Ever dream of eating Robert Pattinson's head? Look no further than Eleni's New York bakery.

 

Eleni's cookies are nice to look at. They're packaged well— chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, ginger snappy, and choco-toffee arrive in their own cylindrical containers within a geometric cardboard box. Other treats, like the seasonal gingerbread cookies are sugary works of art. Orange, red and yellow sprinkles cling to leaf shapes in the "Fall Foliage" gift box.

 

But the themed cookies don't end there. Easter, Halloween, and Thanksgiving cookies are easily overshadowed by the more unique sets of Fashion cookies (Lacoste t-shirt cookies) and Oscar Season cookies (cartoon versions of Micky Rourke and Brad Pitt heads). It's also possible to design your own cookies for business, weddings, and party favors.   

 

The crunchy, uniformly shaped cookies taste almost as good as they look. The flavors stay true to traditional varieties, though we noticed a stronger hint of cinnamon in the oatmeal-raisin. They can be ordered by occasion, recipient, and price. Visit one of the store's two locations— in the Chelsea Market and the Upper East Side— or place your order online.
