With so many cookies to order online, it’s hard to navigate the menu of doughy delights that can be delivered straight to your doorstep. Crunchy or soft, big and chunky or small and chewy, all American or a bit British in flavour – knowing what type of cookie gets you excited is half the work. This guide helps you decide which online cookie company is best for you…
American cookies: Dollies Cookies
Big and chunky, balancing a crunchy exterior with a buttery-soft inside, Dollies Cookies is your go-to for American-style cookies – baked just like Levain or Chip in New York. Each cookie is doughy and dotting with the exact right amount of chocolate chips, nuts or dried fruits, joined by a selection of highly extravagant, all American flavours such as s’mores (chocolate with marshmallow fluff), Salt Bae (popcorn and pretzels) and chocolate chip funfetti (best of both worlds).
Brookies: Buzzy Bee Bakery
Wanting the gooey, soft, richness of a brownie but with the buttery, brown sugar flavour of a cookie, Buzzy Bee Bakery ticks both boxes with brookies. The combination is hard to beat, with a centre that becomes even softer with fillings such as caramel, Nutella or creamy white chocolate – or better yet, a mix of them all. Everything oozes out, melts in your mouth and takes you straight to dessert-hybrid heaven.
Caked-up cookies: Sugar High Desserts
Sugar High Desserts is the creator of caked up cookies, combining cake, cookie and California in one immensely round treat. Whether completely coated in chocolate or topped with crushed biscuits and colourful stars, they all come with an iconic, risen dome in the middle where cake pops provide a soft, truffle-like, chewy contrast to the cookie’s crunchy surroundings. Birthday cake, red velvet and cake batter, these proudly American cake pops are the best – and most addictive part – of Sugar High’s cookies.
Deep dish cookies: Elle’s Bakery
Elle’s Bakery delivers deep dish cookies that should be approached as a sit-down meal, best when warmed up and served on a plate with cutlery to conquer. Made in skillets or small pie dishes, deep dish cookies are baked high and big enough to hold a variety of treats – both on top and inside. Think countless Daim bars pieces on incredibly thick, crunchy dough, filled with lashings of salted caramel and drizzled in white chocolate – add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent, deep-dish experience.
Cookies in creative flavours: Kahuna Cookie Co
Using fruits and spices as well as chocolate chips, Kahuna Cookie Co does the biggest selection of flavours that are full of zest and inventive combinations. Lemon oatmeal with candied ginger, marshmallow and ginger crumb (Ginger Spice), cherry blobs and coconut (Cherry Ripe), or a mix of pineapple, mango and banana (Hawaiian), these tropical flavours are baked into mountain-sized cookies that are soft all the way through – perfect if you secretly prefer eating raw cookie dough than the ready-baked kind.
Cookie cups: Jo’s Cake Co
Small and chewy, Jo’s Cake Co specializes in cookie cups that are perfect for satisfying your cookie cravings without feeling overwhelmingly full afterwards. The line-up changes with every restock on Thursday, when Jo accepts orders for a box of bite-sized cookies in four different flavours: salted caramel with pretzel (the perfect balance of sweet and salty), triple chocolate (moist like a brownie yet still chewy like a cookie), rainbow surprise (sprinkles, white chocolate and a pink cake batter-style filling) or Oreo, you can even vote which flavour should be in the next box.
