Sure, there's donuts, muffins or candy available everywhere downtown to satisfy my colleague's taste buds...but I like to get my treats at Cookies By George.
Their cookies are soft, chewy and full of flavour. They never fail to bring a smile to your face when you take that first bite. -

I thought the cookies were soft and tasty. You can't really have more than a few though, because they're real sweet and rich. Definitely taste like they're made same day. Smallish. Each cookie will run you about $1.50, but if you compare that to what they are selling at the Starbucks a few feet away, the price doesn't seem that bad.
So decent, but no comparison to Blue Chip Cookies at UBC. Those guys are playing in a different league all together.
If you come later in the afternoon, you'll find most of the cookies will be gone (see picture), so for the best selection come earlier.
One thing that bothered me was that, on a recent visit, I ordered a half dozen cookies to have at home later (not just for me). The lady was stuffing the cookies in the paper slip bags when I asked if she could put it in a cardboard box. Nope. If I wanted a box for a half dozen, I'd have to buy one of the special red gift boxes that they put a bow ontop of as a gift. I pointed to the white cardboard boxes already assembled on the shelf behind her. Nope. I have to order 12 cookies to get the basic box, otherwse, all your cookies are going to be in a paper slip, that you could throw into a plastic bag. The cookies made it to their destination unharmed, but still, not cool that they would be so stingy about a cardboard box after I spent 9 bucks on pieces of dough that cost them pennies. -

Too sweet. Greasy. Small. Expensive.
Yup - that about sums it up. -

This is to remind myself that George's cookies are too sweet for me. I think of George's so rarely that I forget it the next time I contemplate it... I dare to say that these are even sweeter than Subway cookies.
If you like sweet, soft/fluffy cookies, this is for you. I like shortbready or chewy with body, and I haven't found that here. -

I thought I knew how to bake until one morning, not so long ago, I treated myself to a chocolate-walnut shortbread cookie. Damn if this little mall stand, wafting its cookie fumes out to commuters, didn't put me in my place. Mmm mmm mmm - there's nothing like a fresh-baked and still-warm cookie for breakfast. As long as you don't do it every day, of course.

I love cookies. The first cookie you try here will be soft, chewy, sweet and good. The next will taste very similar to the first. I think the cookie dough is the same for most of their cookies. The only thing that changes is the 'flavor' (dark chocolate v. White v. Nuts etc).
