You’ve probably waited in line for a great cookie. Maybe even paid way too much. But when did a simple treat turn into a full-blown cultural obsession? And what does that say about us?
In this episode, we meet Ben Mims—LA Times columnist, cookbook author, and cookie whisperer—to find out how cookies went from comfort food to social media phenomenon. From ancient Persia to bakery drops that sell out in minutes, Ben walks us through the history, nostalgia, and science behind the world’s most beloved baked good.
We’ll taste what he calls the best cookie in Los Angeles (maybe even the country?), reflect on the ones our grandmothers made, and ask the deeper question: can a cookie still have soul?
