The cookies here are the best! Locally made and good to support local small businesses I remember when they were out of a warehouse in Waipahu near the Sugar Mill Lemon is my favorite Light and buttery I think her cookies also are sold in Carousel Candy in Kahala Mall or they used to sell them Try them if you haven't! read more

My daughter took me to lunch recently and after lunch, we went to the Cookie Lady's shop. I haven't bought cookies from there since they moved from Waipahu! I bought my husband's favorite, Peanut Butter Cookies and Almond Cookies. They were so onolicious! If you're ever in the area they're located on Sheridan Street, do stop by and look at all the cookies available that they make and sell! read more

I was in the shopping mall picking up sandwiches from Li's Banh Mi. The wait was about 29 minutes so I walked around the building and saw The Cookie Lady. I like all types of cookies, shall, big, thin, thick, soft or crunchy. The Cookie Lady is primarily a thin and very crunchy cookie. I picked out two bags of cookies: Oatmeal Raisin ($11.50 per bag) and a bag of imperfect cookies which slightly less expensive ($8.50 per bag). The imperfect cookies were chocolate chip cookies. They are nice and crunchy, sweet and very small chocolate chips so you don't really taste them. The oatmeal cookies were thin, crunchy and sweet. I couldn't really taste the oatmeal. I liked the crunchiness and sweetness of both cookies. If you like thin and crunchy cookies, The Cookie Lady is definitely a cookie shop you will want to try. read more

Came across this store while we were at another japanese cafe nearby. The sign caught my eye as I wanted to pick up some eats that are local and support small businesses in Hawaii. We went in and I knew already that I was going to leave with multiple items. The store was very open and colorful and had a great selection of different flavors. We were able to try and sample some from the lovely staff and decided on the corn flakes and mac nut ones. They were super crisp and had flavors that we haven't tried before so it was truly a unique experience. Highly recommend this as a gift to bring back! read more

Be awhile buying . Just a coincidence eating piece of paper knowing workers there are very careful baking etc .

Since I was having lunch next door with my good friend @ Sushi Maruyamas decided to bring home some dessert. Originally the Cookie Lady was located in Waipahu industrial area . I believe she sold the company to the new owner and they moved to the 808 Sheridan building but kept the name and also the same recipe. Friendly service once I entered they welcomed me but I knew exactly what to order . My favorite is Lemon cookies and cornflakes. If your in the area try these cookies it's very good thin and crispy. Especially I prefer crispy versus soft center so I love it . Support local read more

Something fruity is going on here... The Cookie Lady Hawaii is a simple organic name for a sweet biz but there nothing simple baking up here, located on the third floor in the 808 Center this little shop is filled with bags of goodies and gosh what a treat! This June 2023 flavor of the month is Fruity Cookie yuuuummm! No I didn't get that one today as Matcha had already caught my eye..."for those who know me" and these thin and crispy treats really hit the spot. With very simple layout it's either a full sized bag or a smaller snack pack which is what I did today for just a little dip as if I got the bag omg! These cookies aren't the giant loaded up but thin to be almost a cracker...for those who's never had one I apologize cause it's gone nothing to show but trust me saying it was so yummy! Flavor of the month cookie has some fruit cereal topping that brings a fun birthday party vibe, there's also Lilikoi, Lemon, Chocolate Chip, even Cookie Lady Special follow them on Instagram @thecookieladyhawaii for all the latest on The Cookie Lady Hawaii.

Looking for crispy, flaky, and buttery homemade-type cookies? Look no further than The Cookie Lady Hawaii, located on the 3rd floor of 808 Sheridan! Its original owner and baker, Dale Muramoto, first opened the Cookie Lady Hawaii in 2009 in Waipahu. She was a career woman, having worked in dental offices, banks, credit union, and even worked as a cafeteria worker and cleaned planes at the airport. And she loved to bake, as it was her hobby, as well as to relieve stress. She made these treats for her two young children and also made goodie baskets for friends on special occasions. As her daughter, Terilyn Lee, grew older, she suggested that she open her own business. Over the years, The Cookie Lady Hawaii offered about 14 varieties of delicious cookies that included: chocolate chip, shortbread mac nut, lemon, peanut butter, cornflake, oatmeal, furikake mix, shortbread arare, and sprinkled. Dale used her personal family recipes that were refined over time, and as a result, her cookies were made out of love. At age 69, Dale decided to retire. With the thought of ending the business, one of her loyal customers came to the rescue. The business was sold to Maiko and Keijiro Ushijima during the summer of 2021. The Ushijima's had moved to HI from Japan in 2017 due to Keijiro's job, and Maiko's love for these cookies prompted her to take an interest in the business. She noted that she had taken these cookies back to Japan for omiyage, and the recipients loved them! There was a condition, however, with the selling of the business. The same recipes were to be used in making the original flavors, and that the cookies were to be made out of love. The Ushijima's agreed to maintain the same inventory, but moved the business to 808 Sheridan to a more centralized location in Honolulu and to broaden its selection of cookie offerings. Lilikoi and matcha flavors were added. And you may even find Dale periodically assisting Maiko at the shop, offering her assistance and quality control skills. Look for these addictive cookies in its signature red bags, plastic jars, and in sampler bags. Simple party favors can also be requested. I've tried the lemon cookies, which is noted as the most popular flavor. They were delicious, light, crispy, not overly sweet, and sprinkled with powdered sugar with a hint of lemony taste. So easy to eat the whole bag by yourself! The store is clean and spacious, with shelves displaying the many different flavors of cookies. You'll meet friendly and personable Maiko, who eagerly wants to assist you. She is most happy to provide a 10% kamaaina discount off of the red bags only. Hours of operation are from Tues to Sat, 10a to 5p, Sun/Mon closed; hours may vary during the holiday season. There is limited parking available within the structure that is shared with other businesses, as well as metered street parking. Wishing continued success to the Ushijima's in their local small business! Support local! I look forward in returning to try The Cookie Lady Hawaii's other flavors, including its #1 seller, the cornflake cookies! read more

"Me want cookie!" - Cookie Monster Now located on the third floor of the 808 Center, The Cookie Lady Hawaii, is in the perfect position for us townies to get more well-known locally-made crisp cookies that, for years, have shown up as gifts, family, or office gatherings, potlucks, or picnics. The Cookie Lady Hawaii was formerly located in Waipahū. Still, we had never been to her shop, yet we've enjoyed annual assortments of this business' cookies at former office parties or as Christmas gifts. We stumbled upon this relocation when we considered having lunch at the 808 Center and serendipitously ran into a friend who changed our cuisine choice from Szechuan to Vietnamese. As we climbed the stairs to the top floor of the 808 Center, we were "greeted" by a wooden A-frame sandwich board advertising The Cookie Lady Hawaii's location at the east corner end. We were more driven by our hunger for a savory meal but kept this business in mind for dessert but vowed to return. A single salesperson/cashier was assisting a customer when we entered the store, so we just browsed the shelves to see what flavors were available. If you're looking for soft, chewy cookies, you will not find them here. This business' specialty is CRISP and crunchy textured drop cookies. The cookies have a homemade flavor and are sold in various container sizes by weight. The saleswoman asked if we had flavor preferences and offered to assist us with our selections. We eventually chose a bag each of Lemon-Flavored (5.5 oz) and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip (6 oz) cookies priced at $10.35 apiece. Again, since the cookies are SOLD BY WEIGHT, don't expect the same amount or size of cookies of flavored cookies as those with nuts, dried fruits, mochi crunch, or chocolate chips. But the cookies are all so tasty that they'll disappear quickly no matter how many are in each container. This shop also has tables and chairs where you can sit and enjoy your cookies with a hot or cold beverage from their menu. There is an attached parking structure for the 808 Center, but I don't have any validation or payment information about because we usually come by foot. read more

Possibly the best cookies on Oahu... The Cookie Lady recently moved to Honolulu from Waipahu! The cute shop is currently located on the third floor of the 808 Sheridan Center - the same level as Sushi Murayama and Le's Bahn Mi. I saw a post on Instagram and felt happy that these cookies are closer to me...for gift giving! I'm afraid to open a bag for myself because the bag will soon be empty of those delicious, crunchy treats! I usually park for free on Sheridan Street. One side of the street (next to Walmart) has metered parking and the other side doesn't. Choose wisely! Service is cheerful and efficient! Stop by and get a bag of the Chocolate Chip Cookies or the Lemon Flavored Cookies! The Furikake Mix Cookies and Cornflake Cookies are also popular! Note: closed on Sundays and Mondays. Open from 10am to 5pm. read more

We have tried the Cookie Lady before, and love the cookies! We were interested in getting party favors for our wedding. However, they only package the same kind of cookie. We wanted to be able to order 50 of 3 different kinds of cookies (150 total), but were told they would t package different cookies in one bag. Not the best way to serve a party favor, so we decided to not order from them. read more

Best COOKIE ever! Oh my gosh, I don't even know how to describe the cookies here. It's very light, airy, CRISPY!! I love it so much that I had to come back the next day. I wish I got more varieties to try! Gave them to our family and friends and they really enjoyed it. This is a mass when visiting Honolulu! Customer service was nice ish, but he didn't talk that much! read more

I was sad when they had to close the original location for The Cookie Lady Hawaii an so excited that they have reopened in a location closer to Waikiki! Parking isn't as easy here as it was in the old location and although it's new ownership, the cookies taste the same! They seem to have more of a limited supply of the different options as we were looking for more of the larger plastic containers as they are easier to transport back to the mainland, but were glad to see they still sold the larger containers as their website didn't mention those containers. My favorite are the lemon cookies and the cornflake! Their cookies are not soft and chewy but thinner and crispy. Try them out, I love them and stop to buy some every time I'm on the island!! read more

A friend gave me some Cornflake cookies years back and I thought it was the best cookies I've ever had! I've always told myself whenever I go back to Oahu, I must stop by Cookie Lady Hawaii to buy some Cornflake cookies to bring back. Well, I did finally come back to Oahu, and I came to Cookie Lady Hawaii the day before I had to leave Oahu. I looked around the store... and there were no cornflake cookies to be found! The girl working there told me they were all sold out for the day, and they'll stock them again tomorrow afternoon. My heart was crushed... my flight is at noon the next day so there was no way to get the cookies on this trip. That is until the girl kindly asked when my flight is and chatted with someone in the kitchen. She told me they can have cornflake cookies ready when they open tomorrow at 10am. I was overjoyed, and I did not care if I was going to be late for my flight LOL. She took down my name and how much I planned to buy. I got to the store as soon as they opened the next day, and they had the cookies ready for me! Thank you so so much to the girl helping me, and to the owners and kitchen staff for accommodating my schedule. This was very kind and meant a lot to me! I will definitely be back again! read more

I needed to buy something local to bring back to the office and a bag of the Cookie Lady Hawaii cookies did the trick. The cookies were thin and crispy and pretty darn good. I brought back a bag of the Furikake Mix and wanted to also purchase a bag of the Mochi Krunch but that was still being baked in the oven and we didn't have time to wait for it. Needless to say, the office was happy and satisfied with the Furikake Mix cookies. read more

I found this business by fluke when looking for little Christmas gifts to give to friends. The store is located on the third floor of the building- just go up the stairs to the top floor. Stock was a little scarce given that it was a week till Christmas. They were sold out of their monthly flavor, but I decided on the cornflake cookies since that seemed to be the popular flavor everyone reviews. I bought two bags- one for us, and one to give away to a friend. They were very delicious! Definitely crispy kine cookies, but delightfully so! The cornflakes add even more crunch. $11 for a bag of 10 or so seemed reasonable. Parking is a bit of a pain though. And the owner wasn't as friendly as I was hoping. Maybe holiday stress? She was all business and no chit chat. Kind of stern. read more

First, let me preface by saying I prefer chewy cookies over crispy ones. However, The Cookie Lady Hawaii's cookies are insanely delicious and addicting! My favorites are the lemon, chocolate chip with mac nuts, and sprinkle...however they're all really good!..and that's coming from a person that typically enjoys chewy cookies. I'm afraid to ask what the nutritional values are..maybe that's why it's not posted on the container. Give these cookies a try and you'll be hooked! Just a side note, since these cookies are crispy, they can break easily. If you're gift giving, keep that in mind if presentation matters. read more

We love their cookies from way back. My mother in laws favorite is the cornflake cookies. I Iove their crunchy oatmeal cookies. So hard to limit the number of bags (2-3) I pick up each time I visit and so hard to whittle it down as all the cookies are so good. We can't stop at eating one cookie. Parking is limited (while hubby waits in the car) , so I usually run up to the 3rd floor to pick up the cookies and banh mi sandwiches also in the same floor. read more

I love their story. Mom started baking cookies as a hobby, then started to sell them by word of mouth, then they opened shop in Waipahu where they also bake their cookies, and now they're available in retail shops like Carousel Candyland in Kahala Mall, Samurai Snacks, Hilo Hattie, Matsumoto Shave Ice, and a few other places. But, no sense in paying retail price when you can buy them direct from their shop in Waipahu. If you're not familiar with Waipahu, you should definitely use the map function on your Yelp app, because I get lost trying to find this place from memory. Flavors available: lemon (best seller), cornflake, almond, chocolate chip, peanut butter chocolate chip, peanut butter, chocolate chip with mac nuts, rice krispies, oatmeal raisin, fruity pebbles, sprinkles, mochi crunch Packages are $6.50 (10 cookies), jars are $25 (50-60 cookies). She's so popular that she starts taking orders for the holidays usually around now (end of summer) and stops taking orders when she's reached capacity. They make great gifts for the holidays or for any occasion. Many have asked, and unfortunately they do not ship to the mainland (cookies are too fragile). My personal faves: LEMON, ALMOND! read more

Scrumdillyumptious! Melt in your mouth goodness. I almost finished a bag all by myself. I couldn't wait to return home and eat it up with a glass of milk. There are all sorts of flavored cookies from mochi crunch cookies to the normal flavor chocolate chip. Today was my first time and I'm in love with first bite. I asked the cookie lady what is the most popular flavors, she told me furukaki and the lemon cookie. I only had $10 (she only takes cash or check) so I decided to try a flavor that I usually like, sprinkle cookies. A bag cost $6.50. I'm going back to try the rest of the cookies. Hopefully, I'll make in time to try out the other flavored smaller bags. It's 3 cookies for $2. read more

After making a trip to the Waipahu transfer station (dump) I decided to hunt down this cookie shop which I noticed got very good reviews. It is a few streets back from the highway and easy to miss as it is literally in a warehouse. The storefront is little more than two sets of shelving and a cashier with an ipad. I picked up all of the popular flavors including lemon, cornflake and almond. I was not impressed by any of them unfortunately. They tasted rather bland and had nothing special that I could notice aside from the nice packaging. I can make better cookies than those. Overall, maybe it just gets high reviews because it is out on the west side where good desserts are scarce or maybe it is just overrated. Either way, one trip was enough for me. read more

What I love about small businesses is that you not only get quality products, but you also see the joy in the owners who produce them. Their passion shines through and I admire that. With that said, these cookies are simple yet unique, and genuinely addicting. Reminds me of Kauai Kookies but better. Apparently they've been around for sometime, but I guess I've been living under a rock. Lol. Again, it's a small business and a little on the pricier end, but I'm all about supporting them when I'm craving some crunchy snacks!! :) I liked most of the things I bought, but so far my most favorite is the Furikake mix cookie. read more

Support local, and support small business everyone! If you can, I definitely recommend splurging on some cookie lady hawaii cookies. They're not even expensive, especially for the work that must go into making them. I bake sometimes, especially lately since it's the holidays. If I made money for what I baked, that stuff would be expensive because it's a pain in the darn butt to set everything up, actually bake, clean up, wait for things to cool, and package. Anyone who cooks MUST know what I mean. You know why you rarely feel like eating something you cooked? Because you're too tired! Anyways, I digress. I'm just saying that these cookies are worth the price for their quality and packaging. I think the package is thick so it's also perfect to send overseas. I really wish I wrote this review pre-Christmas. The cookies themselves are so tasty. They're crunchy, flavorful, and sweet, but they don't make your lips pucker with extra sweetness. You know how Asian desserts are always less sweet but still hit the spot? These cookies are similar to that. They're the perfect dessert, but not overly indulgent in any way. Lemon is the way to go if you're wondering what to choose-- but I doubt you can go wrong with any flavor! read more

As soon as you step foot in Cookie Lady, you are in cookie heaven. I love cookies and walking in the entrance of Cookie Lady with that wonderful fresh baked smell makes me feel like Cookie Monster. It makes me feel like I want to devour every single cookie there. I think I first tried Cookie Lady cookies when someone brought some to work. It was their famous lemon cookies. After that taste, there was no turning back. I haven't tried all of the flavors but of the ones I've tried they are delicious. The lemon ones are the best to me. They are extra buttery and lemony and sprinkled with white powdered sugar. If you're not into the lemon, the cornflake ones are also very good. Cookie Lady makes all kinds of concotions of cookies that I've never seen at other cookie vendors. They have fruitty pebbles, arare, or furikake. We used the Cookie Lady cookies for our rehearsal dinner favors a few years ago. Cookie Lady sells in all sorts of sizes. The one we got came in an individual pack of two cookies. We have half of our guests with lemon and half of them cornflake. Not many people at the party heard about them but after they tried it, they were very interested to know where it was located. Their prices are very reasonable. I got a whole bag of 10 cookies for $6.50 versus going to Cookie Corner and getting a cup for about $9.00. And what's even better is that every week in Midweek they have a coupon. If you buy three bags, you get a fourth bag free. What a deal! I got that deal this week. It was wonderful. Cookie Lady is a little far from town, but I work in Waipahu so it's pretty much down the road. I've read other reviews that said they sell it at Carousel Candyland, but I bet it's not the same. I'm sure you can't smell those fresh baked cookies and you won't get that warm homey kind of feeling when you enter. So go on and drive to Waipahu to pick up some cookies from Cookie Lady! read more

When I hear people say they've never heard of or tried The Cookie Lady cookies before, it complete shocks me. I love cookies--soft and chewy and crispy. I love em all! But if you're all about crispy, melt in your mouth, flavorful cookies, you need these cookies in your life. I can honestly say that these cookies are my favorite and the best cookies I've ever had. Like ever. I know that's a huge claim, but it's true. I live in town and I never ever venture out towards the west side. But some times I'll justify making a trip out that way so I can go pick up some cookies from The Cookie Lady because they're that good. However, I recently learned that Carousel Candy in Kahala Mall now sells The Cookie Lady cookies. I haven't taken a trip to Kahala Mall yet, but I'm definitely curious to see what they have in stock. But one caveat that I forgot to mention when I posted this review earlier is that it costs a little more at Carousel Candy than if you purchase directly from The Cookie Lady warehouse in Waipahu. I don't know exactly how much more, but something to keep in mind. Their most popular flavor is the lemon and their second most popular is the cornflake. So far I have tried their lemon, fruity pebbles, chocolate chip, furikake mix, and cornflake. All were amazing! I recently found out that on Saturdays, The Cookie Lady makes mini breads! This Saturday (08/19/2017) I was able to get a banana apple blueberry bread. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm pretty sure it'll be tasty! If you're in the Waipahu area or at Kahala Mall, I would definitely pick up a bag or three or maybe even the large container of cookies because they're so good, they won't last long! read more

The Cookie Lady Hawaii - Got a bunch of The Cookie Lady cookies for an event. - Desserts Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Very stingy management!!! I was looking to buy some gifts for friends and was seriously thinking getting a few bags of the cookies. The store has a sampling station set up, so I thought great, I can sample and choose the flavors I want to gift. When we asked who appeared to be the owner if that's the sample station, we were told no. We were perplexed, then we saw her giving cookie samples to two kids. Then upon second inquiry, we were told the samples are only for kids. I mean I understand kids deserve the best, but there's no need to be so stingy with your cookies to serious potential buyers. Seems bad business practice. I guess I will never find out how special these cookies are! I ended up going to Neiman Marcus getting some Mac nut yoku moku cookies as gifts for my friends. read more

Amazing cookies. Stumbled across the little store and so so happy. Try the cornflake cookies. To die for!!!

Maiko made my sons wedding favors and they turned out perfect! Maiko is very detail oriented and also gave me advice.

Thank you, again Maiko and your girls! read more

The Cookie Lady Hawaii is the pinnacle of perfection in my book! Seriously, if you could package what "HEAVEN" tasted like, it would be these cookies! I discovered these delectable delights from an advertisement for the shop's Grand Opening back in March and decided to check it out and have been addicted since! I was able to try the "Lemon ", "Corn Flake", and "Chocolate Brownie" and they were all EXCELLENT! The "Lemon" and "Corn Flake" both MELT IN YOUR MOUTH while the "Chocolate Brownie" is like the BROWNIE EDGES of a pan of freshly baked brownies!!!! The charming shop is located in a newly developed, industrial neighborhood in Waipahu (near Golden Coin Restaurant) and as soon as you approach the entrance, the aroma of these goodies will instantly draw you in =) I was recently able to go back to the store and met the "The Cookie Lady" herself! She is perhaps one of the sweetest, most personable women you'll ever meet =). She was kind enough to let me try the "Mochi Krunch" and I ended up leaving with a new favorite cookie! They are the PERFECT BALANCE of SWEET and SALTY with that same MELT IN YOUR MOUTH element as the "Lemon" and "Corn Flake" cookies. I look forward to my next visit and can't wait to try the other flavors as I'm sure they won't disappoint =). 5 Stars in my book! read more

While i was sick at home today, i had a very strong craving for some deserts. I wasn't craving anything in particular. i Know, not shave ice or anything cold and i came across the cookie lady in yelp on my iphone app. It was about 415pm and i said better go before they close. I slapp on some clothes and try to find the place. I only live about 5 minutes away but got lost finding the place. Once my google maps told me where it was, i found it. I step inside and surprise to find the owner there cleaning up and closing for the day. She let me sample the almond to let me know whats the texture of her cookies. She said her most popular is the Lemon and second is the Almond. The flavor of the month was furikake chex mix and i couldn;t pass that up. It was either that or the Mochi Krunch with the chocolate chips in it. Over all, ive found the Omiyagi gift i can bring to outer island and to the mainland without spoiling or requiring refrigeration. read more

We recently discovered the Cookie Lady Hawaii at her bakery in a warehouse-like building, in a newer, light-industrial area of Waipahu, near the Filipino Community Center. Because her addictive cookies are not mass-produced and are literally made by hand, she cannot produce sufficient quantities to wholesale. As a result, the only place to get her cookies is at this Waipahu location. The good-sized cookies are sold in bags (around 10 cookies per bag?) for $5.00 each. They're also available in large plastic jars. The varieties topped with breakfast cereals - Fruity Pebbles, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes - are my favorites. The Mochi Krunch and Lemon are really good, as well. I believe these are all the same basic cookie, but with different toppings. It's a light and crunchy melt-in-your-mouth cookie. I usually like Peanut Butter cookies, but I thought that her Peanut Butter and Peanut Butter/Chocolate Chip cookies were too hard and crunchy, without the melt-in-your-mouth quality of her other cookies. Likewise, her Chocolate Brownie Cookie (a special Flavor of the Month) was also quite hard. Because they're relatively new (open since March 2010), and not widely available, these cookies make excellent gifts, whether for friends on the Mainland, Neighbor Islands or even on Oahu. We got the same reaction from everyone we gave these cookies to - they couldn't stop eating them. It's well worth the drive to Waipahu, however, unless you already plan to be in the area, I would highly recommend calling the bakery before making the drive (30+ minutes from Honolulu under normal traffic conditions). On more than one occasion, the Cookie Lady Hawaii had little or no stock on hand when we've visited the store. read more
