I’m not a butter cookie type of gal. Most of the time, I think they’re tolerable. But I was really impressed with this store’s cookies. First, the shop is simple and cookies are displayed very professionally. Second, the customer service was friendly and informative. She explained that a lot of custom orders were made and that the assortment of cookie designs could be found on their website/facebook. At the store, you can get cookies to eat and even get regular cookies (without designs). I picked up a day old $0.75 Pecan Noir cookie and it was deliciously chewy, like it was fresh. Their cookies are beautifully designed too – almost like they’re factory made but it is clear that each is hand-made since the customer service rep was in the middle of icing a cookie when she saw us come in. Naturally, I figured that such bright, perfect-looking cookies were probably horrendous tasting. No. They give out samples to people who come into the store so that you can taste what the cookies are like. The ratio of icing to cookie is perfect (a thin layer of icing) and more of the soft cookie. Neither the icing nor the cookie were too sweet. I loved it and I’m not even a butter cookie person. In most store-bought decorated cookies, the cookies are hard and tasteless and the icing is way too thick so that you break your teeth to bite through the cookie. No thanks. I’ll be coming to Sharp Cookie for my future decorated cookie needs.

The Girls Who Bake Next Door – Menu with Prices – 210 Iolani Ave #1, Honolulu

I know The Girls Who Bake Next Door have a food truck–and you can follow their schedule on Instagram–but I actually went to their store front. I was craving chocolate chip cookies, and since I passed by the store once before and knew where the Girls were, I dropped by one Friday morning. I didn’t check Instagram beforehand, so I was fortunate during my visit that they had their traditional chocolate chip cookies. If you’re looking for a specific flavor, be sure to check IG: they have a list of their flavors for the day. Anyway, since I was the only customer there, I could sort of take my time ordering. I didn’t want to take too long, though, because the team was busy preparing for a special order/event and it looked like they were busy. The entire store smelled so good! I bought four cookies (and ate them all the same day), but being in the store made me want to buy everything I saw! The cookie deal was a good one, though – four cookies for $5. Definitely would return and recommend them to others. I also would visit their food truck if they were close to me one day. Here’s what I got: “Chocolate Chip”: There’s nothing better than a warm, comforting chewy cookie that’s loaded with chocolate chips. I love how this cookie was thin and small, but it wasn’t crispy and overly crunchy. It also contained a good amount of chocolate chips. “Chocolate Chip Mac Nut”: Surprisingly, this ended up being my favorite of all the cookies I got … and it was surprising because I usually don’t go for the cookies with nuts. I tend to be simple when it comes to cookies. But I loved the texture and flavor this cookie brought. The mac nuts balanced the sweeter chocolate chips perfectly. The mac nuts also added some welcome crunch and texture without being overwhelming. “Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip”: This was the only cookie that made it home for my family to try, but they liked the different flavors. The oatmeal cookie texture made this cookie a little grittier, and it didn’t taste as sweet as the others because it had coconut as well as chocolate. “Chocolate and Peanut Butter Chip”: I was interested to see how the blend between peanut butter and chocolate would work out. The peanut butter flavor wasn’t as intense/strong as I had hoped, but this cookie was still delicious. It was still nice to get a hint of peanut butter in there. “Peanut Butter Toffee”: This cookie wasn’t available during my particular visit, but I do want to try it one day because I love toffee. It’ll be interesting to see how it melds with the peanut butter, but I cannot wait to try it.

Donna’s Gourmet Cookies – Menu with Prices – 10796 Montgomery Rd, Cincinnati

You know how you sometimes have a great, 5-star experience with a business but then you (unfortunately) have to come back and downgrade your previous rave review due to a disappointing experience[s]? And how it’s the principle of the matter, you just can’t have your now-inaccurate perfect score undermining your integrity (or credibility) to other consumers? None of the above is why I’m refreshing my 5-star review for Donna’s. I LOVE DONNA’S GOURMET COOKIES, so far they are my favorite cookies that I have had in my life and one of my favorite desserts/cheat treats. Nothing makes me act like a giddy sugar-cracked-out preschooler like a box of Donna’s huge, soft, buttery “cats-head” cookies, loaded with chocolate chips or crackled with sugary-cinnamon snickerdoodle goodness. I love many kinds of cookies, they are truly my favorite dessert (with cinnamon rolls and brownies-without-nuts coming in CLOSE 2nd place). Homemade cookies, Great American cookie cake, Busken tea cookies, Panera Cookies, Chick-Fil-A Cookies, the marshmallow cornflake cookie from Maplewood (!) – I love them! But Donna’s has my heart. My new favorites are Donna’s fancy decorated sugar cutout cookies with royal icing. These specialty cookies are SO beautiful, exquisitely detailed, THEY ACTUALLY TASTE DELICIOUS (you know what I mean, beautifully decorated pastry usually tastes awful!). And, they are affordable! I have ordered these cookies for Christmas, NYE and now Mardi Gras (and omg the Valentine’s Day Cookies that I saw today were soooo cute!). I cannot wait to have a reason to order some specialty cookies for one of my kid’s athletic events.

Cathy’s Cookie Kitchen – Menu with Prices – 266 W Jefferson St, Syracuse

Cathy’s Cookies are deliciously sweet! I had the pleasure of trying them for the first time at a Yelp event. I had the chocolate chip chunk cookie and thought it was perfectly chewy. It was decorated with frosting on top which made it ultra pretty but definitely put it over the top in terms of sweetness and sugar. I imagine the cookie alone is great, especially paired with some milk to cut the sweetness. I liked the texture of the cookie and how it wasn’t too crumbly. I also liked the thickness and size of the cookie. Their store also sells ice cream, lemonades, slushees, muffin cookies and edible cookie dough. They have a cookie club for $45 a month for those true cookie monsters. You get 4 deliveries that includes a bunch of cookies and discounts. This would be great for a work office, school or home with folks who aren’t on a wedding diet like myself.

The Cookie Plug – Menu with Prices – 2915 Van Buren Boulevard STE J1, Riverside

Giant Cookies! Good Taste. This cookie place was consistently popping up on my postmates account and was craving something sweet, so I thought I would give them a try. It was a little more on the pricey side when I was reviewing their menu but ordered the cookies anyway. I got the half sack that came with 7 cookies for $15 and got 2 snooperdoodle, purple velvet, 2 OG chocolate chip, white macadamia, and pumpkin. When the cookies arrived via postmates, the cookies were HUGE and packaged in a ziplock with their logo (didn’t really care for the packaging). The cookies are about an inch thick with a diameter of a lunchables pizza, maybe even bigger (only way I can think of how to explain the size right now.) Just based on size, the price is MORE than fair!! I told my husband the price, and he was in disbelief due to the cookie’s sizes! Snooperdoodle– (snickerdoodle) the cookies are moist with crisp edges, but the cookie itself is thick. I prefer snickerdoodle cookies to be a little more on the thin side because otherwise it reminds me of a sweet bread. Overall, taste was pretty good. I think I expected something more like Mrs. Fields consistency but was not similar due to its thickness. Purple velvet–good taste and good texture throughout the cookie. It’s an interesting cookie. OG chocolate chip–these do not disappoint!!! Great dough and lots of chocolate chips! Perfect texture. Warmed it up a bit in the microwave and WOW! My favorite cookie of them all. I wish I could customize the cookie for a little less chocolate chips just because I enjoyed their dough so much. White macadamia–great cookie! Tastes true to the macadamia cookies. Texture is on point. No complaints Pumpkin–almost like a pumpkin loaf in cookie form. Pumpkin isn’t too overpowering. Moist with crisp edges. Great cookies. Definitely recommend.

Crumbles Cookies – Menu with Prices – 1191 Magnolia Ave Suite C, Corona

This place honestly has the best cookies around, 100%. The cookies are all baked fresh every day and they even have “day old” cookies on sale for cheaper (which are still good). The cookies are on the pricier side, but they’re definitely worth it. Pretty much every cookie I’ve had has been just a great flavor and texture with just the right amount of sweetness. And the cookies are relatively large. They do switch up a couple options on the menu, so while they definitely have their main staples, they do have some seasonal items that aren’t around forever. I’ve had a Lavender Oatmeal cookie from them that I loved but haven’t seen since. Pretty much every cookie is great, although I will say I appreciate all the different oatmeal cookie options without raisins. I can confidently say I do love oatmeal cookies now. Everyone who works here is also just as sweet as their baked goods. You’ll always get good customer service coming here. I would for sure recommend coming here for your cookie needs.

Deborah’s Specialty Cakes Menu with Prices 197 Holly Hills Ct, Athens

Deborah was very nice and easts enough to work with. The cake I got had a light beige look to it which I did not like. The icing, when at room temperature was very nice, not to sweet, but the cake itself was way to dense and heavy. The top vanilla layer was over cooked and the bottom chocolate layer was good tasting but again not airy/ light at all. The cake was a 10 inch square and supper heavy. It was big, but just too dense. People are little less than half, had to toss the rest because hen next day it was just dry. Only the icing would have been worth saving. Such a shame as I had spent quite a bit and paid in full. It was costly, just very disappointed. Never again, Publix next time…

King Cookie Ocala – Menu with Prices – 3313 NE Jacksonville Rd, Ocala

My daughter requested a my little pony cookie cake for her 4th birthday party. So I decided to use king cookie after see some friend use this place on Facebook and man was I impressed with the result ! I have googled some cookie cake designs and realized how hard it is to do a pony in icing and man did he hit it out of the park with her cake ! Not only did the cake look awesome I received soo many compliments on how delicious it was and after the party only had a small piece left . It was gone ! We bought a large rectangle cookie cake that was half snickerdoodle and half chocolate chip . I would definitely recommend this bakery to anyone looking for a custom cookie cake for their event ! Thank you king cookie for making my daughters 4th birthday so great ! We will be back for sure !!!

Kitchen Sink Bakery – Menu with Prices – 129 S 27th St, Lincoln

Kitchen Sink Cookie Company, I’m pretty convinced, will be the ones to set a cookie revolution in motion. The type of revolution that has happened with the cupcake. These cookies are not your average cookies. These are traditional flavors given a creative and innovate twist. With cookie flavors like “Coffee and Donuts” (tasting just like their namesake), “Beam Me Up Scotchy!” (oatmeal butterscotch cookies topped with peanut butter buttercream, salted caramel and 3 pretzel twists), “The Dubliner” (made with Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stout, irish cream buttercream, and malt crumbs), and giving Little Debbie a run for her money with “Oatmeal Pie” (spiced oatmeal cookies sandwiched with salted butter cream), you really just gotta try these to understand their amazingness. It’s seriously hard for me to decide which has been my favorite flavor. Those flavors up there are just a small sampling of what they are churning out, so check their facebook page often to find out what’s in the oven, https://www.facebook.com/kitchensinkcookies . They often frequent the farmer’s markets in town, and sell the cookies regularly at The Pilgrimer downtown. Last but not least, you can get ice cream cookie sandwiches at Ivanna Cone made with Kitchen Sink Cookies…I mean, how can a dessert get much better than that?! I know they do have some regular cookie pick up hours at their kitchen address as well. Follow them on facebook to keep up with all those deets. I don’t even know how to say how much I love these cookies. They are unique and creative but still have a touch of familiarity. Just do yourself a favor and get out there and try these cookies. You’ll be back at The Kitchen Sink for more as soon as you take one bite.

Campitelli Cookies Menu with Prices 5557 E Santa Ana Canyon Rd # 102, Anaheim

Absolutely obsessed with these cookies. They are big, thick, and chewy. Nice and sturdy on the outside with that chunky brownie-like texture on the inside. I always grab the double chocolate cookies or the a box of “Misfits”: These are cookies that did not come out looking nice but they taste the same as any other cookie from that batch. Each box is an assortment of these misfit cookies and they are inexpensive to satisfy that sweet tooth. They also have a variety of options for packaging and how many you want to purchase. Obviously the more you buy the cost per cookie decreases. I first tried Campitelli’s because a neighbor dropped some off as a welcome gift when we first moved into the neighborhood and I’ve been coming ever since! Located by the vet, Dominos and Asian Fusion Cuisine. There is also the postal office across the street. Make sure you keep a look out while your driving or you might miss it. They have tables outside with umbrellas open when it’s nice out so you can bring your dog or enjoy a sandwich outdoors. Overall best cookie spot in Anaheim Hills area I’m so glad I live 5 minutes away from here. Whenever I get a craving for a LEGIT cookie (not the boxed ones you can buy at Walmart… some real homemade tasting gourmet-esque cookies) this is where I go

The DW Cookie Company – Menu with Prices – 18962 Soledad Canyon Rd, Santa Clarita

How do you make the best cookies? Drive down Soledad to DW Cookie Co! I have heard about this place for years and haven’t made it there, until today. I am so glad I did. I was greeted with a warm welcome by DW and the store is very welcoming to customers as well. There are a couple of table and chairs to sit and enjoy his delicious creations on site. I didn’t stay and eat there but will probably on another visit. I picked up two homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches for my boys. You can pick the cookie and ice cream flavor of your choice. I took the basics, chocolate chip and vanilla ice cream. There was nothing basic about the taste. My boys devoured them in minutes and asked if there were any more! I also got a half dozen assorted cookies cookies, two of the Liz cookies (choc chip and toffee), two of the white choc and cranberry cookies, two of the toffee, pecan, and another ingredient (I forgot) cookies and DW threw in an extra chocolate chip. Got to my car and couldn’t wait to get home to try one. Ate the toffee cookie in the car. Buttery, crisp, chewy and soft at the same time. So delicious it melted in my mouth. Sweet but not too sweet and just perfect. Can’t wait to try all the other flavors, but I guess I should share. Looking forward to going back. Great cookies and excellent/ amazing service and atmosphere. Thank you DW for giving us such a great spot to treat ourselves!!

Kelli’s Gourmet Cookies – Menu with Prices – 605 Douglas Blvd, Roseville

Trust those who Yelp regularly… Undoubtedly the best cookies out there. I’ve been buying cookies from Kelli’s Cookies for close to 10 years. They’ve changed locations just once from Fulton Avenue in Sacramento to Douglas Boulevard in Roseville, and I would follow them to New York if I had to. Coincidentally, I moved to San Diego, but still get cookies delivered, or pick them up when I’m in town. My absolute favorite is the Breakfast Cookie, because of the quality ingredients used. beyond that, I have 7 favorites tied for second place. I’ve come to know several employees, and they are always so exceptionally respectful to me as a customer, and of others I’ve seen in the store. Now that they are a non-profit business, I think even more highly of Kelli and her team. BREAKFAST COOKIE Highly Recommended

Village Bakery – Menu with Prices – 111 E 8th St, Tyler

Go to this place for one important reason. The cakes, pies, cookies and Pastries taste like your grandmother made them. Yes, their business model is very old-fashioned–like only excepting cash or checks and so on. Their workers are better at baking cookies than customer service. However, I can except a few quirky old-fashioned things for the best buttercream icing I’ve ever tasted. Their Italian cream cake is out of this world. My son loves their Gingerbread men cookies. I highly recommend letting them decorate with just regular butter cream icing on specialty cakes. If you want something particular printed, then they have to use the same machine as everyone else. If you want to use a credit card, debit card, or your Apple wallet there are many other bakeries in town for you. In my view, Village is worth going by the ATM to get cash. I can accept a few out of date business practices if it means their baked good stay old fashioned and excellent. Just try taking one of their cakes to a Tyler event. When your guests see the box with a Village sticker they will say “Village Bakery–what a wonderful treat.”
