Metro Recommends: 14 Incredible Cookies To Suit Your Every Mood

Purple Oven’s Half-dipped Chocolate Cookie

Sometimes, when at the office, I’d sneak out to buy Purple Oven's Half-dipped Chocolate Cookies from their branch in Scout Rallos. They're so good that they hold the power to make a bad day so much better! These cookies aren't new, but you can order them via GrabFood. They're the no-fail cookie option for me. The perfect cookie, in my opinion, is consistent, perfect parts chewy and crunchy, buttery but not so much that it greases up your fingers or makes you need a lippie retouch. Order from @purpleovenofficial on Instagram, or message (0977) 3117-652. - Justin Convento, Culture Editor Check them out at @purpleovenofficial on Instagram

Purple Oven’s Chocolate Macadamia Cookie

I've known Purple Oven for their lemon bars but the cookies came as a surprise. A colleague introduced me to these treats, and they've been the standard for me ever since. My favorite is the Chocolate Macadamia Cookie. It's chewy, with gooey chocolate, and the nuts? Love! I prefer this cookie soft and chewy, so I heat them in a microwave for a few seconds, then pair with barako coffee —heaven! Order from @purpleovenofficial on Instagram. - Judy Arias, Managing Editor

Happy Birthday Cookies by Baked by the Old Boy

They say making the perfect cookie is an exact science. If that's the case, these Baked by The Old Boy cookies nailed that amazingly calculated taste down to a T. Every flavor was expertly perfected to give you the offering they have today. The Crinkles are familiar but at the same time so new. Unexpected twists like the Happy Birthday Cookie is easily a new favorite besides classic ones like the Chocolate Chip. Every piece has the right crisp and chewiness that are only married well with skilled hands. But how amazing that these are just homemade! I've seen them do trial and error to give us the perfect set of cookies they have today. This makes them stand out as probably one of the best cookies quarantine has brought us!

Moe and Bels' Chocolate Crinkles

I tried thinking beyond the usual crowd faves so I tried this place called, Moe and Bels. They have these stuffed crinkles that are pretty good! Also, for me, the perfect cookie is chewy. Order from @moeandbelsbake on Instagram - Aisha Anwar, Social Media Manager

Sweet O-Clock By Claire's Chocolate Chip Cookies and Oreo Cheescake

I like my cookies moist and soft! I like it when the chocolate chips inside are semi-melted. These are the cookies I'm super obsessed with, and it's my third time to order their chocolate chip cookies and oreo cheesecake. It's kinda far from my house but it's so worth it!

Aim & Bake’s Oatmeal Cookies

Aim & Bake’s oatmeal cookies are my new obsession! They're just the right amount of sweet, rich in fiber, and have fewer calories than your regular chocolate chip cookies. Talk about guilt-free indulgence! The chewy trio comes in different flavors: raisin, walnut, and dark chocolate. Order from @aimandbake on Instagram. - Raff Colmenar, Art Director

Moloko Handcrafted Cookies' NY-Style Chips 'n Chunks Choco Chip Cookies with Valrhona

I'm addicted to cookies! I'm always excited to try all sorts of choco-flavored cookies, from classic choco to dark choco to double choco. I like cookies that are crunchy on the outside and gooey on the inside. My favorites before were Starbucks' dark chocolate macadamia nut cookie (which I always requested to be warmed so the chocolate chunks melt) and Scout's Honor's deep dark chocolate cookie with cream cheese filling. I still love them, but during quarantine, I discovered something new: Moloko Handcrafted Cookies' thick and chunky NY-Style Chips 'n Chunks choco chip cookies with Valrhona! The cookie is huge and filling, and Moloko doesn't scrimp on the ingredients too! When you bite the cookie, no kidding, it's chocolate explosion! It's even better when you heat it, the chocolate melts more. Just talking about it now is making me crave! Order from @molokocookies on Instagram. - Grace Libero, People Editor

When it's quality time and cheat day with my daughter, I always go for Scout's Honor or Vegan/Keto Auro Dark Chocolate Cookies by Mela Raymundo. When it comes to cookies, I always prefer chewy than crumbly! Order from @scoutshonorph on Instagram. - Kat Cruz, Creative Director

YoKooki’s Homemade Cookies

YoKooki’s homemade cookies are the perfect example of “less is more”. They stand out, not only because of their delicious flavor, but because their cookies are what a perfect cookie should be — soft and chewy on the inside but balanced with the crunch of walnuts. Yokooki’s cookies are elegantly simple, but will make you want to keep on grabbing for another piece! Not a fan of walnuts? Not to worry, their Choco Choco Chip Cookies are equally to die for! To order, message @YokooKibyMudra on Facebook or @yo_kooki on Instagram. - Cara Tirona, Editorial Assistant

Subway's Chocolate Chip Cookies

I haven’t been able to try out cookies from any local shops, but I find myself ordering Subway’s chocolate chip cookies a lot more these days, especially when I need a pick-me-up after work. I think the perfect cookie is chewy inside and a little crisp on the outside, with melted chocolate chips! Check them out @subwayphilippines on Instagram. - Renee Nuevo, Writer

Mo Cookies

Mo Cookies still do it every time for me! Their baked-to-a-crisp cookies that get doughier and doughier as you reach the center, plus generous ingredients, never fail when I want my sugar fix. Seeing as I'm a serial snacker and grazer and never actually finish an entire cookie in one sitting, I'm especially a fan of how Mo Cookies don't get stale quickly and are good to go back to even after a day or two without heating. Asside from enjoying them on their own, my second favorite way to have them is with plain vanilla ice cream! For sure, chewy cookies win over crumbly cookies, any day.
