The Washingtonian raves about Lola Cookies
"Cookies don't get any better," said Washingtonian magazine in its December issue. And since DC's top magazine has been naming the region's best for decades, who are we to argue?
Washingtonian's critics were wowed by our ginger chocolate cookies, but they hastened to add that "the rest of the lineup ... is just as wonderful." For holiday gift-givers, they suggested our "Milk & Cookies" lunchbox.
