’s finest creation, life’s greatest blessing. A work of art, a masterpiece of culinary engineering hitherto unknown to our humble space-rock-floating race. A labour of love requiring the utmost skill and precision culminating in a salivating symphony of sweetness and crunch. Ladies and gentlemen, we, of course, speak of the cookie.

Maintaining a balance of crispness and chewiness, we’ve gathered a list of some of the best cookie-crave satiating spots in Cairo…

AMBROSIA

Oh trust that Aphrodite is up there in Olympus munching on these juicy Nutella cup cookies and Lotus-filled creamy creations. With deliveries all over Cairo, our late-night Netflix binge sessions are about to be sponsored by Ambrosia.

This artisanal bakery and cafe in New Cairo’s O1 is dedicated to baking with passion and sprinkling perfection all over their mouth-watering belgian chocolate chip cookies. Perfect to dip in a hot cup of coffee (or milk if you’re feeling like a certain famed silver-hailed fella), Baxter’s authentic cookies are available for same day delivery on the Botit app.

BASCOTA

THE COOKIEVORE

Mix Mall, Sheikh Zayed

These juicy doughy cookies come with a disclaimer: one bite and you’re officially a cookievore. But if you ask us, we’ll gladly embrace our inner cookie monsters and crunch till we drop.

And if your cookie cravings are imminent, Dukes’ cookies are available for some day delivery on the Botit app.

DARA’S ICE CREAM

Branches all over Cairo

Uhm, brownie-stuffed cookies? Yeah we’re not leaving any time soon. Aside from serving up some of our favourite icy creations, Dara’s cookies are just as lip-smacking succulent as their signature ice creams.

WEIRDOUGH

Zamalek, Cairo

I’m a creep, I'm a weirdough. Okay, we’re done with the Radiohead puns. From s’more filled chocolate chip cookies to flaky Lotus fusions, we’re going loco over Weirdough’s cookies. And we’re going even more loco over the fact that they’re only one click away on the Botit app (Help, we can’t stop ordering).

DIRTY COOKIE

Branches all over Cairo & North Coast

Double the chocolate and double the crunch! Shot glasses made out of cookie dough? That’s how you know you’re in Sahel. From devilish doughy (and somehow still crunchy) three-layered cookie cakes to marshmallow topped lotus cookies, that beach bod is going on a well-deserved hiatus.

Branches all over Cairo

The only nudes we condone sharing with friends. These freshly-baked cookies are getting us back to basics with some good old Nutella, Belgian chocolate, and Kinder chocolate chips.
