This Friday was the first time I wanted a Fat Fridays do-over. After deciding not to stray too far from my apartment, I settled on Billy's Bakery. It was easy to look past the plethora of pastel colored cupcakes adorning the refrigerated cases (I've never really been a cupcake person) and instead focus on the bake shop's cookie sandwich. Sweet vanilla cream is layered between two smallish chocolate chip cookies, making one decent sized sandwich.
At $2.50, the treat is an unwelcome butter bomb- the vanilla cream tasted of greasy butter as opposed to the light fluffy frosting I had envisioned, and the cookies were butter heavy and much too soft to withstand getting lost in the blob of cream holding them together. Surprising, because the majority of Billy's Bakery's confections I've had in the past -cupcakes, hello dolly bars, and brownies- have all been stellar. I made the wrong choice, and ended up tossing half the sandwich in the trash.
Looks can be deceiving...
I'll take it!
