Curly's Vegetarian Lunch: Chocolate-Chip Cookies Made To Order

Have you ever wanted to bake a batch of chocolate-chip cookies, but you couldn't stop yourself from eating all the dough? Or maybe you knew you were going to eat all the dough anyway, so you didn't even let yourself get as far as mixing the ingredients together. If you're not a raw dough fan, maybe you stopped yourself from making the cookies because you worried you'd eat them all.

Well, here's your perfect solution. The next time you have a craving for freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, but you just can't bring yourself to prepare them, go over to Curly's Vegetarian Lunch in the East Village. Curly's will bake you a minibatch of three cookies, so you don't have to feel guilty, and what's even better, you'll be served a small bowl of cookie dough while you're waiting for the finished product. (Vegans rejoice: if you don't want your cookie made with butter and eggs, just tell the server, and Curly's will happily make you a vegan cookie served with vanilla soy ice cream.)
