Celebrate National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day With L.A.'s Best

Did you know that today is National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day? We were all too happy to turn our attention away from Dunkin' Donuts cravings and an unsavory battle over Foie Gras to daydream about our favorite chocolate chip treats throughout Los Angeles. We drooled over a list we made of primo chocolate chip cookies the last time a national day of chocolatey reverence was upon us. (Mmmm... chocolate chips.)
To be sure we weren't missing any spots for a chocolate chip cookie fix, we asked for your favorites. Of course, Diddy Riese is always a popular pick, but here are some more great recommendations you sent for satisfying a sweet tooth.
Porto's Bakery (Burbank)
Vanilla Bake Shop (Santa Monica & Century City)
Aurelie The Cookie Guru (Santa Monica Place)
Clementine (West L.A.)
Tender Greens (Multiple Locations)
Proof Bakery (Atwater Village)
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels (Multiple Locations)
