Why, oh why, don’t restaurants offer a bite of something light on their list of sweets? I’m not talking about diet food. Something rich and satisfying, but in a petite portion. I’d pay a premium for a couple bits of bliss.This macaroon from Claudio Corallo Chocolates is a perfect example of how a meal should end. It’s an intense blast of chocolaty greatness with more luxe chocolate sandwiched between the elegant cookies. It’s what a Whoopie Pie aspires to be. Let’s take a moment between bites to swoon. Oh. Damn. So. Good.There’s a reason these cookies are so awesome, and his name is Neil Robertson, the uber-talented pastry chef at Mistral Kitchen. He makes the macaroons with the exceptional Claudio Corallo Chocolates for the tiny retail shop near Whole Foods on Westlake. These dreamy treats are $4, which is steep for a cookie. But these are no mere cookies. They’re dessert, as perfect as any pastry in this city.
