Au Bon Pain

Au Bon Pain has so many delicious breakfast items, but I finally had a chance to try their cookies for an afternoon snack. 

The day I visited, there were sugar, chocolate chip, English toffee, confetti (aka M&M), shortbread, and chocolate dipped shortbread cookies available. I debated between the English toffee and chocolate dipped shortbread. The shiny chocolate coating of the shortbread called to me! I should have selected the English toffee... The chocolate dipped portion was great (chocolate layer was very thick), but the plain shortbread section had more of a savory flavor. It actually tasted a little bit like cheese. Has anyone had a better experience and could recommend my next Au Bon Pain cookie?

Cookie prices range from $1.39 to $1.69. To find your closest Au Bon Pain, visit www.aubonpain.com.
