Cookies have a nostalgic sentiment for many, which brings back warm and fuzzy feelings of childhood and family. Remember when grandma and grandpa would bake cookies and serve them on a plate with a cold glass of milk? Those were the days.
Gifting cookies is a great way to express love to the special people in our lives. Here is a list of where to find cookies in Wichita that we love to gift and to satisfy our own cookie cravings.
Bakesale Treat Parlor
Take your cookie crew to Bakesale Treat Parlor for premium dessert options that change often with new creations and flavor combinations. The menu always features a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie made from a massive scoop of delicious cookie dough, a spiral brookie (chocolate brownie+chocolate chip cookie) = (a combination chocolate brownie and chocolate chip cookie) and one of their unique stuffed cookies. A recent menu included cheesecake stuffed funfetti cookies, chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies as well as traditional cookies in peanut butter, hot chocolate or granola flavors. Good luck choosing!
Monica’s Bundt Cake
Don’t let the name fool you, Monica's Bundt Cake does more than cakes. This is one of the city’s top bakeries for special events. Locals order birthday cakes, custom decorated cookies and holiday desserts from Monica’s. Fortunately, they also carry items in their case daily to satisfy your cookie craving. Try a cookie monster or edible cookie dough cupcake or pick up a soft, chewy chocolate chip or iced sugar cookie. They also offer cookie decorating kits themed to holidays throughout the year, from Valentine’s Day to Christmas.
Bagatelle Bakery
Bagatelle Bakery has display cases full of amazing pastries including crave-worthy cookies. This family-owned-and-operated bakery has a cookie for every taste. Try their traditional cookies in an assortment of flavors: white chocolate, M&M, toffee, oatmeal raisin and more. They also make tea cookies, from a chocolate butter cookie to fruit-filled thumbprints or Mexican wedding cookies. You’ll also find cookies the kids will love at Easter, Halloween and other holidays
Cocoa Dolce Chocolates
Although Cocoa Dolce (Bradley Fair, New Market Square and Old Town) is known for its array of chocolates, this shop has delicious cookies to add to the mix. The chocolatier offers an assortment of dense, rich cookies such as signature chocolate chip and red velvet. You’ll also find seasonally decorated sugar cookies and a rotation of fun flavors. Try them all with a cookie box that allows you to choose your own or go with the pre-selected assortment. Either way, you can’t go wrong!
Andy's Frozen Custard
It’s hard to beat cookies and ice cream, and lucky for visitors we enjoy cold desserts year-round in the Heart of the Country. You can have it all at Andy's Frozen Custard (College Hill, East and West), where they’ll whip up a concrete mixed with chocolate chip cookie dough, a strawberry Oreo cookie shake or any number of frozen custard creations incorporating cookies. Watch their seasonal menu for cookielicious concoctions like the Cookie Casanova Sundae made with vanilla frozen custard and warm chocolate chip cookies covered with your choice of hot fudge or crème caramel.
If you’re the kind of person who would pick where you’re having a meal based on the dessert menu (no judgment here), you can find cookie desserts at Wichita restaurants, too. There’s a terrific chocolate chip cookie to accompany your Famous #8 at The Artichoke Sandwichbar and a hot-outta-the-oven, gooey chippy cookie topped with vanilla ice cream at Oak & Pie, among others.
