Sweet Addiction Cookies & Ice Cream
As the name says, Sweet Addiction has ice cream, too, so you can layer those mocha-coffee cookies around Medieval Madness ice cream. If you want. The 17 cookie flavors also include Reese’s Pieces, white chocolate chip, mint chocolate chip, Tuxedo and oatmeal-butterscotch.
Sweet Addiction Cookies & Ice Cream, 5165 S. Fort Apache Road, 702-570-6993, and 2291 N. Green Valley Parkway in Henderson, 702-547-9244, or sweetaddictionlv.com
Milk Bar
These are the cookies — from pastry chef Christina Tosi — that helped seal the fame of Momofuku. At its sister bakery, Milk Bar, try the compost cookie, which contains chocolate and butterscotch chips, ground coffee, graham cracker crumbs, potato chips, rolled oats and pretzels, or the blueberry and cream, corn, cornflake-marshmallow or chocolate-chocolate varieties.
