Lethbridge Cookie Places
Cookie Crimes Ice Creamery
Once again making our list is Cookie Crimes, and by it's name you likely know why. But what is a Cook Crime you might ask? Well the owners of Cookie Crimes themselves say “An act or activity that is delicious in nature but carries caloric consequences. An innocent indulgence.” With their delicious house-made cookies (and ice cream of course), you’ll be singing the jailhouse blues in no time, because from time to time we're all a bit guilty of committing a cookie crime.
