Now y’all wanna do a ******* cookie exchange here?

They are brown butter chocolate chip cookies with fleur de sel flakes sprinkled on top. Sub some of the regular sugar with dark brown sugar to keep them soft and get a hint of that molasses sweetness.

And GTFO with those semisweet chocolate chips. I only use Ghiradelli or Valhrona because they don’t have bull**** stabilizers in them.

If I’m feeling a little frisky, I’ll do half chocolate chips, half heath bar toffee bits. Otherwise, I don’t **** with a classic.

And of course, I have quality thick, gold baking sheets that don’t warp and ensure my cookies cook evenly in my calibrated ovens. I know what I’m doing.

Cookies or it didn't happen!

I was near the Town Center Mall today and saw a Crumbl store there, had never even heard of them before this thread.

What?

I went to Crumbl for years, until I had a bad experience at one in Atlanta.

Since then, I'm all about Insomnia Cookies (started by Krispy Kreme, not some Mormon dip****).

But there's a place in Atlanta called Sugar Shane's....unbelieveable. They have a couple of locations, one is in Ponce City Market.

When I first moved to Atlanta and didn't know my way around, I trusted Google Maps to take me to the original location near GaTech, and it was (NOT A JOKE) inside of a 2-car garage on the backside of a residential building. But it was SOOOO ******* good...

This thread is making me hungry!

Ponce City Market has my favorite Mexican here in Atlanta (Minero). Blows Superica and their flavorless crap away.

I’m just an onion with many layers!

Oh God, you just gave me Vietnam flashbacks to my 1L "Elements of the Law" class with Irwin P. Stotzky. The most useless class I've ever taken in my life at any level, and we literally spent the first month talking about the replevin of a wedding ring. Butler v. Wolf Sussman...

Irwin P. always used the "peeling an onion" analogy to talk about learning cases...

What?!?!? I never heard that in law school. We always heard the “seeing the forest for the trees” one.

But okay, I’ll take back the onion. That was the white trash girl in me talking, but now I’m grown up and classy. So I’ll correct myself, and say I’m multi-faceted like a diamond!

Is that the place that's outside on the backside (near where you buy tickets to go up the elevator)?

When we FIRST got to Atlanta, we went to Pancake Social for brunch, but it was a customer service disaster and we haven't been back.

Inside, I like Five Daughters Bakery (also one over by Marcel in West Midtown), I LOVE H&F Burger (one of the UM alums on the Zoom call introduced me to that spot after the UM-GaTech football game a couple of years ago), I really like Hop's Chicken. My wife is a huge fan of Saint Germain Bakery as well. And Sugar Shane's. They sell some of the cookies (pre-wrapped) in the outfield of the Braves' stadium.

I am not much of a cookie monster, prefer really good bread, like in NYC, Abe & Louis, Motek, etc.

YES! Awesome chilaquiles, which is one of my favorite things in the world, although I think they don’t have it on the regular menu, just sometimes on weekends. Good drinks too.

We also LOVE H&F! We used to go to the main location a lot because it’s right by the Shepherd Center, but then they moved. Hop’s Chicken is great too, as is Saint Germain’s Bakery! I haven’t been to Sugar Shane’s…but surprisingly, I’m not a huge sweets person (hence why I put salt on my cookies!).

PCM also has my favorite Williams-Sonoma location. My Avalon location is not that big, unfortunately. And I like that huge random shop upstairs with all the cool local stuff.

I’m exactly the same way. Give me savory breakfast over sweet, and give me bread (or if you really want to sweet talk me, bread and cheese!) instead of dessert.

I even take the icing off of cake.

Before or after why are we reclining?

They had in insomnia cookies in Richmond by VCU when I lived there. I haven’t seen one out here that I can remember. Crumbl I see

I feel like I’m going to go into a diabetic coma from reading these posts.

 

[Unsider]

What a ******* cornball

Something about the swamp and trailerhassee, the coaches always like to play house like 6-year old girls. What’s with that?

 

[Unsider]

He means business

Which end, might I ask?

 

[canesupremacy]

is he the next Dan Mullen?

is he the next Jim McIlwain?

is he the next Will Muschamp?

so he isn't Billy Napier.

why is this guy any better than the other four guys who had better resumes?

He is at best 4th if not 5th. The others were way more respected

lol, I’m not, but I do celebrate the biblical feasts outlined in Leviticus 23 and Hanukkah as an adult. My aunt on my mother’s side married a *** and so growing up I would go to Seders with them. I’m a Jesus follower through and through, but believe in the permanence in the covenants God made with Israel and for Hanukkah what the Maccabees did if there were no Jews there would be no Jesus. Blessings to you as Hanukkah is coming up shortly!

I’m so with you. I love Passover Seders. It’s just one of the most beautiful and culturally significant customs I’ve ever experienced. The whole meal is so moving to me.

I am not ****** (Evangelical Lutheran), as @RVACane knows, but being from South Florida and then living in NYC for three years, I’ve obviously known (and dated) lots of ****** people. And the ELCA Church is very big on questioning things, so when you go through Confirmation, you are required to research and go to other types of churches / services to make sure it’s the right one for you.
