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! read more

Very expensive but tasty. Looks like they use all fresh ingredients. Not sure if they are organic or not.

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 read more

Worst cookie ever. Too much salt. Do not taste as people claim it does. Recommend never buying.

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. read more

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. read more

every time i go to this place the cookies are outstanding... i usually roll with a dozen cc. never disappointed!!

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). read more

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! read more

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). :) read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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!!

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more
