Whether you prefer oatmeal, chocolate chip, monster, or sugar, we’ve got recommendations for some of Champaign-Urbana’s finest cookies

 

Whether you prefer a plain cookie or one with the kitchen sink thrown in, Champaign-Urbana is sure to have something to satisfy your tastebuds. We asked our readers to tell us their favorite bakeries to support and your recommendations have us wanting to hop in the car and take on this trail right now.

As one reader told us, “I love these (food trails). Never a consensus. One of the best things about our area: plenty of ‘best of’ everything.” We couldn’t agree more.

We received a few mentions for Subway, Barnes and Noble, and Potbelly, but as always with our food trail posts, we focus on small businesses in our community.
