Isabella’s Cookies

These cookies are very good, soft, delicious flavors. My favorites are:
1. The Chocolate Haze
2. Shortcake cookie
3. Rocky road cookie
Must try’s!

Incredibly yummy cookies.

I thought Isabella’s Cookie Company was a store, but as it turns out, you can find their cookies in various retail stores or you could order from the company directly. I’ve been so fortunate to try several of their numerous cookie varieties, and I haven’t been disappointed with anything that I’ve tried.
To me, the perfect cookie sports a soft and chewy consistency, and it includes a strong enough flavor of its specific ingredient (chocolate, peanut butter, mint, etc.). I love Isabella’s Cookies because they are definitely moist and chewy (vs. hard and crispy), and they’re generously filled/​studded with different featured mix-​ins. They also contain a good variety of cookies for different holidays and special occasions, so be sure to check the website to see what seasonal offerings are available.
Here’s what I would recommend if you’re ordering from Isabella’s:
«Peanut Butter Bomb»: These really were
! I love peanut butter cookies with a chewy, moist, tender consistency, so the Isabella’s version was an all-​around win for me. These cookies come chockfull of peanut butter chips and peanut butter candies (in the peanut butter cookie). Peanut butter lovers — you’ll truly go nuts for these soft-​and-​chewy treats. I love strong peanut butter flavors in my cookies, so this would probably be one of my favorites from the wide assortment at Isabella’s.
«Red Velvet»: I absolutely love red velvet cupcakes and pancakes, but more often than not, I’ve found that red velvet cookies can be a hit-​or-​miss deal. Thankfully, though, Isabella’s «Red Velvet» cookies were a winner! I would definitely order a bag of these scrumptious delights again. Isabella’s teamed up with the famous Buttermilk Truck – known for their red velvet pancakes – to create their red velvet cookie, which comes topped with a vanilla drizzle. I loved the moist texture of these cookies, which did remind me of the Buttermilk Truck’s famous silver dollar-​sized red velvet pancakes, which I was so fortunate to have enjoyed. They were soft, chewy and crumbly all at the same time, and the sweet vanilla drizzle was truly the icing on the cake. These cookies were seriously so good that I almost finished an entire bag of eight (or so) by myself … in one sitting.
«Isabella’s Original Cookie (without Nuts)»: Though the «original» chocolate-​and-​peanut butter chip, walnut-​studded cookie at Isabella’s is a yummy treat, I still prefer my cookies without nuts, so this sweet treat was right up my alley. (The «Original» is definitely a must-​try, though, since it does contain peanut butter chips).This «no-​nut» version still contained the features of the «Original” – soft, chewy texture and a generous amount of chocolate chip and peanut butter chip mix-​ins – but sans the walnuts. Great for traditionalists who are perfectly satisfied with more «traditional» chocolate chip cookies. I’m glad the Isabella team made a version of the «Original» cookie without nuts for cookie fanatics like myself who just prefer straight-​up chocolate and peanut butter cookies with no extra fuss or frills!
«V-​Chip (Vegan Chocolate Chip)»: It can be hard to find a decent Vegan-​friendly treat that’s not super dry and lacking in flavor, but Isabella’s nails it when it comes to Vegan treats. If I didn’t know these cookies were Vegan-​friendly, I wouldn’t have been able to tell at all! The cookies are pretty simple in taste and texture – sporting plenty of chocolate chips – but the result is phenomenal. These soft and chewy treats basically taste the same as the other non-​Vegan cookies, and I would order them again in a heartbeat. Who knew that Vegan cookies could be so delicious?
«V-​Coco»: This Vegan cookie is like a moist, double chocolate cookie and it’s absolutely amazing. It features lots and lots of chocolate chips, making each bite a perfect balance of moist cookie with great texture.
«Chocolate Haze»: I haven’t had a chance to taste this delightful chocolate cookie yet, but it’s on my «to-​taste» list for sure. It features chunks of dark chocolate and hazelnuts, providing the best of both worlds in one cookie. Because I’m a fan of Nutella, I’m sure I’ll like this cookie. I really like dark chocolate because of its bittersweet taste (though nothing’s wrong with rich and creamy milk chocolate), but I’m excited to experience the hazelnut chunks in this cookie as well.
«V-​Breakfast»: Though I haven’t gotten to try this Vegan delight just yet, it really does sound like the perfect breakfast treat. It features a soft maple cookie filled with crunchy waffle bits, mouth-​watering chocolate chips and vegan bacon. Now, I don’t think I’ve ever had vegan bacon in my life, so that would be a first-​time experience. But this cookie sounds like a great sweet-​savory treat (like a maple-​bacon waffle, but in cookie form) that I’m more than willing to try.

Isabella’s cookies ROCK! I absolutely love them they are the best cookies I have ever had no lie. They made some cookies for my Baby Shower and wrapped them individually as gifts for my guests and made them in a few different designs.
Everyone loved them they were a huge hit!
I will definitely contact Isabella’s again for future orders and gifts!
Thank you again you guys are Amazing!

This update is for their service! Excellent customer service! I hate to leave one star only based on my one subpar taste experience so I had to update! Still haven’t had a chance to try the cookies again but I’m sure it will be a much better experience when I get to try their fresh ones :-) looking forward to it!

I was very disappointed when I first sampled Isabella’s Cookies. I had purchased a bag at Whole Foods. A week later, I ended up sampling a couple of other flavors at an event. I had Muffy Mini Bites, Twister Mini Bites and another mini-​bite size cookie. All three were dry and absolutely terrible. 1 star times three.
So, when I was contacted by Jennifer Palmer — the proprietor — who was disappointed by my experience with her cookies, I agreed to sample them again. She thought that my negative experience may have been due to a failure to turn the stock at Whole Foods. (This would explain The Muffy, but not the cookies that I sampled at the event. However, those may have been left out too long.) This time, I had the standard size cookies (they have about a 2.5″ diameter as opposed to a 1″ diameter). Here is the lowdown on what I tried:
The Muffy — 2 stars — while it is a unique cookie, with its chocolate covered blueberries, dried blueberries and white chocolate chips in a standard cookie base, it is not very good. I opened this cookie second (around ⁶⁄₂₄ for cookies with a freshness date of ⁶⁄₃₀), and they were still pretty dry. Maybe the dried blueberries should be omitted to allow for maximum moisture? And, perhaps white sugar instead of brown? I bake quite a bit, and these cookies were just not very good. They were not as dry as the mini-​bites, but they were not wonderful.
Rocky Road — 5 stars — now, this is what I am talking about. A chocolate cookie that has chocolate chips and slivered almonds (it is supposed to have marshmallows too, but we did not see a single marshmallow in a bag of 10 cookies). This was truly an outstanding cookie. It was SOOOOO MOIST!!! The cookie was so tender that it would fall apart in your hands. The chocolate flavor was rich, and it is clear that she uses excellent quality chocolate. Because the cookies were so moist, even the chocolate chips added a textural element. But, I particularly loved the textural element added by the almonds. This was the absolute best cookie that I had.
Peanut Butter Bomb — 4 stars — this is a peanut butter cookie that has peanut butter chips and candy coated peanut butter candies (like Reese’s pieces). This was a very good cookie. Once again, we had a VERY moist cookie. The peanut butter base cookie is made with smooth peanut butter. The peanut butter chips are not as «solid» as chocolate chips, so they are much more like the rest of the consistency of the cookie (i.e., soft). You get a slight crunch from the Reese’s pieces. So, why not 5 stars? Because I am a fan, but it could really use chopped peanuts for that critical crunch. (At least, personally, I love soft peanut butter cookies with a little crunch from the peanuts.) So, I am definitely a fan, but it’s not the best ever. With chopped peanuts, it would be the best ever. Not a lot — just as much as there are almonds in the Rocky Road cookie. I would actually dial back the peanut butter chips in favor of some chopped peanuts, because the peanut butter chips don’t add much.
Maui Wowie — 4 stars — a base cookie dough with chopped macadamia nuts, pineapple (although, I neither saw nor could taste this), shredded coconut and white chocolate chips. Despite having a very similar base to the Muffy, this is a very good cookie. I am not sure what is done differently here, or if it is just a different effect from the added ingredients. This cookie is pretty moist, which is always a challenge with coconut. It actually tasted like a white chocolate chip cookie with a TON of coconut. I am a big coconut fan. The only reason that I didn’t give the cookie 5 stars is the lack of pineapple. Had I not known it was there, I wouldn’t have missed it. But I couldn’t taste it. To be fair, husband LOVED this cookie.
So, if you toss out the extremes — the 1 star Muffy and the 5 star Rocky Road — you end up with a 4 star cookie establishment. A piece of advice — DO NOT buy the mini-​bites. I think that they may dry out because of their smaller size. Otherwise, these cookies are very good, and I love that they are locally made.

**The Unilocal Listing location is a wholesale location! You have to buy Isabella’s Cookies at Whole Foods**
Cookie Monster’s beware! These cookies are amazing! My best friend sent me on a run to bring back some of Isabella’s Cookies with me, but she sent me to the wrong location. The warehouse location, which is also the Unilocal listing, is a warehouse wholesale store. But the local Whole Foods carry these cookies and are restocked every week on Monday and Tuesdays.
When I showed up I was a little confused and definitely disappointed. But Jennifer offered me as much help as she could and let me purchase some cookies from the limited stock she had remaining. She was so sweet and generous, and when they were out of my bff’s favorite flavor, she gave me an equally amazing recommendation.
I was so impressed, not just with the cookies, but with Jennifer’s sincerity and customer service! I snuck a cookie, or a few from the bags I bought — YummmmAzing!!! I see why my best friend sent me here with a list! I had to go to the store to find the exact flavors she wanted, but I can tell you that every single one is simply delicious.

Love these cookies!!! The are the best!!! The are very filling soft cookies!!! My favorite is the Strawberry Shortcake. The owner Jennifer is one of the sweetest ladies in the world and makes you want to buy more cookies not only cause her cookies are so good but because she is such a nice person as well.
Was so stoked to meet her one day at work and tell her how much I loved her cookies. She invited me to stop by the little place where she cranks out these amazing cookies. So awesome to see. She was so sweet that she offered to bring me a bag full of 3 – 4 different cookies for me to have for FREE and she did this on several occasions. Needless to say I got a whole bunch of my co workers hooked on these cookies and would take orders from them and gave the order straight to Jennifer. I highly recommend these cookies.

Ok, so after reading my review, Jennifer (aka Isabella) wrote me and insisted that I try one of her other flavors. I ended up taking her up on her offer and she mailed me a really nice, sweet package of not only one bag of cookies, but four! The cookies came in this cute tote and I actually got excited to try them! She sent The Muffy, The Matinée, Maui Wowie and Isabella’s Original. I have to say, they were all really good! I especially liked The Matinée cookies, but all were delicious! My boyfriend agreed, as did a couple other friends who tried them who had never had this brand before. They said they would totally go out and buy some! You’ve got some new customers added to your list! =P Thank you for caring about your customers and sending such a generous gift! It was very unnecessary but totally appreciated! Our tummies are now filled with sweetness! =)

I recently have tried 4 different cookies (Isabella’s Original, the Fluffy, Rocky Road, and Lil Sweet Bella) and all were so very yummy, I had to update my review. The cookies I have tried were very soft, had the perfect amount of sweetness, and were yummy all over. They were shipped to my work, and I shared the cookies with my co-​workers and we enjoyed them all. My favorite was the rocky road (double choco cookie with nuts and marshmallow, YUM) … I’ll have to order some more soon.
Thanks again Jennifer and everyone at Isabella’s Cookies! The cookies were a revelation!

I first received Isabella’s Cookies as a birthday gift. maybe about four years ago, I believe that the box had five bags of cookies, and they were so good, I must have eaten at least a couple of cookies from each bag before I shared them with the rest of the office. I told them that I had to do a «quality check» before sharing :-D
The cookies are so fresh that they are still moist and chewy for a few days after you receive them. I’m not sure how long they remain soft and chewy because they’re usually all gone by day 2 or 3!
I have been ordering these cookies online for birthday gifts to send to friends at their work. Imagine receiving a box of cookies at work… At work, no one there will judge you if you eat them because they will all be sitting next to you enjoying them too! Both men and women love these cookies… especially men, because it’s FOOD!
My all time favorite flavor is still the Muffy. I also like the original, Peanut Butter Bomb, Rocky Road, and Maui Wowie. I just saw that they have Spicy Chocolate cookies now (Hot Chocolate). Maybe I’ll order these for myself… right now! haha.
Customer service is excellent as welll. (Thank you!) Every year that I’ve been ordering. must be 3 years now, Jennifer has always made sure that the cookies are packed with care, and the note cards look like they are hand written as well. Such a great personal touch, and much better penmanship than my writing, for sure!
Forget about ordering flowers, or those expensive fruit arrangements that had failed me three times already with their delivery service. Order Isabella’s Cookies instead… online ordering is very easy, they’re always reliable because they will send you the tracking info once they’re shipped, and there’s no question that the quality will always be fresh, as if it just came out of the oven!

These are good if you like soft doughy cookies. I made a special trip to wholefoods where these cookies were hiding on the bottom shelf of the bakery section. The selection must vary at each store because I didn’t see some of the flavors as one Unilocal reviewer photographed.
I ate 5 cookies in one sitting (and yes, I’m at the gym everyday now). They were best slightly microwaved for 10 sec to get that chocolate gooey. Must have with glass of milk of course. These cookies are also not too sweet. I froze the rest as one Unilocaler recommended but have not had a cookie since, so not sure how it will taste defrosted.

I ordered Isabella’s cookies as a gift and the recipient enjoyed them very much. I was pleased with their service as I had some issues with the online ordering and they were very helpful in ensuring my order was properly shipped in a timely manner. They provided the tracking details as requested and everything went smoothly and deliciously.

Love love love Isabella’s. Every time I give a friend an Isabella’s cookie, it’s love at first bite.
* Homemade chewy goodness.
* Burst of flavor.
* Great company mission.
* Love the partnership events and the crafting community events.
I’m on a mission to try every kind of cookie they make! My fave so far = Maui Wowie.
GO ISABELLA’S!

It turned out we’ve been buying stale cookies from this popular pizza joint all these time!!! Bc we just tried four different kinds of FRESH Isabella’s Cookies, what a world of difference!!! Among the four flavors, I love the Maui Wowie the best, it reminded me of mooncake!!! Yummy! So when it’s not mooncake season, I have Maui Wowie to contend with, sweet!!!
The Isabella’s Original cookies are so good, the ants loved them too, now I need to make sure the ants don’t find them. Ants are cleaver, they can smell freshness miles away.
The Paddy cookie is another crowd pleaser in this house, since my hub loves the Girl Scout mint cookies which he can buy them from his coworker only during certain time of the year.
The Rocky Road cookies are my cookie dough lover son’s fav, and now he wants to try the B. O. B. cookies. I’m heading to the Whole Food now.
There are two suggestions I want to make: 1. I’d love it if the cookies come in a resealable bag, that way ants won’t be able to get in and cookies can stay fresh too. I can put them in a zipper lock bag when I’m at home, but if I’m out, I don’t normally carry zipper lock bag with me.
2. I noticed the big monster cookies don’t have expiration date on the wrapper, that could explain the reason of stale cookies sold in that pizza joint. Just guessing.
I’m going to try the Hot Chocolate cookies next time, the smoky chipotle sounds very enticing!

Several weeks ago my friend and I ordered a batch of freshly cooked Milk & Bookies Chocolate Chip cookies from Isabella’s and they were AMAZING.
On Wednesday (07-​25-​2012) my friend and I picked up a new order this time we tried the ‘Matinée’ cookie and go figure we going to the Matinée showing of the Dark Knight Rises in IMAX the same day. We smuggled in 2 burritos from LAX Taco and Isabella’s cookies into the movies. We were good movie goers and finished our burritos prior to taking the first bite of the ‘Matinée.’ I only wish I would of saved more room for more cookies. The cookies were simply AMAZING. The ‘Matinée’ cookie is Cinnamon Oatmeal cookie with raisins and chocolate covered raisins in every bite. (The cookies only last a day or so after the movies, I think we counted eating the rest of the them the next day as a meal).
Those cookies are heaven on Earth and we cannot wait to try a new one next time around, we already have the new cookie picked out just have to figure out when=)

«Waitaminute. Does this cookie have bacon in it? It tastes (chomp chomp chomp) like bacon but (chomp chomp chomp) it’s a cookie!!» Perhaps the cookie name (‘Wake-​n-​Bacun’) should have clued me in. Yes, Virginia, cookies do have bacon in them. They also have maple syrup, chocolate chips, a sort of waffley dough thing going on. Mhm. That’s right. It’s breakfast in a cookie. Go ahead. Eat several. It’s the most important meal of the day.
Isabella doesn’t just stop at bacon. If you’re looking to handle an all-​nighter, look no further than the Mocha Monster Cookie. It’s a brown sugar cookie base (I have your attention, yes?) with chocolate chunks and FIVE SHOTS OF ESPRESSO!!!111!!!1! This cookie? Have just one. If you eat more, that’s no good for anyone (although it would be a funny prank to pull on someone). Isabella’s stuff is all natural, made just like your mom or grandma would make them if they had gourmet ingredients. There are many flavors to try that harken back to all your favorite memories. Next on my hit list are the key lime pie cookie, APPLE FRITTER COOKIE, banana split cookie, and strawberry shortbread cookie. I mean, really. Bacon, espresso, apple, key lime and/​or strawberries… in cookies! Can you believe it?

Lucy Y. made me cheat.
Sure, like most flings it started out innocent enough before she tempted me and I succumbed last week.
I had been loyal for years to Scottie with no intention of every straying. I made this clear but Lucy was relentless in her praise of Muffy and how good she was. I declined yet again but when she said that Scottie would allow me to give Muffy a try, I’ll admit, I was both confused and excited at the same time.
Last week in DTLA I slipped into Famima! but she wasn’t there. I figured she was playing a game and was willing to play along. Off to another Famima! with the same results. Determined at this point knew there was one last Famima! she could be hiding in so I passed the counter and there she was. Sitting next to Sugar Rush, she was just waiting for me to grab her, with another Muffy the shelf below keeping watch over me.
I looked around with no Scottie in sight, paid for her pleasure, and quickly left the store. I made my way into the parking garage and wondered if this was where our moment would happen but held out. She looked up at me from the passenger seat as I drove back to work, wanting me to open her bag. I turned away as I left the car and went back into the office, knowing I could hold out for only so much longer.
And then it happened.
At 2:18, I snuck back outside for my first taste of Muffy. She was packed with blueberries, white chocolate chips and even blueberries covered in white chocolate. I couldn’t stop at just one. Or two. I had never tasted anything this good and the bag was gone within minutes.
When I got home, my wife discovered my indiscretion and expressed her disappointment in not getting to try Muffy too. I promised that next time I would share Muffy with her which got me a smile.
I then not only reached out to Lucy (who said how easy Muffy had become) but to Ciara G. as well. Instead of receiving the support I needed Ciara told me how aggressive I was in trying to find Muffy and then suggested I should give Maui Wowie a try next. After falling in love with Muffy and feeling guilt about Scottie, she now suggests I look elsewhere too?
I promised her I would but at this point expect the Cheaters surveillance cameras to be following me next time I enter Famima! To allow what little is left of my dignity, might try mail order to a PO box instead.
Oh what the hell… these cookies are too good to be loyal to just one. While my heart belongs to Muffy, I’m now looking for a Caligula of Isabella’s Cookies!

Good Lord I have died and gone to heaven by the hands of Jennifer Palmer. She is the brains behinds Isabella’s Cookie Company. I’m very very picky when it comes to cookies. My deal breaker? If the cookie isn’t soft, then you suck. I was strolling around Whole Foods and miraculously found myself in the dessert section when I was really there for oranges and lemons. Dozens of items caught my attention but it was the simple cookie display of clear plastic bags of Isabella’s Cookie Company that physically drew me to take a closer look.
There are a number of different kinds of cookies to choose from. I was personally smitten with the The Shortcake so I snagged myself a bag. The cookies are made with white chocolate chunks, dried strawberries and milk chocolate covered strawberries. They were so so soft. Putting any amount of pressure on them and you’ll be sure to make some sort of damage to them. The cookies weren’t overly sweet and they weren’t oily on the bottom. You get huge chunks of chocolates and strawberries in each cookie.
Check out their site and see if the cookies are being sold at a store near you. If not, you can order online. They also have other options like gift baskets and frozen cookie dough!
I have fallen head over heels for these dang cookies!

I am the pickiest cookie eater ever. For example, I only like chocolate chip cookies if they are warm. Remember I was the only grandchild for 10 years so Grams loved me. Enough said right??? q:
I have been on a look out for these cookies since reading FTR Lucy Y’s awhile back and then from reading Craig R’s recent. I was finally going to somewhere where I knew they sold them (you can find this useful info out via there website) so I picked some up today on my trip to Bay Cities Deli in SM.
They had a good selection to choose from. I’d say at least 8 flavors. I really wanted the Maui Wowie but they didn’t have any.): So I went for the Original with walnuts and the Shortcake.
I would say that 2 of these cookies would be equivalent to a cupcake so with 9 – 10 cookies at $ 6 a bag I don’t think it’s a bad price. But if you are like Craig R and have trouble restraining yourself then yes these little cookies can carry a big price tag. q:
First I tried the Original (choc chips, pb chips, walnuts) and oh boy was this cookie good! And it wasn’t even warm! I even brought some to the fam and both my Aunt and Uncle after one bite said «Wow this is a good cookie».
Next was the Shortcake (white choc chips, choc covered and reg strawberries) which was also sooo good! This one surprisingly, was super rich I wasn’t able to finish my whole small cookie. Maybe it would have been a different story if I had some milk.
Best prepackaged cookies out there! Both cookies were super soft and super fresh with the right amount of mix ins. The flavor combos were right on and I am intrigued now to try all the flavors Isabella’s has to offer. And if you can’t finish them all in one sitting bust out your snapware to keep the fresh for days to come.
Anyway, if you are ever anywhere and you see these cookies pick your poison and take a bag or two home with you.
