In a city where cookies require a knife and fork, Thin Cookies on Bleecker Street offers a much-needed change. This small, family-run, woman-owned bakery is taking a softer, subtler approach—literally. The cookies here are thin, chewy and unapologetically simple, clocking in at around 100 calories each. That means you can try a few without needing a nap after.
The West Village shop serves six flavors each month—three classics (chocolate chip, snickerdoodle and double chocolate) and three rotating picks that keep things fresh. No edible glitter, no cookie dough filling, no TikTok trend bait. Just really good cookies that hit the sweet spot between nostalgic and “wow, I don't feel guilty about eating another.” It’s the newest addition to the Thin Cookies family, and with a lineup that changes just enough to stay interesting, the only real challenge is deciding whether to get one of each or two of each. (Pro tip: two of each.)
Whether you're swinging by for a quick treat, stocking up for a walk through the Village or just need a low-key gift that doesn’t scream “I forgot,” Thin Cookies delivers. It's the kind of bakery that proves less really can be more—especially when more means sugar overload and a side of regret.
