Gooey chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven then delivered to your doorstep. Can you think of anything better? We found Gideon’s Bakehouse through Instagram of all places and immediately fell in love with their cookies. After seeing some images and reading their story I knew we had to get our hands on these delicacies!

Over 100 years ago the owners of Gideon’s Bakehouse purchased what they thought was a family cookbook from 1898. It turned out to be the diary of a young boy named Gideon who dreamed of opening a bakery to bring his family out of poverty. They’ve since combined his vintage desserts with modern recipes and a century later Gideon’s Bakehouse was born.

Gideon’s takes orders about once a month and exclusively online, and orders sell out fast. Gideon’s was kind enough to work us in this month and hand-delivered six of the most heavenly cookies to our doorstep. I don’t even know where to begin; words can’t justify the incredible flavor we experienced.

Our box was filled with Chocolate Chip Cookies, Triple Chocolate Chip and Cookies & Cream. I’ve never tasted cookies this delectable. Their Chocolate Chip Cookie was a work in progress for 15 years. You can taste ever tweak, ingredient revision and mixing adjustment in this cookie. In addition to the chocolate chips inside the cookie, Gideon’s places big fat chocolate chips on the outside after the cookie has cooled. This classic cookie is topped with sea salt chunks and is the softest melt-in-your-mouth cookie you’ll ever taste.

The Triple Chocolate cookie was just as delectable and made up of different chips, cacao, and chocolate ganache all blended together for the perfect chocolate explosion. The Triple Chocolate is then topped with sea salt and is equally fabulous as its cousin, The Chocolate Chip Cookie. Gideon’s suggested pairing this cookie with their Original Peanut Butter Iced Coffee. Oh my. We can’t wait to get our hands on that!

After devouring both flavors in about a minute we moved onto the Cookies & Cream. A self-described “happy accident,” this cookie replaces the chocolate chips with hand cut chunks of cookies and cream and is then rolled in cookie crumbs! It’s perfection in a ball of dough and you’ll never want to eat the ice cream version again. The Cookies & Cream arrived warm and soft and makes you wish that calories didn’t exist.

I could go on but I’ll stop gushing over the goodness so you can order your own Gideon’s Bakehouse cookies. We’re dying to try their Dark Chocolate Toffee Pistachio cookie and the Cookie Cake all washed down with their Fire and Ice Coffee. Oh yeah. In the meantime, we’ll be dreaming of Gideon’s sugary goodness and their fabulous cookie creations. GideonsBakehouse.com and @GideonsBakehouse (Instagram)

    So I had heard a lot of hype about these cookies being a big fan of sweets, and like you decided to give them a try. I am amazed by every bite and end feeling satiated! There is no other cookie I have tasted in my life that compares and I would highly recommend Gideon’s Bakehouse to anyone who is looking for the best cookie on earth!

    I came across Gideon’s about a year ago through a close friend and can honestly say there is no equal. I find every cookie I try these days is bland, stale, and lacking any real flavor. If you have the same frustrations as I do, I can assure you their Chocolate Chip Cookie will change your life.

    Gideon’s truly brings back the passion and care that is now extremely rare to find in bakeries. Every order I’ve placed with them has exceeded my expectations and I can’t say enough good things about this company!!!!
