The shop is called Janie's Life Changing Baked Goods, and she means that literally. In her early 20s, Janie Deegan was homeless, an active drug addict and alcoholic, in and out rehab, with no hope and no thought of a future.

The "Two Chip Chocolate Chip Cookie" debuts this week at the new NoHo location.

The new Upper East Side location will also offer the bakery's full menu of giant cookies, breads, scones, cakes, brioche, and pizzas.

An completely updated look at the best cookies in the city.

The chain sells colorful macaron in flavors lemon poppy, red velvet, peanut butter and Nutella.

The new cafe is as big as the monstrous cookies it sells.

From Black and Whites on the Upper East Side to Alfajores in Jackson Heights to S'Mores in the West Village, these are the ones that are ALWAYS worth the calories.

There are classic poppy, apricot and prune flavors, with some bakeries even offering savory cookies as well.

They're the best cookie, and these are the best of the best.

Besides salted brownies, of course.
