A Sweetgreen Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookie. / Snackology
You may find this hard to believe, but I eat a salad for lunch multiple days a week. Sometimes it’s a bagged salad that I mix up at my desk, but sometimes it’s a salad from Sweetgreen. Are slop bowls not cool anymore? I refuse to be judged for my lunch choices.
My go-to salad at Sweetgreen is a Harvest Bowl. I made the mistake of ordering Molly’s Pickle Caesar Sal when that was the special last month — and that was one of the worst salads I’ve ever had. Sorry, Molly Baz. I like your mayos, though!
Thankfully, Sweetgreen introduced something much more delicious this week: A Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookie.
“Bringing a cookie to the Sweetgreen menu is a big moment for us,” Sweetgreen co-founder Nic Jammet said in the company’s announcement. “We’ve always believed that every ingredient should have a purpose, and that philosophy doesn't stop with the main meal. We wanted to bring the same care and intention to something as familiar and comforting as a chocolate chip cookie. From the sourdough starter to the dark chocolate and fresh baking every day, it’s a sweet finish that feels distinctly Sweetgreen.”
It’s a good cookie, and a welcome addition to the Sweetgreen menu if you’re looking for something sweet to add to your order. I don’t think it’s worth $2.75 for a single cookie, especially not when an entire bag of Pepperidge Farm Dark Chocolate Sourdough with Brown Butter Cookies goes for under six bucks.
