Cookie Dough Creations – Naperville, IL

I will try not to ramble on and on about this place, but frankly, it’s one of the best culinary ideas ever created, so it will be difficult.

D.Rough had gone to this place a few years back when her sister moved to the Chicago area. When she found out, the hard way, about my addiction to cookie dough, she immediately brought it up and made sure to mention it from time to time so I didn’t forget – like THAT would happen.

We were in the area visiting her family and had some free time, so we headed there. And to be frank, it’s amazing.

It’s a cookie dough shop AND ice cream shop. In fact, what you’re supposed to do is order your cookie dough first (in the same refrigerated cases as the ice cream) and then tell them what ice cream you’d like to go underneath the cookie dough. They have 8 flavors of cookie dough, including Oreo, Turtle, Regular, Peanut Butter, Cake Batter, Fudge Brownie, Brown Sugar, and M&M. The dough is made without eggs, so it’s safe to eat (and healthy, right?) Then you can choose from like 20 flavors of ice cream, which also all sound delicious.

After what seemed like an hour of deliberation on proper caramel-to-chocolate ratio, I decided on French Silk ice cream underneath Turtle cookie dough. And it was stellar. Seriously stellar. It’s half cookie dough and half ice cream in a cup. We got a small dish to share and I’m glad I did. Otherwise, I would have died. They pack a lot of this stuff into the dish.

We went outside and sat on a bench in front of the store. It was so delicious, people walking past asked us what we were eating and then went straight inside and bought their own. We’re great marketers!

When I got home, I looked at the website and I’m glad I didn’t notice they make 10” cookie dough ice cream sandwiches and all kinds of various desserts. Though they do ship these things….. hmmmm…..

No top 5, but it truly is an amazing idea for a dessert shop. Especially if you knew how much cookie dough everyone in our family eats…
