The Best Store-Bought Chocolate Chip Cookies That Are Both Decadent and Wholesome

Is there a person on the planet who doesn't love indulging in chocolate chip cookies? These sweet snacks are so beloved that some of us will literally eat the dough raw (if this is you, we recommend edible cookie dough). We put cookie dough in our ice cream. We put ice cream in between our cookies. Chocolate chip cookies reign supreme on their own but dipped in a glass of cold milk, they're nothing short of nostalgic. We're talking about plant-based milk, of course—and it turns out some of the best store-bought chocolate chip cookies are also 100 percent vegan.
