I stumbled on the cutest bakery, just off of South Street in Philadelphia.  I had to check it out, ever since I saw the Facebook post about their HOT WING COOKIES.  So last week, I headed down to South Street.  As I was walking south on 5th Street, the large red logo letters POPPED off of the window, COOKIE CONFIDENTIAL. You might recognize the name from their recent ad in the PGN.  I walked in and started talking to the tattooed girl with a huge smile who was behind the counter, turns out, she was the owner, Melissa.   I knew this woman was cool when I saw that she was riddled in tattoos and knew what I meant when I said that the “club” that used to be at 13th and Locust back in the day was off the charts crazy!  ;-)

I saw a Facebook post a week or two ago about their HOT Wing cookies, my initial thought was, "Ew, Gross!"  UM, SO WRONG!  Think savory scone!  Ever seen Ina Garten make savory scones?   (of course you have!)  Don’t judge!  These cookies were delicious.  A dense consistency that just sort of gave way almost like a butter cookie!  It had rich warm flavors that began to get warm, and warmer, and then a little sting! …. …. and there’s the hot sauce she talked about.  Delicious!  I also tried the Cheesesteak cookie, I gotta tell you.  I was a skeptic, but am now a huge fan!  For all my vegan boys and girls out there!  Cookie Confidential offers a vegan chocolate chip cookie that is too die for!

As we talked, I looked around and noticed Cookie Confidential also sold cupcakes, but not pretty cupcakes, not sexy, not even an average looking, plain out – ugly!  haha, who cares, they were perfection – IN A JAR or IN A  PUSH POP!  Yes, the most delicious cupcakes, served in mason jars, layers of cupcake and icing!  The coolest thing I had was the PUSH POP cupcake, you literally ate it like a lollipop!  Mini cupcakes that were piled on top of each other, I had to PUSH the cupcake to eat it!

I loved how everything in the bakery had the cute little "Cookie Confidential" logo on it.  They even sell t-shirts, what I didn’t tell Melissa,  is how much I LOVE graphic T shirts and how much I would LOVE LOVE  LOVE to wear a CC T-shirt around Philly!
