The
Chipyard is a very simple yet special place we recommend that you visit
while in Boston. Let's be honest, a chocolate chip cookie is the first desert
that almost anyone learns to cook. Most people with basic cooking skills would
agree it's difficult to make a chocolate chip cookie that is truly awful.
However, an exceptional chocolate chip cookie is a wonderful thing.
I discovered the
Chipyard at least ten years ago. They are located in Quincy Market inside of
the Faneuil Hall area. In college my friends and stumbled across The Chipyard
(possibly literally) because there are a lot of bars in the area that are
popular with college age people as well as locals and tourists. The Chipyard is
open 24 hours a day, so warm, delicious cookies very late at night were
incredibly appealing to us. Faneuil Hall is a wonderful area to grab
dinner and few drinks no matter who you are or what age, but remember to save
some room for some cookies!
I personally recommend that you follow some tips when you visit them. First,
don't be afraid to mix cookies. They often have six or more different flavors
and it can be overwhelming to pick only one to try. Go ahead and ask for one of
each or (if you're like me) a few of whatever flavor looks the best and a
couple singles of other ones you think you might like to test out. Second, I
believe the peanut butter chocolate chip ones are amazing, I recommend
you should get them every time. And lastly either ask them which ones came
out of the oven last, or stand back for a few minutes and ask for the hot ones
right out of the ovens. They have a really fast paced business so the cookies
are always fresh but there is something about a chocolate chip cookie right out
of the oven that just makes them that much better every time.
