Who doesn’t love a good throne? I wasn’t expecting to encounter three fabulous hot-pink throne chairs when I visited the Summer Fancy Food Show in June, but there they were, presiding over the Diva Delights‘ booth like the seating area of a very glamorous destination.

This cookie brand went all-in on its diva theme, creating a sleek black-and-gold booth complete with crystal drop lighting fixtures, a dramatic gold-and-black logo backdrop, a jeweled-pen giveaway and these spectacular Pink-and-Gold High-Back Throne Chairs. The cookies stepped aside for a moment: I absolutely had to take a picture of these chairs!

Every now and then, Trader Joe’s sneaks something onto the shelves that looks innocent enough—until you bring it home and realize you’ve developed a full emotional attachment to it. Their Dress Circle (meaning fancy!) Crispy Crunchy Chocolate Chip Cookies are exactly that kind of snack.

Sold in a generous one-pound tub (yes, a full pound), these tiny cookies somehow manage to feel both adorable and dangerously addictive. I didn’t stop to count them, but the container claims around 200 cookies, which feels accurate based on how often I keep reaching back in for “just one more.” The best part? They genuinely taste homemade—like the kind of perfectly crisp, buttery little cookies you wish you could bake yourself if only your patience extended to making cookies the size of quarters.

Do you like cookies? I sure do. But I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a cookie snob. Most store-bought, packaged cookies just don’t do it for me. I want cookies to feel special — whether that means homemade-tasting, healthy, artisan, or just thoughtfully crafted. That’s why I love reviewing cookies from smaller, high-quality brands; I always suspect they’ll be delicious. And in the case of Isabella’s Cookie Company, I was right — these cookies are seriously yum. Let’s take a closer look.

There’s a fancy bakery on the upper west side where people will wait in line on the street for an hour to buy these humongous 6-ounce chocolate chip cookies for which they are renown. The cookies are so huge that one can easily be shared by two or more normal-size adults and no one would feel like they are missing out. Just being serious.
