Keep your Oreos, snickerdoodles, Vienna fingers,
pfeffernüsse, shortbread, gingerbread, biscotti,
madeleines, Malomars, and macaroons: When the milk is cold and the
sweet tooth's a-hankering, all we really want is a platter of soft,
fragrant chocolate chip cookies. Mrs. Fields and Famous Amos offer
perfectly adequate Toll House knockdowns, but when you're craving an
ultimate coalescence of butter, sugar, and cacao-bean essence, hie thee
to Cioccolata Di Vino, a classy restaurant/bakery/wine bar in
Berkeley's Gourmet Ghetto. Their house-made cookies are absolutely
packed with top-shelf Callebaut Belgian chocolate and crunchy-creamy
pecan shards, so packed in fact that the cookies end up like chunks of
candy barely held together with a spoonful of buttery undercooked
dough. These endorphin-rich treats compete for your attention with a
fine selection of tarts, cakes, gelati, and truffles (plus
antipasti and panini), but you can't go wrong with chocolate
chip cookies and a glass of milk (although that Coume del Mas Banyuls
makes a mighty tasty lactose-free substitute).
