There's something so special about a simple cookie.

Though best known for their fruitcakes, customers also come from far and wide to enjoy Collin Street Bakery's amazing fresh baked cookies, which come in an incredible array of flavors.

Collin Street Bakery is a well-known bakery that originated in Corsicana, Texas. Founded in 1896 by Gus Weidmann, a German immigrant, and Tom McElwee, the bakery started as a small operation but has since gained international fame for its quality baked goods.

My favorite cookies at Collin Street Bakery are their classic chocolate chip pecan cookie (a taste of Texas!), their cherry ice box cookie (an old-fashioned classic), and their fruit nut cookie (a cookie that incorporates some of the ingredients of their world-famous fruitcake).

Price

Cookies cost around $0.75 each, depending on the flavor. It's inexpensive - and a lot of fun - to sample lots of different flavors.
