"Iverson Cookies/The Great Cookie has been a DC area staple for decades. It 's been a while since I 've been here, but it felt like a review is long overdue. So I took it upon myself to stop by get some cookies for myself and my parents before I departed for IL a few weeks ago.The ever so popular cookie flavor there is the prized Snickerdoodle cookies. So, of course, I took it upon myself to order a few. I ordered about 8 cookies for $5 or $10 (apparently, they do not allow ordering by the half dozen nor dozen, but by the eights. Such as 8, 16, etc .I was a bit judgy hesitant because the cookies were almost razor thin, and I was used to thicker, regular sized cookies. But as soon as I took a bite, I was shook haha ?? They were so moist, soft, and delightful. Crunchy exterior but the right amount of crunch that it doesn 't take away from the softness/moisture. The right amount of sugar and cinnamon.I think what makes this different from other Snickerdoodle cookies is perhaps the thinness and (I THINK, I could be wrong the possible shortening base.They were so good, I decided not to be selfish and go back in to order my parents some to try ???I will say since it 's been a while since I 've been to Iverson Cookies, I got a bit lost because I could not find an entrance point (I 'll be honest: I forgot haha ? . The entrance point is between Mama Lucia and Chipotle. If you have bad eye vision like me, you 'll have to walk up closer to notice.At the physical establishment, it 's listed as The Great Cookie. On Google Maps, it 's listed as Iverson Cookies.There 's plenty of parking. The best way to get there is to drive or Uber. I am unsure if one can Metro there.Highly recommend whether you 're a DC area native, transplant, or just visiting"
