There’s no gravity in space, so don’t worry about eating that extra cookie—you’ll just float. And with most of the colorful assortment of cookies at just $0.95 each, it’s easy to indulge. There are sables with a dollop of homemade raspberry jam and dusted with powdered sugar; slightly tart lemon pecan cookies; thin and buttery tuiles. The theme is French- and Italian-style cookies, meaning an emphasis on shortbread, which means an emphasis on butter. That’s a recipe for pure happiness.
