The Cookie Box Hawthorn

Got a cookie obsession that just won't quit? Prepare to unleash the monster on Hawthorn's new dessert destination, The Cookie Box, where chunky, gooey handmade cookies reign supreme. The family-run brand has already proved a hit in Perth, where it launched in 2017, and and its first Melbourne shop on Chapel Street and now Hawthorn's scored a decadent outpost of its own.

The Glenferrie Road store is dishing up eight permanent flavours from a classic pistachio to Nutella and a fruit-laced raspberry number. You can also sink your teeth into the monthly-changing experimental creation and a vegan version. All of the treats are rolled by hand, rested for 48 hours and baked fresh daily, crafted only on top-quality ingredients including free-range eggs and smooth Belgian chocolate.

A solo cookie will set you back as little as $5. Otherwise, you can order a mixed half dozen and get ten percent off, teaming classic cookies with specials like Choc Full of Peanuts, matcha and white chocolate, and triple chocolate.

The Cookie Box officially opens at 10am on Tuesday, September 8, which you can visit if you live within five kilometres of (under Melbourne's stage four restrictions), otherwise you can order delivery online via Doordash.
