\u201cMy step-dad is always going to talk about it to anyone who will listen,\u201d she said. \u201cIf he\u2019s in the store, he\u2019s always telling customers, \u2018If you haven\u2019t had the chocolate chip sourdough cookies, you are missing out!\u2019\u201d said Young, shaking her head and smiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also sell the sweeter \u201cO.G.\u201d chocolate chip cookies, which have two bags of chocolate chips in the recipe. Either choice is a winner.

Sweets bakery, their eyes often widen in recognition as they exclaim that the cookies are \u201cjust like the thumbprints I used to get when I was little!\u201d Young smiles and nods, sharing in the nostalgia.
