More than 400 people voted to determine who has the best cookies in metro Atlanta. We gave readers seven choices, and the winning batch earned 31% of all votes.

In third place: Ali’s Cookies in Cobb County.

The second place finisher wasn’t too far behind. With 20% of the votes, Insomnia Cookies in the city is beloved for late-night cookie cravings.

But they were no match for the 2019 winner.

Known for bringing fresh-from-the-oven bundles of delicious joy to cookie lovers everywhere, it’s no surprise Tiff’s Treats earned the coveted No. 1 spot last year, too.
