Palmers Wins the Library's Cookie-Taste Off

Our first cookie taste-off for teens took place at the Library last Thursday. Teens tried chocolate-chip cookies from four stores in Darien and Norwalk and voted the chocolate chip cookies from Palmers best chewy, best chips, and most like homemade. Cookies from Shaws won best crispy. Stew Leonards came in a close second in most categories.
