DELICIOUS DISCS
The Avalanche
The Cookie Jar, Parker Road and Main Street, Parker

It’s hard to decide which kind of treat to get at this tiny, independent cookie shop in a Parker strip mall. We say go with the peanut butter. On second thought, the chocolate chip. No, definitely make it their new offering, the avalanche, big, round and loaded with white chocolate chips. This place is a great homemade alternative to the big cookie chains.
