Eat This: The Maine Event at Sweet Art

All great things start from small beginnings, and The Maine Event cookie at Sweet Art is no exception. It began years ago in Reine Bayoc's home kitchen when she made chocolate chip cookies for her brother, Jermaine. So smitten was he with the sweet treat that he sold it at his office until Bayoc finally opened her storefront in South City. That perfect little cookie, named for Bayoc’s big bro, is flecked with sea salt and holds the rich flavors of high-quality butter and fine Belgian chocolate. But the main event is a piece of luscious Callebaut chocolate set in the middle of each cookie that keeps the texture gooey and chewy long after it’s pulled from the oven.
