Ah, chocolate chip cookies. They're sweet, gooey, a little bit crispy, and oh so satisfying. And did you know they even have their own holiday? National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day is August 4th, and luckily, Atlanta has plenty of places where you can celebrate. Here are some of the top spots our real estate agents recommend stopping for a celebratory cookie.

• Alon's Bakery & Market - 1394 N. Highland Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30306
  Alon's Bakery & Market is the creation of Alon Balshan, a baker who worked in European bakeries before coming to Atlanta. Since 1992, his shop has been a local mainstay for gourmet baked goods, sandwiches, and deli items. Alon's Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies take chocolate chip to the next level. They have a soft, chewy texture and a rich cocoa flavor. Their Chocolate Chunk Pecan Bites are another twist on the classic. If you're looking for lunch to go with your cookie, their Sandwich Lunch Box is the perfect choice. It comes with your choice of sandwich, a side, chips, and a freshly baked cookie.
  
  
• Not As Famous Cookie Company - 1080 Windy Hill Road SE #300, Smyrna, GA 3008
  Not As Famous Cookie Company was founded in 2008. Since then, they've added a cookie truck and even appeared in several movies. Still, their shop in Smyrna is a great place to stop for a chocolate chip cookie. If you're in the mood for something more, they also offer a cookie bowl that comes with ice cream and a cookie. Another favorite at Not As Famous Cookie Company is the 3 Cookie Grab Bag. You can enjoy them all yourself, or take the extras home to enjoy with family. And while the chocolate chip cookies are some of the best, their Red Velvet White Chocolate Chip and Cookies N Cream are also delightful.
  
  
• Sugar Shane's - 398 14th St., Atlanta, GA 30318
  Sugar Shane's is known for their Sea Salt Chocolate Chip Cookies, which are a great choice for anyone who loves the sweet-and-salty combination. They often have a seven-pack cookie deal, which is perfect if you feel like sharing. Their cookies are baked fresh daily, so they always have a lovely combination of chewy and crispy textures. In addition to chocolate chip cookies, Sugar Shane's has Biscoff Krispies and Dubai Glow Blondies, which are loaded with pistachio crunches and pistachios. Customers also love their cakes, which can suit any occasion.
  
  
• Five Daughters Bakery - 675 Ponce de Leon Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30308
  Five Daughters Bakery offers an assortment of baked goods, from donuts to muffins. But their chocolate chip cookies are a true favorite. They're huge and loaded with chips. Cookies are made daily, and they often add new flavors and options to the menu. The Snowcaps are a top choice if you're gluten-free. Five Daughters Bakery also has excellent coffee, and they even offer boxes of coffee and cookies. This would be a great way to treat your office on National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day!
