8. Chip NYC

Chip made its way onto the cookie scene in Astoria, Queens in 2017. Since they only focus on cookies, it’s no wonder that they are some of the best the city has to offer. They’ve since expanded to other locations across the Big Apple. We recommend the chocolate peanut butter but literally anything off the menu is to die for.
