Ali’s Cookies Emory

The one time we was there we bad experience but the owner Jeff was a nice guy and promised us free cookies next time we come. If you have any problems make sure you ask for him.

I love this bakery! The cookies are always moist and fresh! My favorite is the chocolate chip ice crème sandwich.. Omg! The staff is always nice and polite

Delicious but dangerously habit forming. Got a cookie ice cream sandwich and it would have been wiser to share rather than get my own (the size of a hamburger!)

LOVE this idea! I couldn’t decide which cookies to get so I got 7 different ones and they were all sooo good! They have a milk bar/​fountain thing. Great idea! Great atmosphere and friendly staff. This reminds me I need to go back and get some more cookies… so good!

The fresh-​baked aroma that hit my nose when I opened the door was intoxicating!
Ali’s Cookies is just the cutest little bakery. They pride themselves on selling homemade, preservative-​free cookies that are baked from scratch every day.
They have a great selection of flavors to choose from and a few like the Georgia Peach (white chocolate oatmeal with chunks of dried peach) I haven’t seen anywhere else. Some were even gluten free.
The lady behind the counter was very helpful and patient while I took my time deciding what I wanted. I tried a morsel of each cookie on a sample tray near the register. On this particular day they featured Toffee Crunch, Georgia Peach and Ginger Snap.
Their pricing was $ 1.87 per cookie, $ 11.50 for half a dozen and $ 23 for a dozen. (If that sounds high to you, keep reading for the 50% discount.) I ordered half a dozen cookies and got seven instead of six. Lagniappe!!! What’s not to love a store that gives you a little something extra?
Each cookie was hefty too – about 3 or 4 inches wide and they all looked delicious. Some of them were prettily drizzled with chocolate or topped with colored sparkling sugars, just daring you to chomp into them. Ali’s claims to use quality ingredients and I could taste them.
Although every cookie had a beautiful butteriness, I liked some more than others.
The standout flavors were the Turtle Chocolate Chip (bursting with chocolate and caramel pieces), Toffee Crunch (shortbread speckled with toffee and drizzled with chocolate), and the Ginger Snap (autumn spiced with a nice crunch from coarse sugar on top).
Ali’s is serious about the fresh-​baked thing so day old cookies don’t make their official lineup. They are quarantined to a separate area on the other side of the register, hidden away from view in waxed paper bags (lest you make direct eye contact – gasp) and labeled with the flavor and quantity.
Their loss/​OCD is their customer’s gain. At half price, they’re a good deal for college students and bargain hunters alike. I bought fresh baked and day old cookies and couldn’t tell much difference between the two. The day olds were a bit firmer but the flavors remained intact.
The store will package your cookies in cellophane bags or gift boxes if you’re making a special purchase. They also ship throughout the US (
). Note that they won’t mail cookies out on Thursday or Friday because they don’t want the cookies to go undelivered on the weekend and get stale. Told you they were serious about quality control.
On this first visit they offered high quality and great variety. Unlike store-​bought cookies, these treats haven’t been sitting on the shelf for months, weeks or even days. Ali’s Cookies totally satisfied the cookie monster within. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a homemade cookie fix.

Five stars for the most facemelting cookies I have ever had! I got the M&M sugar cookie and the Apple Pie cookie and they both were so amazing that it was like they were making love to my face! It’s a totally adorable shop and the next time I go back I will totally be checking out the milk bar!

YUM. Perfect afternoon treat. Had the house specialty chocolate cookie (has pecans, chocolate chips, and oatmeal in it) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and it just made my day. I think their cookies are actually better than Alon’s bakery cookies, so I’m eager to try the other cookies! Also, the ice cream did not taste like the typical store-​bought brand. It was super creamy and had specks of real vanilla in it. Will definitely be back for more!

YUM! So glad I finally got to try this place. This cookie shop will definitely satisfy your sweet tooth. As soon as you enter, you are welcomed by the amazing aroma of all the cookie flavors mixed together. Immediately, you’re overwhelmed with all the cookie flavors on your left. They all look so good, which ones do you choose? Keep walking in a little more, and you’ll see they have ice cream sandwich options, as well!
You can buy single cookies, or get a ½ dozen (which apparently is 7 cookies…) or 1 dozen (which apparently is 14 cookies…), etc. Get as many cookies as you’d like. I opted for the ice cream sandwich, since it was a nice day out. You can mix and match cookies and choose your ice cream flavor. I got the M&M cookie and the toffee crunch cookie with vanilla ice cream (neutral ice cream flavor to balance out the cookies!). It was very tasty, and it’s definitely a very sizable sandwich, worth your money.
Not that this is ever a bad thing, but it IS a LOT of sweetness overload! My friend and I both got the ice cream sandwiches and wished at the end that we had split one instead, since our stomaches would’ve been happier with us that way.

Great Cookie Store, very nice décor, a friendly atmosphere and a sweet staff. Glad they are part of the shops of Emory Village.

If you like cookies, you’ll love this place. They’ve got some great flavors and awesome snacks (cake in a jar!). They also have milks and coffees, which I didn’t try. It’s a perfect spot for kids, and okay for everyone else who just wants something sweet.

Not sure what Ali and her helpers put in these cookies, but whatever the substance is, it’s incredibly addicting. I’ve had these cookies on the brain constantly!
Two bucks gets you a cookie about 3.5−4 inches in diameter, so not teeny at all. There are lots of different varieties, and the options change each day. Besides chocolate, there are cookies with fruit, nuts, sugar, no gluten, you name it. For those of us who love deals, you can buy day old cookies for a $ 1, awesome.
I was fortunate enough to get a freshly baked double chocolate chip once, and it was fabulous! The old-​fashioned chocolate chip is excellent and amazing. Generous with the chocolate, firm on the edges, soft in the middle, not too cakey. Perfect! The chocolate chunk is pretty similar to the chip, IMO. The snickerdoodle has a delicate almond taste which I found appealing. Usually there will be some sort of sample by the cash register to try out.
I haven’t eaten in the shop, but it’s very cute, almost boutique-​like, but not staffed by snooty salesgirls. There’s a microwave so you can zap up the cookies for melty goodness. You can also get a drink at the milk bar (how very Clockwork Orange). Love you, Ali!

A half dozen order will get you 7 delicious round ones. As this was my first time, I had such difficulty picking which out of their ~20 flavors I wanted to try. I ordered the Apple Pie, Ginger Cookie, Georgia A. Peach, Choco Choco Chunk, Turtle Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and the last one I forgot the name of, but I describe it below! I just had to provide comments on several of the cookies:
Unknown Cookie Name (!!): This cookie had white chocolate chips and blueberries. It seriously tasted like a blueberry muffin, but like a cookie at the same time. Delicious, sweet, and different! The blueberries appeared to be dried, but since they were plumper, perhaps they were rehydrated before baking? Will definitely order this again.
Georgia A. Peach: An unusual combination of toffee, what appears to be dehydrated peach pieces, and white chocolate in an oatmeal dough base. I was really surprised when I took a bite, not knowing what to expect. Actually, I was expecting a traditional cookie dough with peaches & spices, and I almost wondered if I ordered the wrong cookie. Still, it was unusually good.
Apple Pie: You could definitely taste and distinguish the apple in this cookie. The sweet white chocolate chips offset the tartness of the fruit. I also tasted some brown sugar bits throughout – a really nice touch that reminded me of pie crust!
Ginger Cookie: I love how salt brings out the flavor of desserts, but this cookie was a little too salty for my taste… This was the only cookie I didn’t particularly enjoy.
Conveniently located in Emory Village, I dare any student who discovers this bakery to resist temptation over these sweets! Overall, each cookie I had was super moist and rich. You get that crispy exterior, and the center is ooey-​gooey, the way you expect!

Cookies are delish! My only complaint is that I wish they were a bit softer. Nothing a few seconds in the microwave can’t cure though.

Great cookies! The «Spicy Chocolate», German chocolate, toffee whatever. .. had them at a party and they were gone in minutes. Our friends are excellent bakers and were really impressed. We have since brought several boxes to work and to parties and people love the cookies.

Some of the best cookies I’ve ever tasted. from the GA Peach to the Gingersnap Snickerdoodle or Peanut butter. .they all are great.
P. s. one cookie is like eating two perfect size.

Not that it happens all too frequently, but sometimes you just need a cookie. Maybe it’s your day that beckons for something treat-​worthy, or maybe you just have really wanted a good cookie for some time and you were hoping to find a local spot that happens to make great cookies — Enter: Ali’s. Friday night after a suuuuper long week and we were both tired. After dinner in Decatur, we scoped Ali’s through the Unilocal app and we made the haul over to Emory Village.
Now, you should know that parking in Emory Village is never easy. Sure, there are a few street spots and some places offer valet, but good luck finding a good spot… anywhere. Almost every lot is marked and posted with more signs designating the horrible towing that will occur, should you decide to park and not patronize the marked business. Well, we cut out the middleman and decided to divide and conquer. We parked at CVS and my wife went to grab a few items we needed for the home and I walked across the street (though almost getting hit by a few motorists unfamiliar with crosswalks) and stepped inside the shop. Easy enough!
The shop is pretty small with a few tables to sit at, a milk bar, and a pretty big operation for all of the cookies. The selection is pretty vast and they offer a good variety of options for buying a single cookie or multiple. All of the cookies are pretty great in size as well. Here’s what we decided to get –
Snickerdoodle
Chocolate Chip
Coconut Macaron
Simple Sugar Cookie
All of these varieties were true to their flavor and had a fantastic crunchy edge with a fantastically chewy center. We were in heaven. I have to say the sugar cookie was my favorite, but the snickerdoodle came in a close second. Pair that with a glass of whole milk and you’re made in the shade.
Service was friendly and the prices aren’t too outlandish for cookies. Despite the parking situation, Ali’s is great. Looking forward to bringing friends cookies from here!

So tasty! We got 7 cookies and they were perfect! Weren’t terribly expensive and are perfect for when you want something sweet.

Best cookies ever and you can pair them with cold or warm milk! There are so many flavours to try as well as cookie cake, cake in a cup, and cookie ice cream sandwiches. Manager is super friendly and service is great. I used them for a huge event and they were amazing! Definitely get your cookies from here!

Excellent. Just excellent. I have heard great things about this company before, yet never tried their cookies. I was thrilled to hear they were moving closer to me because I live in Inman Park. I visited during their first week of opening and was instantly in a haze the second I stepped in. The cookie-​aroma is intoxicating, the staff are like magic cookie-​keebler-​elves staying busy perfecting their product, and are very helpful when it comes to deciding which cookie suits my taste. I went with the half-​dozen deal, which comes with 7, and brought them home to my family. Not a cookie survived the night. My favorite is the George Washington’s Revenge, which has cherries, chocolate chunks, and toffee. My kids enjoyed the Sugar and M&M cookies. Overall, a great experience and wonderful edition to the neighborhood. I may have to fake a birthday in the family so I can order a large, decorated cookie cake.
