A quarter-pound of cookie so delectable they named it evil has been named the best chocolate chip cookie in Georgia.

Tripping.com, one of the largest vacation rental sites in the world, listed Muss & Turner's wickedly good chocolate chip cookie, the evil cookie, as the best chocolate chip cookie in Georgia on its "Best Chocolate Chip Cookies in Every U.S. State" list.

The list was curated by 20 writers across the country, whose travels have led them to some of America’s warmest, most gooey and freshest chocolate chip cookies.

Muss & Turner’s, which has locations in Smyrna and East Cobb, serves up the evil cookie daily for $3.53. The hefty chocolate chip cookie is baked with a variety of milk and dark chocolate chips and either local Georgia pecans, white chocolate and cranberries, oatmeal raisin or mango macadamia.

The cookie was the brain child of co-owner Todd Musman, when he was a student at Ithaca College. He told Atlanta Magazine: “There was a place called Danz Cookies that did cookie delivery. You could call from the dorms and they would show up with a dozen of these big cookies, a pint of ice cream, and a quart of milk,” Mussman says. “That’s where I got the idea of doing big, honking cookies.”
