Sugar and Spoon: While this edible cookie dough shop isn’t technically ice cream, it falls along the same lines and it was too enticing not to try. The brownie batter definitely tasted like a brownie, which I liked. And as someone who enjoys eating cookie dough more than cookies, the chocolate chip dough was amazing. The dessert was very rich, though, so I was only really able to have a few bites before it was too much.  As a cookie dough lover, I definitely recommend this place— just don’t go if you have a full stomach.
