The Cookie Corner

Walking home from work through Bishop St — sometimes the wonderful smells just get me of home cooking. Who can resist the smell of fresh chocolate chip cookies???
After hours I can see that they are slow– as they are closing up shop instead of the lunch and breakfast rushes when they are ready to handle the crowds. But still friendly service.
Sometimes you just need the indulgence or the sugar to get through a bad day.
One thing more I got to say– If I was having to send gifts to relatives that have visited Hawaii already and know the basic things like Mac Nuts and Lihimoi Powder then I would get some of the more exotic cookies like the Lilikio Cookies or send them to them then. The flavor is so overwhelmingly good and different from my normal palate that I know others would like them as a 1 time treat.

Cookie Corner reviews mystify me. How can a place that smells so incredible be so unremarkable?
The !!FRESH-​COOKIES! scent they pump out onto the sidewalk to lure you into the shop is incredible. In the wrong hands, that could be a powerful psychological weapon.
But the cookies themselves? They don’t taste half as good as the scent that lures you in. The chocolate chip and snickerdoodle cookies I’ve tried were completely underwhelming.
Ultimately, I suppose dashed expectations are good for my waistline…

This location is so convenient for people who work in/​near Bishop Square. I’ve been here a few times to pick up last minute local treats for my mainland friends and family. The item I always buy is the fruit bars. Those things are buttery and delicious. If you haven’t had one before, you really need to try one. They offer the fruit bars in lemon, lime, or lilikoi (passion fruit) and they come in a gift bag or gift box. I usually go with the gift box since it has better presentation.
I used to come for an afternoon snack but after awhile, I stopped because a single cookie can cost up to $ 2.50 (pricey stuff) and it’s really unhealthy. I kind of already sit in a chair staring at a computer monitor all day so munching on those cookies will make me gain extra weight.

If you celebrate Christmas all year long, then you must know the Melting Moments cookies at The Cookie Corner. These powdery white round cookies look like Christmas and taste like a holiday party in your mouth, sweetly melting on your tongue and leaving behind white mustache lips.
Unlike the other cookies in the case and there are many (Chocolate Chip Macadamia, M&Ms, Peanut Butter, Oatmeal Raisin, Rice Krispie, Half-​Dipped Shortbread, Snickerdoodles …), Melting Moments are not available for individual munching but must be purchased in the signature red cup. The small cup holds 9 pieces for about $ 5, while the large cup holds 15 pieces for $ 7.95.
The Cookie Corners’ Bishop Square store offers a convenient location if you work in downtown and need to quell a cookie hunger, buy a last-​minute gift, or are sending a package to the mainland (hey, Lori W., this is where I usually pick up your Lemon Bars!). In addition to the fresh-​made cookies, there are packaged mini-​cookies, biscotti, lime and guava bars, and cold drinks. If Long’s is a part of your day, Cookie Corner is a part of mine!

Yum when you are in the need for a cookie or even a cookie and a drink as they have the 2 cookie and drink special for $ 2.99.
That craving always seems to come to me when I pass a Cookie Corner the wonderful smells of cookies baking wafting out of the store just brings those juices flowing in your mouth of «Cookie Wanting» how can you pass this place without a craving for a cookie?
I break down too often, I am weak for that delicious cookie! as I write this I want a COOKIE!!! I feel like I’m the cookie monster, YUM YUM COOKIE! awww. cya all later going to get a cookie.
