Baltimore Famous Berger Cookies

Baltimore’s famous cookie! Cakey cookie topped with a thick layer of chocolate-fudgy frosting. The. Best. Cookie. Everrr!! 

While I’m in Alaska for the arrival of my sister’s sixth baby boy – yes SIX…they now have a sub for a basketball team – we all had the craving for the famous thick and fudgy Baltimore Berger Cookies. Having Berger Cookies shipped to Alaska is insanely $$$ and not an option, so my sister and I searched the web and decided to try King Arthur Flour’s Berger Cookie recipe.  Result – it’s a winning recipe, be sure to read the great reviews.

I whipped these cookies up for my sister and the family and they turned out great, we loved them. The cookies are pretty darn close to the original. If you’ve never had a Berger cookie, you would never know the difference. The cookie portion is a great copycat. The chocolate icing is a little more rich than the original, but the texture is perfect. Overall, it’s a great copycat for one of my favorite cookies. I can’t wait to make these back home for family and friends.

Please note:  This is not a sponsored post. I have no affiliation with Berger Cookies or King Arthur Flour, I am just a fan of this amazing cookie. I lived in Maryland for almost 10 years and miss being able to purchase these cookies at the grocery store. Our family (and friends) love these cookies so much, every time my husband travels and has a stop at BWI airport, he ALWAYS purchases several boxes of cookies to bring home. I also purchase them and have them shipped right to my door.  I love that I now have a great copycat recipe for my recipe box!
