Chocolate Mint Cookie at Arizmendi (1268 Valencia, S.F.)

We know all you want to read about today is The Giants and how much we all want to stick it in cheer for Buster Posey so let's make this quick. The Mint Chocolate cookie from the brand-new Arizmendi Bakery on Valencia is basically a squished brownie with chunks of chocolate melting out of it. Like, imagine if someone took an entire bar of high-quality dark chocolate and placed it on top of a cookie before they baked it. Can we get a what-what for adult onset diabetes!? It’s the size of your face and worth every penny of its $2 price tag because it has the calories of 12 regular meals. Get it!
