Cookie Monster

Desserts, desserts, desserts!! There really is no end to the creativity and amount of dessert places in LA.

One of my more recent discoveries is a cookie place. Not diddy riese type, but literally cookies. Fresh baked, thick, moist delicious cookies in SO MANY FLAVORS. It's like a Sprinkles, but for cookies.

This place is called Deluscious Cookies. Just the name makes your mouth water. Now, I've never been here, or tried any of their cookies, but it was featured on My L.A. a while ago and these cookies just looked delicious. Best description--gourmet cookies. I've seen pictures of them and the fact that they look so imperfect and breakable proves that not only are they totally fresh, but they're made with the best ingredients. Here's what their website has to say about themselves:

"At DeLuscious, our more than 24 enticing flavors will satisfy your desire for something extraordinary and keep you coming back for more. Made from scratch, our cookies are always baked fresh for each order. You won't find any fillers, hydrogenated oils or corn syrup in our cookies. We only use premium chocolates, Grade AA sweet cream butter and pure cane sugars."

How does that sound for home baked? I've never heard of a cookie shop. I mean, a cookie shop? Can you get any more clever than that? And just like any high-end bakery, everything is perfectly pretty and wrapped and there are a ton of flavors to choose from. Deluscious has 24 of them. I'm sorry if I sound dessertly-ignorant, but the only cookie flavors I know are chocolate chip, macadamia nut, oatmeal and chocolate. But not only does this place have the basics but when we get to their "couture cookies" (okay, the fact that they use the word 'couture' when referring to cookies says enough about this place) things get tricky. Their "couture" list includes: butterscotch walnut, chocolate bing cherry, reese's peanut butter chocolate, wild blueberry lemon white chocolate (?!?!?!), chocolate white chocolate raspberry, banana mango coconut, pumpkin spice, red velvet, apricot marzipan almond, and of course the list goes on! These are flavors I would've never thought of to put into cookies, or any baked good for that matter.


Is this not the most ridiculous list of flavors you've ever seen?! These are just cookies. Some brains these guys must have.

But this place is not, I repeat, not by any means cheap and their are quite a bit of flaws with their system. First of all, a basic dozen is $38.95 and their specialty dozen is $42.95. Quite expensive if you ask me and you must order your cookies. You can't buy them in store. I guess it's a freshness factor. You also must order at least a dozen. How annoying right?! So you're telling me I have to spend $40 every time I come in there when I don't even need 12 cookies? Yeah, that's the catch. No individual cookies. Lame, I know. But I guess once is no big deal just to try 'em out.

They deliver their cookies to your house and deliver milk as well. Yum. You can also pick them up in store and in-store pick up orders must be placed 2 hours in advance.

I'm so intrigued by this place and am definitely gonna go in the near future. These cookies sound delicious, or should I say deluscious. If you've got $40+ bucks to kill, 11 people with a sweet tooth and time to drive to LA, I highly suggest this place. If you get to go before me, please let me know if these cookies are everything they're cracked up to be. Testimonials are always welcome on my blog :D
