Best Cookies in Orlando
Orlando is known for theme parks, sunshine, and tourists. But the cookie scene? It's been growing. Fast.
A few years ago, your options were pretty much grocery store cookies or whatever your hotel had. Now there are real bakeries and cookie brands making fresh, handcrafted cookies that are worth going out of your way for.
1. Star Cookies — Best Stuffed NY Style Cookies
Star Cookies is an Orlando-based cookie brand that makes oversized, stuffed NY-style cookies. Each one is 8 oz — that's half a pound of cookie. They're thick, soft in the middle, and stuffed with real candy and premium fillings.
The flavor menu is where they really stand out. Ferrero Rocher cookies stuffed with a whole Ferrero Rocher and Nutella. Pistachio cookies loaded with pistachio cream and white chocolate. Dubai Chocolate cookies with kataifi, pistachio cream, and tahini. Kinder Bueno. Biscoff. Coconut Raffaello. And more.
Everything is baked fresh to order using real butter, real eggs, and premium chocolate. They also donate 10% of profits to help street dogs.
What to order: Build a box of 4, 6, or 12 and pick your flavors.
Price: $8 per cookie. Free shipping on 6+.

2. Gideon's Bakehouse — Best for the Experience
Gideon's Bakehouse in Disney Springs is probably the most famous cookie spot in Orlando. The line is long. Sometimes really long. But the cookies are big, rich, and unlike anything at a regular bakery.
Their cookies are about half a pound each with a dense, almost brownie-like texture.
What to order: Original Chocolate Chip or the seasonal special.
Where: Disney Springs, Orlando.
3. Crumbl Cookies — Best for Variety
Crumbl has several locations around Orlando. Their thing is a rotating weekly menu — usually 4-6 flavors that change every Monday.
The cookies are big, colorful, and very shareable on social media.
Price: ~$4-5 per cookie.
4. Insomnia Cookies — Best Late-Night Option
Insomnia Cookies delivers warm cookies until late at night. If it's midnight and you need a cookie, Insomnia is there for you.
They have locations near UCF and downtown Orlando.
Price: ~$2-4 per cookie.
