Best Cookies in Cypress

"For nearly 20 years, this cocoa kingdom has been serving chocolate to Houstonians in just about every form imaginable. You might be overwhelmed by all the offerings at this little, um, slice of paradise, but here’s a cheat sheet: The chocolate-covered Oreos are a crunchy, creamy, nostalgic trip, and the four-layer Uncle Darryl’s chocolate cake is a masterwork, complete with rich mousse, ganache, and toffee crumbles."

"Of course you know Sprinkles (i.e. some of the best cupcakes…ever), but did you know their ice cream is just as good as their cupcakes, and when you eat it with the cupcakes, it’s a combination that you have to try to understand. It’s quite literally a cupcake sandwich. You pick a flavor of ice cream (I’m a big fan of their salty caramel), then you pick a cupcake, and they serve it like a sundae, but unlike any sundae you’re used to."
