Next door to Mr. Noodle is "the Cookie Place". One of my good friends from work told me about "the Cookie Place" long before I started driving up to Westwood twice a week.
Diddy Riese Cookies is incredible. For a dollar you can score yourself an ice cream sandwich, made with two of their delicious cookies (you can even use two different cookie varieties!) flanking a scoop of Dreyer's ice cream (if you're bored with vanilla, they have lots of other flavors!). For a buck-twenty-five you can get three cookies to take with you! A dozen costs $3.75. Possibly the cheapest place to get your sugar fix. They also have pretty tins if you want to give them as a gift.
The internet rumor is that Diddy Riese uses lard in their cookies, but it's really a blend of butter and margarine.
Diddy Riese is possibly the closest you can get to homemade if you live far from home. So delicious . . . not to mention fattening. Parking is wretched, so either go with someone and have the passenger hop out of the car to get cookies while the driver circles the block, or go after dinner at Mr. Noodle or BJ's, both of which are close by. If you're a student at UCLA, park on campus in the Medical Plaza Parking (Gayley Ave) and walk over. I think there are a couple parking lots near by as well.
