A hidden gem; excellent cookies with a variety of flavors that range from rich and chocolatey to fruity! Price point is fair, with a similar pricing range as Insomnia cookies, and the Yelp check in offer puts it on top budget wise. Service is prompt, and the store is well kept. There's also an additional add on room to the main store for workshops! If you're looking for a baseline comparison, I'd rank this place over Crumbl. The smaller cookie size leads to a better crisp and cook overall. The mouthfeel is more like a cookie and less like melted cake as I feel with Crumbl. I'll definitely be coming back for more! read more

I stopped in with my family this evening to find that they are closed on Sundays. The owners, however, were present. To our amazement, they allowed us to go in and purchase day old cookies (as that was all they had available). This level of service is beyond heart warming. I love their cookies and will be a lifelong customer for this small act of kindness. Thank you Cookie Element! read more

A friend placed an order for a baby shower. Not only was everything adorable (A+ for design), but they were delicious! Things ordered: - custom sugar cookies: they were decorated beautifully and were so cute!! They were quite tasty too. - dipped pretzel: balance of sweet and savory and hit the spot. - chocolate chip cookie: no photo bc I snacked on it - but it was soft and delicious!! All in all definitely worth a visit to get cookies! read more

This cookie shop is truly a hidden gem nestled in a plaza location is closer by pollys business. I have been coming here for 5 years. My boss introduced me to this place. I come here for just about everything let's just be real honest. Lol ! Staff and Owners of this establishment are very pleasant and professional. Once I opened the door the aroma of sweets, jingle bells playing in the background. It is truly hard not indulge in every available dessert here and the spirit of Christmas... Ok, let's talk about the Desserts I come for thier Peanut Butter Cookies. There cookies are big double the size and taste like Peanut Butter. I've tried many places for fresh cookies and every time this place hits the spot ! "They were sold out tonight of thier Peanut Butter Cookies" I drove from Los Angeles. I asked for a Peanut Butter shake that was a no darn. However, I ended up buying all 4 chocolate Chip Peanut Butter, 2 oatmeal cookies, pistachio macroons.. they sell ice cream not many flavors but enough to choose something. They have a few tables to sit with your sweets or watch the ladies mixing and baking thru the glass windown. They also have a game or two sitting at tables. They offer catering. Orders online, gluten free baked goods, they are expanding there business next door. They will be offering baking classes soon. They are in the process of Figuring all things out. read more

The Cookie Element - Dozen Assorted Cookies (Vanilla Bean, Brown Butter Toffee, Salted Toffee and Snickerdoodle) - Desserts Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

This place is fantastic. Great cookies and excellent customer service! Plus, they have many different cookies to choose from!

The Cookie Element knows what they're doing when it comes to cookies. As you can see from my photos, I ordered practically every flavor they offer on a daily basis. Here is what I noticed that is fairly consistent in every cookie from The Cookie Element - crispy outside and chewy inside. When you put the two together, you make the perfect cookie (in my opinion)! There is an exception for the Peanut Butter Dipped Chocolate cookie where the center is not chewy and the outside is not crispy like the others. This one had more of a crumbly texture on the drier side and it was my least favorite. When you talk about flavors, that's a personal thing so I would go for any flavor that speaks to you. My personal favorites were Butter Toffee, Vanilla Bean, Snickerdoodle, and Cowboy Chocolate Chip! The Vanilla Bean and Snickerdoodle look thin, but the texture on those is so good! I love the cookies, decor, and the sweet owner Amy who explained every cookie to me when I was there on Valentine's Day. I highly recommend this place! TIP: they have stamp cards for every dozen cookie purchase. read more

Great customer service and really good cookies. Kids approved. Will be back sooner rather than later.

This place is just right by my kids art school and we went to check it out after class. They had a lot of favors sold out already since it's 7ish, but still have some very basic ones like oatmeal, chocolate chips, toffee chocolate, peanut butter, snick-doodle...they also have some seasonal favors like pumpkin spice cookies... They have a Friday family deal from 6-8pm 4 cookies for 10 dollars and if you check in on yelp, you will get a free one! Their cookies are decent size and moist and not overly sweet! They also have some cute cookie decorating kits and treats for Halloween. read more

Easily over a dozen of delicious cookies to choose from with also a variety of other baked goods. I ordered the cowboy oatmeal cookie. Texture was soft & with a bit of a crunch. The rich chocolate chips sweetens the cookie just right. I really like the taste of both oatmeal & classic chocolate chip cookie flavor in each bite. If you are looking for large orders they also have it available on hand. read more

The Cookie Element - Cowboy Oatmeal Cookie - Desserts Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

I was in the area and found this place on Yelp so I decided to try it. The interior was simple but neat and all the sweets looked delicious. I asked the employee what she recommended and she told me the Vanilla Bean cookie and Brown Butter Toffee cookie were her favorites. She said if I liked more chocolate chips, I should try another option but I liked the ones she recommended. I also got a red velvet whoopie pie since it had cream cheese frosting. I wasn't expecting too much but I LOVED it! The cookies were soft and fresh. I only meant to eat one but they were so good that I finished both cookies. The whoopie pie I ate the next day and it was still SO good. If it were closer, I would get these every week but I might just be willing to make the drive again because I can't stop thinking about them! So good!! And the employee was super nice and helpful as well! read more

The Cookie Element - macaron sampler IG: @parkmunchies - Desserts Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

I do like a good cookie. These are GREAT cookies. I journeyed here after reading the review of yelper and cookie connoisseur Sam B. and I wasn't disappointed (and you won't be either). Located in an unassuming strip mall, this store has a great selection of cookies and macarons. If you're in the mood for some ice cream sandwiched between a couple of cookies, they have that too. Staff here are very friendly and helpful. There are a couple tables located inside. I purchased half a dozen cookies. The flavors I chose were Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Chip M&M, Malted Milk Chocolate, Sea Salt White and Dark Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodle, and Brown Butter Toffee. All were excellent, each being a little crisp around the edges and otherwise chewy; not dry nor artificially soft. Perfect cookies. Especially enjoyable were the Malted Milk Chocolate which combined chocolate chips with the delicious flavor of malted milk and the Sea Salt White and Dark Chocolate Chip which combines the sweet and salty taste sensation that I particularly enjoy. The Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Chip M&M were crammed full of them; multiple chocolate chips in every bite. I'll leave the more detailed descriptions to an expert and encourage you to read Cookie Queen Sam B.'s review if you are a cookie lover. Meanwhile, if you like cookies - go here! read more

The Cookie Element - 11 cookies cut in half as a holiday desert platter - Desserts Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

The Cookie Element is by far the best cookie store I've been to in southern California. I love cookies, and in the last few months I've made it my mission to find the best cookies out there by trying different cookie stores in LA and Orange County, as well as ordering cookies online from famous out-of-state stores/ brands. I'm not sure why I never went to The Cookie Element before today, but I'm so glad I finally did! With the help of the super friendly employee, I picked out 5 delicious gourmet cookies, which only came out to $11. And the cookies all had the perfect texture- crispy around the edges and chewy on the inside, just how I like them. The following are the cookies I purchased in the order I ate them, and not by favorites (which would be too hard to decide)! 1. Vanilla Bean Sugar cookie was really good. The vanilla bean is distinct and makes the cookie taste slightly different from your typical sugar cookie, but in the best way possible. 2. Brown Butter toffee cookie was fantastic! But be warned- the brown butter & toffee flavors are really strong in this cookie, making it an extra sweet cookie. 3. Brown Butter Nutella cookie was divine. The combination of the brown sugar flavor with the nutella filling was perfect. The brown butter flavor wasn't as strong in this cookie as it was in the regular brown butter cookie, so the lightended brown butter taste paired really well with the chocolate chips and nutella filling. This one might have been my favorite! 4. Sour Cream Walnut cookie- The sour cream made the cookie fluffier than your typical cookie. It also had chocolate chips and walnuts in it. While it wasn't my favorite, have no doubt it was still a very good cookie. 5. Sea Salt White & Dark Choc Chip- Good but not great. I would have preferred if there was more sea salt or a higher white chocolate chip to dark chocolate ratio instead of the other way around. Not a cookie I would get again given all of the other amazing flavors they have here, and it might have been my least favorite of the five. Next Few Visits: 6. Snickerdoodle- good but didn't stand out from all the other snickerdoodles out in the world. 7. Whopper- This cookie is made with chocolate chips and malted milk, and was so so good! 8. Reece's- chocolate chip cookie base with semi sweet chocolate chips and reeces candy bits. Or was it Snickers? Honestly I don't remember. It was a good cookie but not one I feel the need to get again. 9. Peanut butter- wasn't really a fan. It just didn't stand out to me compared to their other cookies, or to other peanut butter cookies elsewhere. 10. Macarons- I tried a salted caramel and a lavendar macaron. The macarons are big and the texture was good. Unfortunately the taste was not- tasted overly like artificial sweetener. I have high standards when it comes to macarons so I won't be getting these again. Which is cook because I'm totally happy sticking to their awesome cookies! Favorites thus far: Brown butter toffee, Brown butter nutella, & Whopper. To put it simply, from here on out The Cookie Element will be my go-to-store when the cookie cravings hit. Which is pretty often for me ;) read more

Better than Crumbl by a mile. Super friendly staff with great recommendations. Plenty of options, even gluten-free! Definitely recommended.

Highly recommend their sugar cookie decorating kits! My boys love decorating (and eating ) sugar cookies during the holidays. I've purchased cookie kits from major grocery store chains in the past, but their cookies aren't edible. They are dry, flavorless and taste stale. Cookie Element's sugar cookies are so moist and full of flavor. Plus the butter cream frosting is smooth and tasty. The cookies are a good size too. Perfect for decorating. The kit came with everything needed: cookies, pre-bagged icing (4 colors/flavors) and a variety of sprinkles. The boys loved eating the cookies as much as they did decorating them. Will definitely purchase decorating kits from them on a regular basis. read more

Cookie tasted like stale bread. When I told them how it tasted I was told that is how it is supposed to taste. At $3 a cookie it should at least taste like a cookie. Will not be back. read more

Hooray for my 1400th review, which goes out to a special place that I love so much! This place is seriously SWEET...literally! They have an extensive selection of delicious cookies to choose from that are baked fresh every morning and taste like absolute heaven in your mouth! From crumbly peanut butter, to chewy snickerdoodle, to buttery toffee almond chocolate chip and unique flavors like rocky road, or seasonal pumpkin chocolate chip - this place has it all! Quite frankly, I have yet to find a cookie here that is anything short of phenomenal and I've now tried at least 20 different flavors because I'm hooked. My personal favorites are the butter toffee and oatmeal raisin, which both have great texture and balance to them. The prices are incredibly reasonable, considering the cookies are enormous. I swear, some are almost as big as my head! Most of the cookies average around $2, but they have this amazing deal where you can get two cookies, plus a cup of coffee or milk for only $5! Definitely a perfect snack to warm up with in the chilly winter, or just a nice pick-me-up in general. Recently, I ordered some custom frosted cookies for my kiddo's birthday. I worked directly with Amy, the store owner, who immediately felt like family and showed so much passion in executing my vision. She was extremely responsive and kept me up to date throughout the entire process leading up to my event. We went with a Toy Story theme and the cookies turned out fantastic! Our guests couldn't stop raving over how cute they looked and how great they tasted. I will definitely utilize them again for all my future custom cookie needs and would highly recommend them to others, considering I did my fair share of comparing and definitely found The Cookie Element to be the best value, based on the aesthetics/quality/taste of the cookies, their sanitary baking practices (compared to home bakers) and of course their stellar customer service! Besides cookies, they also sell a variety of beverages, macarons, ice cream and edible gift sets for all occasions. I really love the ambiance of this place, as it feels so warm, cozy and inviting. They even have board games for people to play, which is especially great for entertaining kids or just meeting up with people for long hangouts! The staff is super kind, friendly and always make me feel at home here. This place truly has all the right "elements" of an amazing shop, as it's run so professionally, yet still has such a personable charm and local small business vibe! I seriously just want to live here because this is such a happy place. Who couldn't use a little more sweetness in their life?! read more

The Cookie Element - Custom frosted cookies! The Cookie Element exceeded my expectations - to infinity and beyond!!! - Desserts Near Me - Yorba Linda, California

Had a family event and ordered 2 dozen cookies so that I wouldn't have to actually cook anything. Got a dozen chocolate chip and a dozen caramel apple. Picked them up and the presentation was cute. All the chocolate chip ones were in one box, and the caramel apple ones were so big and fluffy that they were separated into two boxes! Drove down to the event venue and got stuck in crazy bad traffic (Friday rush hour). I was frustrated and annoyed because the traffic was just that bad. At one point I was so irritated that I convinced myself that I was starving, and the only food I had was the cookies I had just picked up. I am generally not into cookies or baked goods, I just dont have much of a sweet tooth. But I tore into the caramel apple cookies and it was easily one of the besf cookies that I have ever had. It was so moist, and there were chunks of apple that made it even more tasty. Caramel is something I've never liked, but the caramel on these cookies weren't offputting at all. So, basically, by the time I got to the venue, two cookies had been eaten by me in the car during my emotional episode. Highly recommend the caramel apple cookies though!!! read more

The Cookie Element has gotten macarons down to a science! These little cookies are not easy to make . They have figured out how to make them slightly crispy on the outside and to have a nice chewy bite within the cookie and the frosting that holds the whole cookie together needs to be a high quality buttercream. The strawberry was so good. Try them ! Their other cookies are great too . I was just really impressed with their macarons read more

Yummy cookies! I got chocolate chip/peanut butter cookie. It was good and I can definitely taste the butter in the cookie- maybe a bit too much for me, but splurging every once in awhile is ok. I got my OTM four macrons, which was very generous of them. See pics below. Very beautiful macrons in a cute box. It's ready to be gifted. read more

Love cookie element! We come here all the time after our art class in the center, and it's a favorite for everyone. Amazingly delicious cookies - totally homemade, fresh, and tons of variety. The best possible comfort food. We also just did a corporate event here, and the staff had a blast decorating cookies! They also delivered ice cream sandwiches, which were a huge hit on a hot day. We bought some cute paint-your-own cookie packets as well which people loved. Lauren was a joy to work with. Everything was easy peasy, and I am so grateful. Cookie element is the best! read more

Our soccer team hosted a sugar cookie decorating party for the holidays at their store. What a phenomenal experience. The store took care of every detail. For $20 per girl, they each got 3 cookies to decorate. They started with a frosting piping worksheet. Our host demonstrated over a projector to give the girls confidence. They had the best time. The shop provided snacks and lemonade and the private room was festive. I would highly recommend the shop for your private party (mom's night out, scout experience, private birthday party, team party, etc.) The staff is friendly, accommodating and helpful. read more

This review is based on the Macarons .. I found that although the macarons are aesthetic pleasing to the eyes. They ended up being dry and overly sweet.

this place is more like a 3.75 out of 5 stars. i was shopping at tokyo central across the street and i was craving cookies. i don't know if they change the selections each day, but when i went they had an assortment of around 10 different flavors. I ended up getting: White Chocolate/Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Vanilla Bean Sugar Toffee with almond peanutbutter. My favorite was definitely the vanilla bean sugar cookie. it was light and fluffy. the white/black chocolate cookie was a bit harden, but then again i can't except for soft cookies if they didn't come right out of the oven. They also sell other confectionery goods such as cake pops, macarons and rice crispies. They even serve fosselmans icecream. you can get scoops, or you can make an ice cream sandwich using cookies. fosselman is a staple of the 626, they've been around for close to 100 years.. so they must be doing something right when it comes to ice cream. read more

Oh how sweet it is to visit The Cookie Element on Valentine's Day. We stopped by here for some sweet treats. I've had this spot bookmarked for awhile. The bakery is small and has a cute interior. Upon arriving, we were greeted by a nice female employee. My eyes were wide open as I saw the large variety of cookie options. All the flavors are on display so you can easily select your favorites. I wanted to get one of each. They have cookies, brownies and macarons. All goodies are baked fresh daily on site. The flavors change seasonally. We tried the classic flavors: oatmeal raisin and snickerdoodle. Both were soft and chewy. These two characteristics are important in a good cookie. You can tell the recipe is made from scratch. So delicious! My sweet tooth was definitely happy. The inventory was pretty low because it was a holiday. We wanted some chocolate chip cookies but they were completely sold out. The holiday butter cookie was just ok. We will be back to try more cookie flavors! read more

Bad news! After about a year of enjoying their cookies, it appears a recipe change or a new baker has taken liberties with the once PERFECT chocolate chip m&m cookie. Today I traveled from Rancho Cucamonga after pre-ordering a half dozen of these pieces of cookie heaven, only to have received crunchy, overcooked, and thin m&m chocolate chip cookies. So sad, these were once worth the drive! I asked the cashier and she said "sorry that's all we have" :-( read more
