Calling all cookie lovers! We’re on a special search to satisfy our sweet tooth: Who has the best cookies in the Charlotte area?

For our latest Readers’ Choice contest, we want to know which local bakery, restaurant, cafe or coffee shop has your favorite.

Fill out the poll below and let us know your favorite. If you’ve got more than one pick that should be in the running for the coveted title of best cookies in Charlotte, refresh the page and add another nomination. You can also email us at charlottefive@charlottefive.com.

After all nominations are collected, we’ll compile your recommendations and put them to a vote.
