1. Levain Bakery Signature Cookie Assortment Gift Box
Perhaps you’ve heard your NYC-dwelling bestie mention this iconic bakery before? A favorite of Manhattanites and PureWow staff (yup, we taste-tested them and have been ordering nonstop ever since), Levain Bakery makes some of the chunkiest, gooiest cookies around. While you can choose between various gift sets, we think this four-, eight- or 12-piece variety pack, wrapped in cellophane bags and hand-tied with blue ribbons, can't be beat. For one, you have several assortments to choose from: chocolate chip walnut, dark chocolate chocolate chip, dark chocolate peanut butter chip and oatmeal raisin. Most importantly, the cookies will arrive fresh to your giftee's doorstep at lightning speed, at which point all they have to do is warm them up at 350°F for five to ten minutes to make them melty all over again. (Psst, don't sleep on Levain Bakery's caramel coconut chocolate chip that's loaded with coconutty, buttery, caramel-y goodness.)
2. Milk Bar Assorted Cookie Tin
A Taylor-Swift approved Big Apple favorite, Milk Bar is beloved for its funfetti cakes, creamy soft serve and, of course, its oh-so-addictive cookies. The secret ingredient? The cereal milk that Milk Bar’s batters, doughs, icings and ice creams are all mixed with (hence the name), which gives its treats a uniquely nuanced layer of sweetness. Choose from individual cookie flavors, like corn or confetti, or gift all six varieties by ordering this assorted tin instead.
3. David’s Cookies Ready-to-Bake Large Cookie Dough
Don’t skimp on this ready-to-bake cookie dough from David's Cookies. You’ll receive a box of 72 1.5-ounce pieces of delectable dough that can be stored in the freezer, then baked in batches for your friends and family to enjoy ASAP. As for the flavors, the box comes with your choice of lemon cooler or ChocoChunk. One reviewer raves, “Oh my were they scrumptious, tender, melted in your mouth and so tasty! We tried to hold back eating more—wait a week or so—but wow we couldn’t. My kids kept asking for more and then they were gone.” The nearly 7-pound box will arrive within two days of shipment with dry ice to preserve the freshness of your goodies.
4. Goldbelly William Greenberg Desserts Famous Giant Black & White Cookies
Shopping for someone with a sweet tooth? We suggest turning to Goldbelly, since they have endless options to choose from. From massive molasses cookies made in Texas to New York’s infamous black and white cookies (our favorite), there are hundreds of purveyors across the United States to shop on Goldbelly (like Cookie Dō, The Baked Bear and Big Fat Cookie) for freshly baked, delicious goodies that will be delivered right to your loved one’s door.
5. Mouth Cookie Monster Gift Box
Mouth is a one-stop shop for all types of food gifts. We're talking everything from cheese and cocktail mixers to an ample selection of cookies and desserts. They offer seasonal flavors, like chocolate peppermint, plus classic stalwarts, like triple ginger. They even have gluten- and dairy-free options. TLDR: Turn to Mouth if you want a wide range of options and unique flavors, like this cookie monster gift box.
6. Sugarwish Cookie Variety Box
If you’re in search of high quality desserts (like melt-in-your-mouth, straight-out-of-the-oven treats) Sugarwish is the place to go. Each cookie is individually wrapped to preserve its flavor and freshness. Just pick the box size and your giftee will get to choose what comes inside. There are more than 30 flavors to select from, like stuffed chocolate caramel pretzel, stuffed peanut butter Nutella, white chocolate macadamia nut and stuffed red velvet.
7. Mrs. Fields Two-Dozen Cookie Basket
When it comes to cookies, Mrs. Fields is obviously the undisputed queen of chocolate chip, appearing not one but two times on this list. That’s because the brand uses huge chocolate chunks in every made-to-order batch, so that each bite you take will be full of cocoa-laced goodness. Needless to say, a package of them is bound to make your cookie-loving friends very, very happy.
8. Doughp Best Seller Pack
If your friend is the type to eat half the cookie dough before it’s even popped in the oven, Doughp is their match made in cookie heaven. Each of the company's pints of raw cookie dough is egg-free and made with treated flour, so they can get their fix without the risk. With a stamp of approval from Shark Tank investors, this company allows you to build your own pack from options like Ride or Die (chocolate chip) or Brownie Beast (brownie and chocolate chip. If you don't know what they'll like, just go with this best-seller pack for good measure.
9. Partake 4-Box Variety Pack
Allergy-ridden eaters, rejoice! Vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free and baked without many of today’s top food allergens, Partake’s cookie packs were born from a mother’s frustration after her daughter was diagnosed with severe food allergies, leaving her with minimal snacking options. Today, the brand makes allergy-friendly goods in flavors such as crunchy birthday cake, soft-baked double chocolate, and traditional chocolate chip, so even your friend with the most severe dietary restrictions can enjoy them.
10. HighKey Keto Cookies Variety Pack
If your fitness buff of a best friend is currently doing the whole keto thing, you may think that a giant container of cookies is off limits. However, HighKey’s assortment of sweet treats and savory snacks are low in carbs and sugar, so they can get their fix without totally blowing their goals. We'd start with the assortment of chocolate chip, snickerdoodle and double chocolate brownie varieties if we were you. While we could tell they weren't packed with sugar and additives, we were seriously impressed with their flavor when we tried them.
11. Harry & David Classic Signature Cookie Gift Basket

Cheryl’s Cookies has every kind of flavor you can imagine, so you’re sure to find something, even for your relative who turns their nose up at chocolate. The brand is most famous for its decadent buttercream frosting, which is just the ticket when you're looking to break out of a chocolate chip rut. There’s even a sprinkle decorating kit, complete with plain cookies, sprinkles and a tub of icing, so the giftee can make their batch to suit their taste.
13. Barnett’s Gourmet Biscotti Chocolates Box
Who knew cookies could be this elegant? These chocolate-covered sandwich treats from Barnett's are delicious, yes, but these tasty biscotti (chocolate craisin, chocolate chip, caramel chip, nut crunch, almond crunch and cookie crunch) and pretty toppings of sprinkles, crushed peppermint, dried fruit and chopped nuts really take snacktime to a whole new level. Wash them down with a cup of cold milk or a mug of hot coffee.
14. Insomnia Cookies 12 Classic Cookie Gift Box
If you were a college student in the 2000s, odds are you’ve had your fair share of Insomnia Cookies.

(They have a few vegan flavors too, BTW.)

Allow us to introduce you to Deux, a line of vegan, gluten-free, raw cookie doughs that double as wellness snacks. Whether you eat them straight out of the jar or roll them into balls to bake, Deux's dough is mixed with high-quality ingredients, like zinc for immune support, maca for a positive mood boost and ashwagandha to aid in stress relief. Popular flavors include s'mores, buttercream sugar cookie and cinnamon roll, but we're partial to brownie batter.
16. Tate's Bakeshop Cookies Variety Pack
Crispy and crunchy, yet light as air and melt-in-your-mouth good, Tate's cookies are the kind that you're not going to want to put down once you start eating them.

Start with this assortment of chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip walnut.
17. Granny Bella’s Chocolate Cookie Gift Baskets
If you're searching for a place to find sweet treats that taste as good as grandma's, then Granny Bella's is the choice for you.

18. Matilde Vicenzi Roma Cookie Tin
You may not be able to hop a flight to Rome, but you can certainly take your tastebuds abroad in the meantime. Matilde Vicenzi offers tins of authentic Italian confections that you can order by the dozen. Each one is filled with traditional Italian puff pastries, cream-filled cookies, shortbread, flaky Danishes and more, so you can have a true international nosh right from your own kitchen.
19. Taylor Chip Cookies The Most Chocolatey Assortment

They're made by hand on the daily, baked to order and shipped same day, so you know they'll arrive to your giftee fresh as can be.
20. La Gringuita El Churro
Are massive, softball-sized cookies your kryptonite? Then these mega-confections will be right up your alley, as they each weigh in at a quarter-pound. In case you still need to be swayed, each variety is stuffed with something just as delicious as the dough it's wrapped in. Our favorite? El Churro, which is a snickerdoodle base filled to the brim with dulce de leche. (P.S. If cinnamon and caramel aren't your thing, go for the Brown Buttah, Chocolate Soufflé or Jammy varieties instead.)
21. Supernatural Rainbow Starfetti Sprinkles
So, your friend has a favorite cookie dough recipe, but needs help in the decorating department. Hook them up with coconut sugar, frostings and food colorings from Supernatural. Free of preservatives, chemicals and artificial colors, the brand's cookie toppings are vegan, gluten-free, allergy-friendly and made with plant-based ingredients.
