"Big Fat Cookie takes matzo toffee and makes it extra: each seven-inch square is covered with a layer of chocolate and then sprinkled with M&Ms, sprinkles, coconut, almond toffee, peanut butter, and puppy chow, among other things. It could be the best thing that ever happened to matzo." - aimee.levitt

MY DELIVERY WAS FAST AND EFFICIENT. UNFORTUNATELY I WASNT A FAN OF THE COOKIES. I PURCHASED TWO BOXES OF FOUR CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES. THEY ARE SOFT MOIST AND UNFREEZE VERY QUICKLY. THE TASTES OF THE COOKIE ITSELF WAS GLUTEN FREE LIKE. I AM NOT A FAN OF GLUTEN FREE AT ALL THE TASTES IS RATHER BLAND NO FLAVOR LIKE SOMETHING IS MISSING. YEA $85.00 WAS WASTED BUYING THESE COOKIES SO THEY ENDED UP IN THE GARBAGE SAD TO SAY. TWO 🌟 ⭐️ FOR THE SERVICE BECAUSE I RECEIVED MY DELIVERY WITHIN A DAY.

Best cookies I’ve ever had! I ordered from out of state and they were here asap. Great customer service and delicious cookies!

Let me just say.. I never knew a cookie place could do this to me. I ordered the Party {harder or not at all} and the 'nother nuckin' Futz {pb lovers unite} cookies and they are so delicious! I was very ecstatic to receive these promising cookies and ate one that was baked (per instruction) on camera in front of my mother, at first bite I was like.. "Oh yeah mom, I'm gonna have a problem" to which she laughed so haaarrrd. I literally devoured that thing in less than 4 minutes. Now she is buying them and so is another other relative of mine. I ate one from the fridge just now and it tasted perfectly fine??? Like bro these cookies are soooo hecking good!! Among other things, there was an issue I made on my delivery address and bigfatcookie kindly assisted me through it all :D they are very sweet and loving people. I am 𝘴𝘰 thrilled I came across a worthy dessert shop that's professional, hospitable and good at what they do. There is a little something for everybody.

I can’t really rate the quality of the cookies since I have never been able to actually try one. They look delicious though! Apparently if you try to order at the window you can’t get a cookie after 3pm (an hour before close). The staff said they start packing everything up and putting it back in the freezer at 3 since they have a hard close at 4. I wish I had known this before.

Big Fat Cookie is amazing! Not only are the cookies delicious but the people who work there are so kind. I needed cookies delivered as a gift to some folks and wanted a hand written note. I reached out to their team and they helped me achieve exactly what I wanted. I love their product so much!

Nothing beats a Big.Fat.Cookie, with their melty insides, crispy outsides, and super creative flavors. I love ordering right from the window (such a cute set-up!) and the website makes it easy to send cookies to friends around the country. These are my go-to gift for everything from engagements to birthdays. Who doesn't love some big, fat sweetness in their life?! Plus, these cookies stay perfect for MONTHS (literally!!) if you freeze them. Just take them out of the freezer, pop them in the oven, and you'll have a gooey, delectable dessert that'll taste like it was just baked. Big.Fat.Cookie is a must-stop in Chicago!!!!

I have been following Big Fat Cookie for a couple years and have been dreaming of being able to order from them. My husband was skeptical at first about ordering cookies from so far away, but that quickly changed when we received our order. They were incredible! I love a softer cookie and they were the perfect texture. I also had so much fun with their creativity. A huge bonus was buying from a company that was raising money for relief in Ukraine!

I recently learned about Big Fat Cookie online and was drawn to support them... I ordered a four pack of cookies and had them in my hands (and belly) within a few days. The four pack that I ordered included an oatmeal raisin cookie, a quadruple chocolate chip cookie, a classic chocolate chip cookie, and a 50/50, which is a 50/50 mixture of classic chocolate chip and quadruple chocolate, for the indecisive in all of us. I ate this entire cookie all by myself and it was sooooo good! The cookies come wrapped individually with colorful stickers and include the ingredients and reheating instructions too. (They recommend warming room temperature cookies @350 degrees 5-8 minutes for a melty chocolate inside, crispy outside). There are tons of other options for purchase on the website that look IG worthy and beautiful but I'm sure taste amazing too. Some that caught my eye for my next order are the following: -A Pack For Peace: let there be light, which is a special 4 pack using the colors of the beautiful blue & white Israeli flag. I just now see that the profits from 'Let there be light' will be donated to Magen David Adom Israel's national EMS/ambulance service and to United Hatzalah which provides rapid medical treatment. Love this and the cookies included sound and look incredible too... especially this one: -Brown butter cookie base+ cinnamon swirl, meringue glaze, covered with blue and white sugar sprinkles -Proud & Groovy rainbow edition -Good Humor edition -Smores -Black n' White but better This local biz is women owned and has a "born and baked" in Chicago. I definitely recommend checking them out!

The BEST cookie in Chicago! Like Levain Bakery in NYC, Big Fat Cookie has massive, scone-like cookies with ideal texture and taste. The flavors and presentation are always fun. The cookies are pricey, but they're one of a kind!

Well-baked, perfectly moist, and just the right amount of sweetness. The lady was so kind and gave me a couple cookies extra to bring to my former co-workers in Wausau, WI

Wow my favorite cookies in the city!!! Got the s'mores, pb & triple, puppy chow, and 50:50 and I can't pick a favorite! All were delicious and flavorful! Cannot wait to visit again and try some of the other flavors.

I ordered the Good Humor 4 pack. They came packaged with an ice pack and wrapped in an insulated bag which was a huge plus with the 100+ degree days in LV and in perfect condition. The packaging itself was so pretty, you can tell they take care and pride in it. I wish I had taken pictures of it and the cookies! Now onto the cookies. Absolutely delicious. I love all things Strawberry Shortcake Crunch and there cookie nailed it. Just the perfect amount of sweetness and all the flavors were balanced well. Same with the Chocolate Eclair. The Toasted Almond was good. I enjoyed the cookie, icing and crumble topping, I'm not a big Carmel fan as it was filled with it but it was good. The Oreo Chocolate Chip was my least favorite, just not an Oreo Cookies and Cream lover. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that you can not pick and choose your flavors. They have a variety of sets of 4 cookies. I would have liked to have been able to order just the Strawberry Shortcake and the Chocolate Eclair and not spens $ on cookies I don't like or want.

Received a box of your cookies as a gift! These are the absolute best of the best ! We will only be ordering your cookies ( live in nyc) and sending them as gifts as well. We SUPPORT YOU!

very good cookies, got the s'more and the chocolate chip... s'more was def the one I preferred as it has a more pronounced and nuanced flavor profile. cc was good also but flavors were milder and it wasn't very rich or buttery when it came to the actual cookie dough.

Courtney L.

Yelp
I ordered from their window at the the walk up location. It is open Fridays and Saturdays. All of the cookies I picked have been excellent. The downfall of the widow is they don't have all options available that you find online. There are a lot of cookies I want to try on their site but they come in pre selected mixes 4 packs. All the flavors in the pack don't appeal to me so I was hoping to get them individually. That said, I found plenty at the window so wanted. They are large, soft gooey and pretty sweet(but not overly sweet).

Emily H.

Yelp
really good cookie and they are huge! heat them up per instruction, and you will get like a lava cake type of cookie with the chocolate melting inside i really liked the 50/50 one as well as the PB with Jam one, a bit on the sweet side though

We love Big.Fat.Cookie! We have gotten them from Foxtrot and Doms. The cookies are dense and soft. I love how they are meant to be reheated but also frozen. Our family of four can split 1 cookie often times because they are so dense and amazing. We recently placed an online order for the delicious Hamantashen IYKYK which profits went to the World Central Kitchen and Polish Humanitarian Action. The cookies were not only the delicious but also for a great cause. Highly recommend these cookies!

I picked up a new hobby during the pandemic, which was trying cookies from different bakers all over the country. I came across Big.Fat.Cookie from a blogger who raved about them. I checked out Big.Fat.Cookie's website and Instagram and just couldn't help myself. Buying the cookies was a no-brainer... but of which bundle though? That was a tough question. I figured that I couldn't have gone wrong with any of 4-pack favor themes, but I went for the Breakfast Club because of its uniqueness. I ordered the cookies on a Sunday evening, and they arrived on Wednesday the same week. The cookies came in great condition. I was highly impressed by the secure packaging and presentation of the cookies. The Breakfast One cookie consisted of a cookie with Fruity Pebbles, one with Cinnamon Toast Crunch, a third with a drizzle of icing and a fourth that was chocolate with marshmallows. I found the dough of each cookie to be dense, but this wasn't a bad thing at all since the cookies were not dry. I sampled 3 of the 4 in room temperature but had the coffee cake toasted. The chocolate with marshmallows was called "Hot Chocolate." The marshmallow fluff center was a pleasant surprise. The dough was loaded with chocolate chunks, which was heavenly for me. I appreciated that the mini marshmallows on top didn't dry out. They were moist and soft. This cookie was my favorite of the 4, and admittedly I ate it in one sitting. Probably not the greatest idea taking a hit of 6oz cookie straight to the dome, but it was delicious. This was a meal all in itself. The Cinnamon Toast Crunch cookie was my second favorite. The best part was the nutella filling inside. This was a favorite among my family and didn't make it past 30 min of opening the box. The cookie with the glaze resembled Coffee Cake. I found it to be the least sweet compared to the other 3, which made for a nice change of pace. Definitely would recommend having this with a good ol' cup of Joe. I toasted it in the morning and had it for breakfast. You won't miss your standard coffee cake one bit! The Fruity Pebbles was my least favorite simply, because I'm not that big a fan of Fruity Pebbles cereal. This one happened to taste the most sweet to me, so it was a sweet overload for me. If you love sugar cookies, which I don't, this would be a creative alternative.

Was definitely excited to try these cookies out cause they look absolutely amazing. The location was really confusing for me, I had to drive around for couple minutes until we opened the window and smell cookies. The store isn't a normal store front, it's a factory with a small window with stairs in front. Parking is definitely easy with lots of space so don't you worry, it's not street parking. Cookies: chocolate chip, 50/50, and blueberry lemon crumble My absolute favorite would be the classic chocolate chip cookie. The cookie taste like homemade cookies of course with a taste of having cookie dough feel. I was not a fan of the blueberry lemon crumble, I wouldn't advise getting it.

Ordered from Detroit area for valentines day! These cookies are so delicious and huge! Definitely will order again! Love them!

Franklin M.

Always a good cookie, can't go wrong. Love the s'mores and so many other flavors. Hot tip: you can get these at Doms grocery in Lincoln park now (on diversy and Halsted). If you love cookies, try these, worth the price. Also microwave for 10 seconds for an even gooier cookie!

Ordered for clients for a Valentine's promo. Absolutely love the packaging! Branding at its finest. I unfortunately did not order extra so I don't get to try them. Epic fail. Delivery arrival was a day early! Thanks BIG FAT COOKIE!

Big Fat Cookie is one of our favorite desserts in Chicago! We are frequent Fox Trot Market shoppers and love to grab these as a delicious treat to take home while we're there. These cookies are in fact big and fat, the best cookie qualities if you ask me! Enjoy them at room temp or pop them in the oven for 3-5 minutes to get the centers ooey and gooey. We got the S'mores cookie with marshmallow center, Peanut Butter Double Chocolate with Reeses , and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip with marshmallow center. But great news to people outside Chicago, they ship nationwide!

THE BEST COOKIE EVER. Massive, gooey, fun & drool worthy toppings, blow your mind. Don't understand how they bake a cookie this big to perfection without burning & a raw inside; it defies science. Here's the deal for the actual location because I was VERY CONFUSED. Their "Mask. Knock. Pay. Go." made me think I had to order in advance, but you do not. Here are some tips: - check their Instagram for updated hours - wear a mask & knock on the window to order - you can order any assortment of cookie(s) (not the 4 packs they bundle on their site for online ordering) - they are WAY BIGGER than the ones I've bought at Dom's Market. And wayyyyyy more flavors - it's across from The Parker. Look for the silver door & small colorful banner. It's a few steps down from the DoorDash place GO. BUY EVERY COOKIE. SUPPORT THIS AMAZING LOCAL BUSINESS!

These cookies are soooo good! I buy them from Foxtrot Market and Dom's market and I even stock up and freeze them. I'm obsessed! I haven't tried all the flavors but favorite have been peanut butter chocolate chip, birthday sprinkles, candy bar toffee, and the pb&j.

These are in my opinion some of the BEST cookies you can find in Chicago, hands down. I frequented Lakeview Kitchen + Market a decent amount to pick up these bad boys, but unfortunately they have recently closed. Luckily Big Fat Cookie now sells their cookies at different locations across the city. I've tried a handful of these things including a Sprinkled Chocolate Chip, Nutella, S'mores, and Peanut Butter Cup. All of them were absolutely outstanding!! It is almost $16 for 3 cookies which is a LITTLE extreme... but if you feel like splurging I highly suggest it. I put two of them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 5-8 minutes to heat it up.. and it literally makes the chocolate melt in your mouth. The one I ate without heating up was still just as delectable. Definitely recommend anyone that has a sweet tooth like myself to try these out. You can share to your heart's desire (or not). :)

Everyone loved these cookies! They are super thick-think Levains Bakery in NYC. I'm not so crazy about thick cookies, but everyone loved them!!! I like the Oreo cookie which has Oreo cookies mixed in the cookie-it was soft & chewy. The chocolate chip was also very thick--and slight soft center. They recommend warming them up--which I imagine would take it up another notch! And their customer service was awesome. We ran into the owner when we were outside waiting and she was extremely kind...customer service is awesome! Cookies are delicious & HUGE!

Jacquelyn M.

Yelp
Wow! These are amazing! Chicago's answer to Levain in NYC but honestly better and more variety. They have packs that change with holidays which is so fun & their party pack is perfection. Order these! Ship these. They make a great gift. And everyone of my friends is getting a box for Christmas 2021! And that's all I have to say about that! Jackée

Some things in life are best when they are big and fat like avocados, babies, and Greek weddings. Cookies can be added to that list thanks to Big Fat Cookies in Chicago. These cookies are huge! They are large and dense - they definitely stood up to their name. What makes them unique? These cookies are made with quality ingredients and gooey in the middle. I enjoyed my decadent cookie pie dessert with a fork and a tall glass of milk. Although on the pricier end, these delights would be a wonderful surprise to anyone with a sweet tooth. Especially as we are adjusting to the new norm, Big Fat Cookies can help bring some joy to others. Check them out if you are looking to send a care package - don't forget to add some big fat avocados along with.

Pros: -Beautiful packaging -Hefty cookies -Good at room temperature but even better warm Cons: -Not super crispy on the edges -- Shipped Four Pack: classic, oatmeal raisin, triple chocolate and mixed {brown/white} These cookies are soft and buttery in the middle but not as much as CityCakes (which seem to be overly so). We preferred BFC but wished the edges would have been a little crispier. Our favorites were classic and mixed {brown/white}. Triple chocolate was very rich and cocoa-y and oatmeal raisin had a strong cinnamon flavor.

Raven L.

Yelp
These cookies are absolutely delicious! I got the breakfast pack and it came with "toast," "cereal," "coffe cake" & "hot cocoa." They are BIG FAT DELICIOUS cookies. The shipping (I'm in California) was really fast. I will be buying again.

Karma M.

Yelp
The best "meh cookies" you'll have in your life! If you haven't had Amish cookies then these cookies would see stupendous. They aren't horrible, but they quite don't compare to Amish quality. They are overly sugary and big for no good reason. BUT if you like eating that type of thing you'll love these cookies! Better than average cookies, and when I tried them again there's alot of fun variety. So 1 more star for fun and the love that goes into making these cookies

Nicolette P.

Yelp
My review is based on a shipment of cookies- not a store visit. I ordered two boxes of cookies- one of the love your mother {earth} peanuts × 1 and one of the 'nother nuckin' futz.{peanuts}. The cookies were delayed in shipping- as the website predicted. They arrive 3 days later than they were supposed to- I should have sprung for the expedited shipping. I've had 2 cookies so far- one from each box. I had the peanutbutter dough topped with puppy chow mix and the earth day cookie with the fudge covered oreo. I liked the earth day cookie more than the peanut butter dough cookie. The earth day cookie I didn't heat up- but it was still pretty good. The fudge covered oreo was my favorite part. The peanutbutter dough cookie I heated up- but it was just ok- a bit crumblier than I like my cookies. The cookies look amazing but are not worth the price- ended up being about $9/cookie after shipping. Overall I wouldn't order them again, but I would stop by if I was in Chicago, to give them a second chance.

Amanda H.

Yelp
These are incredible! Crisp on the outside, warm and gooey on the inside. I got the original chocolate chip one and the s'mores one. I can't think of another fresh-made cookie store this good in Chicago. They're huge so you can save part of your cookie and reheat it in a toaster oven or normal oven later and they still taste amazing. It's a little strange because you go to their warehouse and knock on their door, but it's cool to see them making the cookies fresh right then and there. The staff were also all super nice. They told us they make different cookies every day and you can go online to check what they'll be making. My only critique is that it's pricey - $5 for one cookie. However, I think it was worth it to at least try it out. Plus, they're big and it's a unique experience.

Let me start off by saying, I was scrolling through Instagram when I stumbled upon Big Fat Cookie. My favorite dessert of all time is gooey chocolate chip cookie so these cookie are right up my alley. I am not a fan of tree nuts, peanuts, or peanut butter and most of the cookie they offer have one of the sort inside but they do sell cookies that doesn't have nuts in it which is a major plus! I was obsessed and wanted to find out where I could purchase these cookies! They can ship the cookies but I didn't want a set of 4 and I didn't want to wait 2 days for them. ‍ I DM'd them on IG about where could I get a cookie in stores and they were super responsive! They even went as far to tell me which stores were open that day. I went to Cafe Corbel and they had a tower of all sorts of cookie flavors. I picked the chocolate chip of course and rushed home to cook it. The directions are on the back of the package and on the website on how to cook the cookie. I cooked mine at 350 degrees for 5 mins and they were PERFECT! It had a little crisp on the outside and super soft on the inside. Perfect. Big Fat Cookie is definitely one place you should check out if you're a cookie lover like me!

Laura R.

Yelp
Wholly mother of Christ! Wow! What a fucken amazing cookies!!! I even had to go to the location where they bake them to see for myself that in fact are not being sprinkle with powder cocaine!! They are insane!!!! You must try!!!! What a delicious cookie/cake like structure!!! Worth every penny!!!!!!

I absolutely LOVE these cookies. Since I live nowhere near Chicago, I had two different orders mailed to me - and all the cookies were securely packaged and shipped. Even the ones containing marshmallow made it in one piece and were not disheveled (cookie remained whole). I initially found Big Fat Cookie via Instagram and have been following them. If you have a cookie fiend in your family, these huge nuggets of joy are the perfect gift for them for any occasion. I love soft, chewy cookies, so Big Fat was right up my alley. Some of the traditional flavors stay the same, while other packs are seasonal and change. Check Big Fat Cookie's Instagram/website for constant updates. After receiving these boxes of cookies in the mail, I've enjoyed them straight out of the box (they're individually wrapped). They were still soft and chewy at room temperature, but if you want to achieve that same hot, gooey, fresh outta the oven, melted consistency, follow the reheating instructions that come with the cookies. These cookies can be expensive to order, depending on shipping, but they were SO worth trying (cookies are my favorite dessert!). Here's what I've tried: Rainbow Pack: The four cookies in this pack were: Classic with rainbow sprinkles, Mixed (classic/triple) studded with rainbow M&Ms, Classic rainbow non pareil, and Classic pink marshmallow fluff/S'mores. I loved this assortment purely because they were so colorful and fun to eat. The classic has lots of chocolate chips, and both the rainbow sprinkles and M&Ms gave the cookies welcomed crunch and texture. The s'mores one had a pink marshmallow fluff, and that was definitely gooey and sticky once I heated it up. This seasonal pack was available during the summer, and I really enjoyed all the colorful cookies in it. Sexy Pack: The other seasonal pack I received featured a lot of peanut butter flavors. I cannot remember the specifics of each cookie, but I know one had a peanut butter cup in it, another had a mixture of peanut butter chunks and OREOs, and there was a lot of chocolate in the other cookies as well. If this is ever available again, I would totally order it. Nuckin' Futz: This is another seasonal pack that the company is currently featuring, and it sounds amazing. With every seasonal item, they really take things up a notch. This pack has: peanut butter dough, mini Reese's and mini OREOs; peanut butter dough filled with raspberry preserves; quadruple chocolate with chocolate and peanut butter chips; and half-and-half peanut butter and quadruple chocolate with half OREO and half Reese's. I love OREO cookies and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are my favorite candies, so this box basically sounds like a match made in heaven. I hope they have something similar for the long haul so that it's a permanent option!

They are really great cookies! I would just say the location could be better but it works!

Big Fat Cookie is my favorite cookie in the city - period! The walk-up window has the best flavors (despite the somewhat unconventional-looking store facade in Goose Island) - they never fail to blow me away. Each cookie is handcrafted to perfection and totally worth the price and the trip. I've been buying BFC for years and my favorite flavors are: 50/50, the puppy chow, PB+Triple, anything with Buttercream, and PB+J to name a few. The workers go above and beyond to make sure you're satisfied - Marianne was the sweetest and wrapped my packaging with decoration string when she found out I was buying these for my family. 10/10 recommend to anyone with a sweet tooth looking to find their new favorite addiction!

Emily D.

Yelp
I had heard about this cookie for months and was so excited to finally try it. I tried both the Nutella and Oreo flavors (heated up of course). I loved the melted chocolate when it was broken in half (especially the Nutella one!) and the inside was perfectly soft. Overall, this was a really great cookie and I would absolutely get it again. However, I can't say it was the best cookie I've ever had (but maybe I'm just partial to more of a half baked cookie) so I have to give it a 4.

Life changing. That is all. Very friendly staff and awesome cookies. It was exactly as I imagined it after viewing their page on Yelp. Definitely recommend stopping here. WALKUP ORDERS ARE ONLY DONE ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY!!!!

If you love ooey gooey cookies, you definitely need to give Big Fat Cookies a try! I have a major sweet tooth, so these cookies are right up my alley. Truly HUGE and dense cookies, but they are so delicious. I tried the classic chocolate chip and the birthday sprinkle. They're good as is, but I popped mine in the airy fryer for a few minutes to warm them up and oh myyy it was phenomenal. So many flavors to try, so I'll definitely be getting more!

Missy H.

Yelp
If you want to try an amazing thick cookie that will make your tastebuds say holla! You must come here!! I stopped here recently and not only was the staff so friendly, the cookies were incredibly fresh and delicious. She handed us samples as soon as we came in to give us an idea of what we'd like, and we got to check out what all was available to choose from. And let me tell you it was hard to choose, the selection was awesome! I can't wait to come back and try more next time I'm in town. Thanks again big fat cookie!

If you're looking for big cookies that LIVEEE up to the hype, GO to Big.Fat. Cookie IMMEDIATELY. You have to be sure to heat them before eating just for 5-6 minutes at 350 degrees, it's a game changer! The owner and the employees are the sweetest, and we are regulars at this point! Thank you for providing quality on a consistent basis! Some of our personal favorites are Cupcake-ish, puppy chow, and Oreo sprinkle surprise. If I could give 10 stars instead of 5 I would!

Ok, this is the first time I've ever been compelled to write a Yelp review solely because of the quality of the product. But I can categorically say that the chocolate chip cookies I purchased from Big Fat Cookie, shipped to me all the way in Los Angeles, are without a doubt, the MOST delicious chocolate chip cookies I have ever eaten. First, size. Each cookie is a hulking, pillowy, rugged blob of doughy serenity. I was surprised by the sheer weight of one cookie. As I picked it up, I could hear it laughing at me. "You can't handle this, u scrub," it mocked cruelly. Each bite leaves you with a wonderful surprise at the end--because you will he surprised at how much more goddamn cookie there is to eat. Next, the texture. This cookie is wonderfully soft and chewy, but not so soft that it becomes doughy. The outside has a golden brown crust that is a delight to bite into, and once you get to the middle, you might as well sell your house because you will want to live inside this cozy cookie. The chocolate chips struck a perfect balance between solid and liquid, even after being FedEx'd to me. Finally, and most importantly, the taste. I am not joking when I say I will spend significant portions of the rest of my life trying to figure out the recipe for this dough. The perfect balance of brown to white sugar, enough eggs to hold the cookie together without it becoming too rigid, and a lovely, warm aftertaste. For me, eating this cookie was a religious experience. When I am next in Chicago, the FIRST thing I will do is go straight to Lakeview Kitchen and thank the chef profusely for breaking off a piece of a cloud from heaven and shipping it to me in the form of a cookie. Without a doubt, one of the most superb desserts I have ever consumed. And I still have 3.5 more cookies left!

The. Best. Cookie. I've. Ever. Had. Period. I was looking for a fresh, soft, flavorful, sweet, and memorable cookie, and that's exactly what I got. These are available at stores spread out throughout Chicago (look at their site for addresses), as well as their kitchen on Fri and Sat from 11-2, where you can pick some FRESH, warm cookies up. That's exactly what I did. I went to their kitchen, which was part of this warehouse-plaza, knocked on the door that had their sign, and a polite, beaming lady opened the door and asked me to come INTO THEIR KITCHEN. I kid you not, there were hundreds of fresh, BIG FAT COOKIES sitting on huge baking racks. Never seen more cookies in my life. The lady asked me which cookies I wanted, I chose, she packaged them just as I had asked, and fulfilled my purchase Couldn't have asked for a more polite, straightforward customer service and product. And seeing all those cookies was awesome! Smelled amazing in there. Will definitely be back

Oh my goodness! If you have not tried these cookies, you have not been living life! We came across these on IG. Initially found a couple in FoxTrot market. The size of the cookie could easily be shared by two! The flavor is outstanding! So soft and packed with "goodies"... I.e., Oreo, fudge, jam, marshmallow, etc. (All depending on the flavor you choose!). You can also buy any of their flavors at their location on Hooker St. almost has like a speakeasy vibe . MaryAnn has helped us both times, and remembered our previous visits, so that was nice! Anyway, now I want more! Guess I'll be heading over there soon! Also they have online ordering and shipping too! Enjoy! You won't be disappointed!

These are literally the best cookies I have ever eaten ever. They are huge and delicious and indulgent and perfect. But more than that, the folks who run this company, in the interactions I've had with them, are amazing and wonderful and kind. I had a box sent to my dad and grandmother in San Francisco, they arrived very quickly, and the folks from Big Fat Cookie texted me to double check they had the right zip before mailing the box. As soon as my fam got them they said "please send more". Which I did. I love you Big Fat Cookie people!

This was my first visit here. I had tried a cookie from a restaurant in the area but I wasn't impressed because it was wrapped in plastic and I didn't know that heating the cookie prior to eating was necessary. Having said that, I was waited on from a window at this location and the clerk was so nice and friendly. She wrapped my cookies so I could take them on the airplane home with me. I did warm one up which was chocolate and had brickle on top. I really enjoyed it but did have to eat in two settings because it is heavy and filling. Still have one in the freezer and can't wait to try that one. Yum!!

So fricken good !! These cookies are in a tiny shop (forgot the name) that sells a lot of different baked goods. I thought it was the name of the store so I walked right past it! When I went they only had a couple flavors so I got the Oreo and sprinkle one ... absolutely delicious. The cookie is hugeeee and a caloric splurge but worth it. I ate the whole thing in one sitting because I couldn't put it away! It was chewy on the inside, crispy on the outside, subtle sweetness, and absolutely addicting. I highly recommend!

Best cookies in Chicago- hands down! They're super fresh and very large. These cookies are the same level as Chip in NYC and I'm so happy to have them in Chicago. Their hours are tricky if you want to do local pickup, but the taste makes it worth scheduling your day around their pickup times. Please get a store or a food hall pop up!

I had heard amazing things about Big Fat Cookies, and read lots of great reviews, so I decided to place a (VERY expensive) order online and have them shipped to NH for my wife's birthday. When we received them they were packaged extremely well and were all intact. We could hardly wait to try them, so we left a few out on the counter to get them room temperature, threw them in the oven and they looked amazing. Ever heard the phrase "looks can be deceiving"? Well, it's true. They looked great but the flavor was just "ok" nothing to write home about, I could've made them at home and been just as ok with them. For the amount of money I paid for 6 cookies, I could've taken my wife to a fancy restaurant for a nice dinner on her birthday, but she really wanted these cookies, and it was such a huge let down.

I literally trekked 20 minutes in the rain for this cookie. It was sooooo good. I will definitely be coming back for this.
