Gotham Cookies

I met Michelle while I was covering the Swirl Dessert & Wine event last week for Serious Eats, and was completely enamored with her almond butter and lemon-coconut cookie. It was chocolatiere Rhonda Kave, better known as the owner of the Lower East Side chocolate shop, Roni-Sue (I've been a fan of this place since it opened in 2007), who introduced me to Michelle. Michelle was, and still is one of Roni-Sue's chocolate assistants - she recently started a company of her own: Gotham Cookies.

We hit it off (how can you NOT with someone who creates such tastiness!) and Michelle was so sweet to drop off her collection of goodies. She started her company two months ago, and is working on her website which should be up and running in a few weeks.

My favourite of her cookies is definitely the Lemon-Coconut, though Mocha-Almond comes awfully close. And for you non-cookie people, she also does Chocolate Brownies and Peanut Butter Bars. Everything is organic.

Below, cookie porn! ^_^ heehee.

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend ^_^

P.S.
A little tidbit. Roni-Sue's other assistant, Liz Gutman also just recently opened her own sweets shop! The company is called Liddabit Sweets, and it's a joint venture with her culinary school friend, Jen King. Their Beer & Pretzel Caramels along with a line of Hard Cider Caramels are crazy good!
