The Top 10 Cookie Makers in St. Louis
The Best Places to Get Your Holiday Cookie Fix in St. Louis
St. Louis, MO/December 10, 2017 (STL.News) – For a lot of us, the holiday season wouldn’t be complete without cookies. From gingerbread and shortbread to chocolate chunk and decorated sugar cookies, the tradition of celebrating the holidays with cookies dates back hundreds of years. We spend time baking them, serve them at parties, and even leave a plate for Santa. Cookies are a traditional part of this season of celebration. But sometimes, you just can’t bake your own. So, we wanted to let you know where to go to get the best cookies in St. Louis. To find the top 10 cookie makers in town, we checked the customer reviews and found the ones St. Louis diners rated as the very best. Not surprisingly, this Top 10 list is a veritable who’s who of St. Louis’ best bakeries.
Topping our list is St. Louis’ new favorite, Nathaniel Reid Bakery. Nathaniel Reid has won praise and prizes for his stunningly beautiful cakes, desserts, and French pastries. He’s also widely celebrated for his expertise at creating the special French cookies known as macarons.
