Cardoso Cookies

Nothing can beat the taste of Mom’s homemade chocolate chip cookies just out of the oven. But Anthony Cardoso comes really close. After months of recipe-testing, Cardoso, a 2002 graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, perfected a tender and chewy cookie made with 100% butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate. Don’t stop at the chocolate chip: we also recommend the peanut butter milk chocolate chip and apple pie thumbprint cookies.
