Best cookies
An assortment of the many tasty treats available at Ali's Cookies in Marietta. They also deliver locally and ship nationwide and you can order from their website (click the photo to check it out).
YOUR PICKS
You say, “Definitely Ali’s. They are worth the drive to Marietta no matter where you are! I can’t even pick out a favorite, because every cookie I have eaten from there is divine.”
2) Alon’s
The Cherry Ginger Explosion (on top) and the crackly Spicy Ginger cookies are just two of the flavor revelations at Decatur's Cookie Studio.
OUR PICKS
We say, “Dive into a box of these big, hearty discs of sweet goodness, and do something good at the same time. This Decatur shop donates a portion of its proceeds to the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children. From the spicy ginger to the white chocolate macadamia, everything they bake here is a luscious treat.”

WildFlour in Alpharetta. He makes the best cookies. They are only open for lunch and when the cookies (or food) is gone, it’s gone but it is so worth the effort. Try the brownies too! Yummmm….

We live in Massachusetts which is a long way to travel for a cookie from The Cookie Studio but well worth it. Hands down, there is no other cookie. Plus we always enjoy trying to figure out which one is the best.

Henri’s shortbread, hands down! Followed in a close second to Trader Joe’s vanilla wafers. They’re so good my daughter (thirty something) asked for a tub of them for Christmas.

The Cookie Studio is the best without a doubt. The folks there always greet you with a smile, and the oatmeal raisin cookies are to die for

These cookies are good. But will someone tell me if the “penny wheel” cookie still around. I’ll jump over ten steaks to get one. 2in in diameter with ridges around the edges I thought Toms was the maker, but I’m not sure. The last time I seen one was in 1966. Please help

I have a huge sweet tooth, so I speak on authority. The Cookie Studio has the best cookies anywhere in the metro ATL area. Plus, all their other offerings are fantastic too!

I’ll have to agree with those who said Christie Cookies are the best. They are also the makers of the Doubletree Hotel cookie. If you’re ever in Nashville, you can visit the Christie Cookie shop in Green Hills were you can purchase a wide assortment of their freshly baked delicious cookies. I wish they would open a store in GA.

Don’t know the name of the bakery as somebody brought them to a picnic but it’s a Brazilian bakery in Marietta. They had the most ethereal confections, filled with dulce de leche. The cookies literally melted in my mouth and turned into a powdery puff of epic proportions! They reminded me of the butter cookies in the Mercado del Pueblo bakery on Buford Hwy, they too crumbled like a fine shortbread.
