OCEAN COUNTY, NJ — National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day falls on Aug. 4, and there's nothing better than biting into one of these warm, melty delights.

Whether you prefer a crispy cookie or something chewier, Ocean County is packed with delicious bakeries that serve these American classics.

Here's where you can find some of the best.

Lala's Cookies

283 Mantoloking Road, Brick

Voted the best cookie shop in Ocean County, Lala's Cookies offers classic chocolate chip cookies and tons of riffs on it, including different nuts, s'mores, various candies and even bacon. You've definitely never seen chocolate chip cookies like this before.

Emery's Farm

346 Long Swamp Road, New Egypt

Not only is Emery's the premiere place to go to pick blueberries in the summer, wander a corn maze in the fall and see the cute farm animals, the farm market there is incredible. Their massive cookies cannot be beat.

JG Desserts

They're well-known for their custom cakes, but the ever-changing menu of pastries is a hit. And the chocolate chip cookies, of course, are a favorite.

Crumbl Cookies

56 Brick Plaza, Brick

This super trendy cookie shop finally came to Ocean County this year. While it's best known for its massive cookies that come in different flavors that change each week, Crumbl's chocolate cookie is a classic.

Crazy Cow Cookie Company

You can catch this small bakery weekly at the Barnegat Farmers Market as they don't have a physical location. But it's worth seeking them out because their cookies are some of the very best.
