No. 14 of the world's best chocolate chip cookies
Rustica
No. 14The cookie to get
The chocolate chip cookie (and the bittersweet chocolate one)
The bittersweet chocolate cookie made Rustica a Twin Cities icon, but the Star Tribune argues the flat, wrinkled chocolate chip cookie deserves the same billing. Both survived the 2024 change of owner.
Why it's on the list
- Star Tribune, hitting the chocolate chip cookie jackpot
- Star Tribune, Rustica gets a new owner (2024)
