Many of us have a sweet tooth, and while some prefer candy, cake, or ice cream to fulfill that need, one of the best options is cookies. There is a variety to choose from, like chocolate chip, sugar, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, and much more. While some like to make cookies at home, there are those who prefer to go to a store and get some freshly made ones that may taste better than what you can make in your own kitchen. Northern Colorado has some great cookie store options, and one store recently opened a new location in Windsor, offering delicious treats to the area.

Mary's Mountain Cookies is not new to Northern Colorado, but it is new to Windsor, as a new store recently opened in the area, located at 1540 Main Street, Suite #236. You are forgiven if you didn't realize the new store is open, as it is tough to see from the main road, but if you pull into the shopping center, it is on the west side and easy to find. They are open from 10 AM to 9 PM all seven days of the week. They offer a variety of cookies, including ice cream-filled cookies, gourmet cookies, traditional ones, and cookie cakes as well. They are currently expanding and adding more locations not just in Colorado, but in other states as well.

Mary's Mountain Cookies has multiple stores located in Northern Colorado and throughout the state as well. There are two locations in Loveland, with one downtown and one in the Centerra area. They also have two locations in Fort Collins, one in Johnstown, one in Longmont, two in Steamboat Springs, one in Winter Park, and other towns as well in the state, with a total of 15 locations in Colorado by the end of the year. Currently, Mary's Mountain Cookies is in 11 states, and potentially continuing to expand in the future. While it may seem like a national franchise, each location is locally owned and family-operated. So when you visit a store, you are shopping and eating local.

Colorado's Picks For The Best Oreo Cookies

Visit your local Colorado grocery store and you'll find more varieties of Oreos than you can imagine. Since most of us can't afford to buy them all, which variety is your pick?

At last count Oreo cookie varieties include regular, Double Stuf, Mega Stuf, More Stuf, Thin, Mint, and a wide variety of other flavors. This, of course, is before you take into account Oreo ice cream cookies and cones, not to mention the infinite ways you can prepare an oreo (fried, truffle, etc.) When you celebrate National Oreo Cookie Day, what's your pick for the best of the best? I asked on Facebook, and here's what you had to say.

Colorado Girl Scout Cookies Ranked Worst to First

Just for fun I decided to do a Girl Scout cookie taste test - and ranked the cookies from worst to first. Keep in mind, when I say "worst" that in no way means they are bad. Not even slightly. Here is my assessment of the cookies with the rankings to follow of Grand Junction's Girl Scout Cookies - worst to first. My taste test doesn't include the new Raspberry Rally, and the prices listed below are based on 2022 prices.
