I had the pleasure of indulging and I mean indulging in the now world famous Obama Chocolate Chip cookies on New Years Day. There is a little restaurant down in the East Village called "Baby Boomers", about 2 blocks from where I work and right next door to where President Elect Obama had his first campaign headquarters. The story goes that he ate at "Baby Boomers" all the time when he was in town and he and Michelle loved their chocolate chip cookies so much that they would order them from the campaign trail and have the owner ship them to where ever they were.
The press got wind of it and since then, the owners of "Baby Boomers" have been unindated with requests for the cookies from all over the world. There NOT cheap, about $10 buck a dozen. My Aunt decided that she would treat us all to a dozen of the cookies on New Year's Day when they came over to watch football.
The cookies are more of a cake type cookie than a soft chewy cookie (which I personally like better), but they use chunks of chocolate rather than chips and there are still damn good and it didn't stop me from eating like 4 of them.
If you're ever in the East Village, stop by "Baby Boomers" and treat yourself....oh and BTW...their tenderloins are pretty damn good also!
