As a native Baltimorean, I was raised on Bergers cookies. They are strictly a local treat--my Washington D.C college niece can't get them there, so we have to mail them to her regularly, or stock up when she visits home--needless to say, when the cookie box arrives, she is the most popular girl in her dorm! Just for authenticity, the usual Berger is approx. 2 inches across. Also, they are iced on the bottom (flat) side, and the cookie is actually scooped through the icing to pick up a nice thick layer that often is wider than the cookie. Then you get all that fudge to nibble off the edges before you get to the cookie. Bergers and a big glass of ice-cold milk---Heaven!
