Melt mounds of sugary dough into perfect pocket-sized flat treats, or break into the sweetly swooped frosting lids of a dozen lovely little cup-loafs with this Groupon: $10 for a dozen organic cupcakes or cookies at Urban Cookies. Urban Cookies’ urban cookies were named Best Cookies in Phoenix in 2007 by the Phoenix New Times for their freshness, environmental consciousness (85% of the ingredients are organic), dislikelihood of becoming sentient, and extreme yumminess.

A dozen cookies or cupcakes solve many of the recent problems associated with cookies and cupcakes, including scarcity, rareness, and severe shortage. Urban Cookies’ cookie menu offers four flavors of organic delights:

• Urban Cookie: Layers of 60% dark chocolate from Peru, rolled oats, toasted walnuts, and gourmet coconut bits
• Simple Urban: Layers of 37% milk chocolate sandwiched in a home of dark molasses brown sugar, wholesome wheat flour and the intensity of pure bourbon vanilla from Madagascar
• Urban Tropic: Combination of sweet coconut and chunks of dried tart pineapple
• Urban Trail: Nutty and crunchy goodness of almonds, sunflower seeds and brown rice crisps is combined with rolled oats and sweet raisins

Each cookie has a list of its organic contents, and full nutritional information is available. The cookies’ cupcake counterparts, OllieCakes, come in carrot, chocolate, and a seasonal flavor. Both cookies and cupcakes are baked with gourmet ingredients, such as organic European-style butter, pure bourbon-style vanilla, organic whole-wheat flour, local eggs, and 60% cacao chocolate. Plus, the store has bamboo flooring, fluorescent light bulbs, and low-emission paint. The cupcake and cookie craftsmen at Urban Cookies are friendly, and there’s a swanky patio for pleasant on-site gobbling.
