The Chubby
Monorail Espresso
It feels applicable to kick off our cookie countdown with a deal with from one in all Seattle’s most beloved and longest-running espresso stands, Monorail Espresso. The Chubby (or the Chubbie—I’ve seen it spelled each methods on Monorail’s Instagram web page) is a cookie for many who like cookie dough greater than baked cookies.
Created by Monorail co-founder Chuck Beek, its purposefully pale texture sits someplace between a cakey cookie and a thick slab of shortbread. This isn’t a cookie you scarf down in simply a few bites for a fast sugar hit. The Chubby is crumbly and decadent and finest loved slowly, with espresso, scorching chocolate, or tea.

Take a small chunk of the Chubby, take a sip of your drink, and repeat. Nonetheless burdened? Seize one other cookie. Take one other breath. You are in Chubby’s world now.
