Cookies By Design

This location has closed down. Went there last week And everything was gone. No sign, no working phone and no cookies. :(

Not sure if they are still in business because their phone number is out of service.

Went in today a few minutes before closing and OMG I was blown away! The staff is super friendly! You need to try the Smores cookie! By far the best cookie I have ate and I’m a big chocolate chip cookie fan! I was hesitant about the other cookies but I also recommend the snicker doodle and the millionaire, excellent! I will be ordering some Smores cookies before my flight back to LA!

Not only are the cookies delicious, but they have excellent customer service. I highly recommend this company for all of your cookie needs.

Fun bouquet! Something different. Excellent customer service! Delivered same day and called me to let me know when delivery was completed. Wasn’t expecting that :)

I LOVE cookies and I LOVE Cookies By Design! Bonnie is AWESOME and her staff is too! They are always so nice! They have freshly baked cookies in their showcase that you can buy. If you know what you want, you can call in your order ahead of time, and they will bake it for you! I recommend doing this, in case they’re out of what you want. I love the s’mores and chocolate chip cookies! They have many others to choose from — I can’t remember the names of them right now, but they are all so delicious! I’ve given these to friends and clients, and those people end up going there to get more! They’re addicting — trust me! They also have other cookie gifts, such as huge cookies, and cookie gift baskets, decorated in may different styles — and they deliver, of course! I have a friend that’s addicted to the s’mores cookie, so for his birthday, I had them make him a custom HUGE s’mores cookie — he loved it! You must go there and check it out!

Their S’mores cookies are DA BOMB DIGGITY! So… I ordered 20 custom made baskets and the staff were so easy to work with! Connie and her crew are true professionals and fantastic artists of their craft. I wish I took a pic of the customs cookies they made for The Plaza where every detail that I requested was executed to a T! Also, the day that I went to pick up my order, I accidentally locked my self out of my car! But they were so nice that they let me hang out and wait for my hubs to rescue me, offered to pay my meter and even gave me a free cookie. Needless to say I was having a bad day but their kindness really help me get through that busy day.
I came back two weeks later just to buy a dozen of their S’Mores cookies for my office. They were devoured!

I love cookies. The only person I know who loves cookies more than me– my boyfriend. So for the bf’s birthday, I knew it wasn’t a cake I would be getting him. ;)
Walked into the store (located on Pensacola, across from First Hawaiian Bank) and was admiring all of the cookies in the display window! They had a lot of different «bouquets» and the main display was for boy’s day! Soooo cute!
The lady acknowledged me right away and asked how she could help me. I told her the details and also added in that he was a cyclist. She suggested either a bouquet or a «cookie cake». She emphasized the latter since he was having a birthday and it was an intimate one, so I took her up on her suggestion. I wasn’t going to be able to pick it up after work the next day (his birthday), so I asked if it could be ready by nine in the morning, and without hesitation she confirmed it could. Suhhhhweeeeet!
Came back the next day and it was perfect! She had a happy birthday message and a big bicycle on it, in his favorite color, cerulean. It even came with a card I could personalize and a big blue bow! He loved it, his friends loved it, and it was DELICIOUS. Nice and chewy, not overly done– and demolished in minutes.
I definitely recommend this cute shop for all your cookie needs!

Nice little shop off of Pensacola Street. Walked in cause I was craving cookies and saw they had several different cookies for sale. Had to try the s’mores cookie, as well as the almond cookie and another cookie which I forgot the name of. That one had all kinds of stuff in it and was delicious! Was only a buck and change each. Walked out happy and soon devoured these delicious treats. They’re the only franchise in Hawaii… too bad, wish they had one on Maui! Plus you can order cookie baskets and other treats for delivery, kinda like a cookie florist. Now I know who to call when I need to send a gift in Honolulu. Check it out, you will definitely enjoy their treats!

These cookies are pretty yummy… I live near by and I had a cookie craving but didn’t need 20 cookies in a platter from Safeway… I just wanted a couple. I got there 15 minutes before closing and the door was locked but the lady graciously opened up to fulfill my chocolate needs.
They have a $ 5 credit card minimum so I was FORCED to get 4 cookies. I tried the smores, chocolate peanut butter, snickerdoodle, and regular chocolate chip. My fave was the brownie like chocolate peanut butter and classic chocolate chip.
I wonder if they bake them fresh every morning cause mine were relish and soft but when she closed up the display case when I was leaving, she left the rest of the unsold cookies in the display case and covered it up for the day. So yummy, I will for sure be back!

I love cookies! I’m generally not into fancy, decorated cookies, because usually they don’t taste as good as plain cookies, and I feel like it’s a waste to work so hard on something that I’m going to glance at for a second and then stuff into my mouth… BUT, these cookies are the exception. They are beautiful, adorable, unique cookies that taste awesomely DELICIOUS!
Yes, the parking kind of sucks, but it’s worth it to go into the store if you need to place an order (rather than calling or going online) because then you can pick up some plain cookies for yourself. Try not to eat them all on the way home. Save one or two for your family. =D

C is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me
C is for Cookie, that’s good enough for me
Oh Cookie, Cookie, Cookie starts with C
A round cookie with one bite out of it looks like a C
A round doughnut with one bite out if it also looks like a C
But it is not as good as a cookie
Okay sometimes when I think of cookies I think of the Cookie Monster singing this song and it makes me smile. Yes I really like cookies. In this case I love cookies from Cookies By Design! My friend Kent gave me a Smores Cookie and I was hooked. I actually drove down there that day to see what else they have.
I opened the door and I felt like I floated in on the aroma of freshly baked cookies. It was not a good day for my diet let me tell you as I bought a half dozen cookies and ended up eating 5 of them before I got home. I would of ate the last one but my roomy saw the bag in my hand and hinted how he loves their cookies. With my eyes squinted, I asked what was his favorite one hoping I wouldn’t have it… he says «I like their smores but I really like the millionaire.» Darn it, the last one was the millionaire. So reluctantly I gave it to him. It was like a tug of war with the bag but yes I let go and he ate it right in front of me. Hmph!
If you are looking for a different type of gift, they also have some awesome cookie gifts. I’m taking this out of the Forrest Gump movie but they also have: Cookie Bouguets, cookie leis, Cookie Favors, Pan Cookies, Cookie Gift Baskets, and Kabobs as well as some awesome Brownie pops! YUMMY!!!
So if you are getting your cookie fix on or looking to give an awesome gift come stop by Cookies By Design.

It was a Monday morning afternoon when I decided I needed a cookie. I had checked this place out a week earlier with a friend after lunch, just to see what they had. One thing caught my eye… SMORES COOKIE. it even had a little hershey’s kisses on top! I was too full and knew i would one day come back. I had no idea it would be so soon though. I went in and ordered exactly what I went there to get. The lady cheerfully picked one with a good ratio of SMORES: CHOCOLATE. I was sooo excited! Before I made it back to my office I had already taken two huge bites. What surprised me was the graham cracker on the bottom of the cookie! Surprisingly crisp on the bottom of my soft, buttery, chocolatey, oozy, marshmallowy foamy cookie. I savored the rest of the cookie slowly at my desk. Foodgasm… best. monday. ever.

3÷30÷12: EXCELLENT SERVICE! My wife and I received a wonderful and beautiful cookie bouquet when our daughter arrived. Our immediate family ordered it and had it delivered to Kapiolani Hospital. As we were leaving the hospital, the bouquet’s base tore a hole in the cellophane wrap and went tumbling out onto the ground! EEKS! We lost a couple cookies in the mishap, but when I called the store and explained what happened, they made new replacement cookies! Thank you! My wife was heartbroken not having taken a photo, Great service and we’ll be ordering from here all the time!

I was trying to think of something special to wow my fiancé on his birthday and remembered a little cookie shop that I had driven by for years.
I called Cookies by Design after checking out the website (I alway prefer ordering things in person). The gal that answered the phone was so helpful and said that their designer could include our family birds on the cookie’s design. I gave her the species and she said that the designer would google them.
I thought that pricing was reasonable (roughly $ 50 for a giant cookie and delivery) considering what I would spend to have a plant or flowers delivered. As we hung up, I was asked if I would like them to email me a photo of the finished product. Wow! That’s a great touch!
I can’t attest to the taste of the cookie, as it is being delivered as I write this. I’m sure they must be good because I know the shop has been around for several years.
Highly recommend them as a unique creative gift!

Cookies by Design is a nice little niche for the gift giving business. Especially now for the holiday season when sometimes you are giving to groups of people (office, church, families), a little box/​bucket/​platter of cookies does the trick. As people have said, its hard not to like a cookie.
From ornately decorated cookies in any design imaginable such as hello kitty or flowers to just a spread of gourmet cookies such as oatmeal raisin, snickerdoodle, and the millionaire, you’ll find something for everyone. They even have some brownies and red velvet cupcakes available too. But yeah, Cookies by Design came through for me when I needed to find some nice group gifts.
Anyhow, When I write about a local business (and not a restaurant), usually it’ll be a good review. In general, I rather spend my time writing good things and smiling at the recollection, rather than getting all pissed about the memory of my frustrating time. And the best part about reviewing local businesses is that you make people aware of them, which is half the battle for these guys. Because «You don’t know what you don’t know».

Who doesn’t love cookies, Oscar the Grouch? If you’re looking for a fun gift that’s more creative that birthday cake or flowers, try a cookie bouquet, which is comparably priced with both. Cookies by Design offers several flavors in classics like peanut butter and oatmeal raisin plus unique flavors like lemonade iced and «million dollar» cookies that are sure to please. You can personalize your gift, too.
The cookies are moist, chewy, and delish, not like many commercially made cookies, which can be dry and crumbly. Definitely a treat.
Keep in mind that if you want to pleasantly surprise your gal pal with one of these, find out in advance whether this is a «diet» week or not by asking her BFF, not her, unless you want to start a fight! :-)

«If you love me, you will buy me a basket filled with Sanrio (i.e. — Hello Kitty and others) cookies.» If it were only so simple to say that to someone you’re seeing.
Flowers are wonderful, don’t get me wrong. But cute cookies from these folks are TO DIE FOR! I mean, really… if you want to get something that gets a «WOW!» out of the person you’re sending it to (not to mention all the jealous co-​workers around him /​her), you HAVE to get a basket from this place.
They have samples online. But I don’t think they have the Sanrio basket online. This location, I was able to confirm, does. QUICK! Someone fall madly in love with me so you can send me a basket! I don’t need to know your name. Just send me one!
All kidding aside, this is such a great «out of the box» gift to send someone, whether it’s your boss, your friend, your loved one… it can be pretty pricey and probably runs close to about $ 10 a cookie, not to mention delivery fees and then tack on an extra charge if you get them a cute basket instead of their standard one. But it’ll be a basket that they’ll take a picture of and upload to Facebook to brag to all their friends that they got one.
Are you getting the hint?! ^_~

If you’re looking for a gift that will WOW your girlfriend or female relative and costs less than a hundred bucks, then a Cookies By Design gift basket is the way to go! I love getting flowers but am always sad when they wither and die after a few days. I enjoy giving and receiving cookie baskets because you get to eat your gift for days on end afterwards. Nothing like a good cookie to help you feel better about being a year older!!!
Cookies By Design baskets are awesome because you can personalize them by theme or occasion and they can write the recipients name on the cookies. You can send a birthday basket with cakes that have candles, a Mother’s day basket with flowers or a lobster cookie basket for that special individual who has an affinity for shellfish. Everything is made in house so you know that you’re getting a fresh product! They also deliver which is key because it saves me time and there’s nothing better than being the girl in the office who has something delivered in front of everyone!
Baskets will run $ 50-​$ 100 depending on how many cookies you decide on. If a basket is not your style they also have cookie leis, cookie cards and cookies for you just to eat because you’re hungry. Cookies By Design is a franchise so it’s locally owned and all that cookie dough (ha ha ha) supports a great local family!

Cookies. I’m a big fan. This place is a good alternative if you need a cookie fix but don’t have time to make ‘em at home. Roughly a stone’s throw from the Safeway on Beretania, the employee who helped me said they normally have daily morning baking sessions.
I would rate both the standard chocolate chip and snickedoodle as quite good and the white chocolate chip, while tasty, would rate a smidge below them. The oatmeal raisin was alright but I found myself wishing it had more flavor.
