We subjected ourselves to multiple cookie deliveries to find out which are the best ones. Thick cookies, thin cookies, even teeny tiny little cookies. We ate our fair share, but who delivers the best cookies to your door?

If you happen to follow me on Instagram you would have seen a period during Sydney lockdown where there seemed to be a cookie delivery every other day to my place. There was a good reason. We decided to try out some of Australia's top home delivered cookies.
Pandemic lockdowns make you do funny things. Paying to have cookies delivered for my own consumption isn't something I would do normally. I bake a mean cookie. I give you examples A, coconut biscuits, B, violet crumble cookies, and C, alfajores de maicena.
To add some joy to our groundhog days, cookie deliveries arrived from all parts of Sydney and even from Melbourne. But who was our favourite? Will it be a cookie delivery from Melbourne or Sydney that takes the shining cookie crown?
Life is getting back to a new normal, thank goodness. Is there still a need to have cookies home delivered? Personally, I think a box of cookies makes the perfect alternative to the delivery of flowers. Cookies are probably one of the sweetest gifts you could send somebody.

What's in this post
How we decided what cookies to have delivered
There was one big deciding factor on what cookies I ordered to be delivered. They had to deliver to the Sutherland Shire in Sydney. Unless you live in The Shire you have no idea how many companies just don't deliver here.
Sydney lockdown made many companies expand their delivery circle in desperation for business. If there has been one positive to the pandemic, this has been it.
All of our cookie deliveries were from Sydney and Melbourne. As I am Sydney based the majority of the cookie deliveries were from Sydney.

Who was our favourite?
This was a hard call and I divided my findings into four categories, thick cookies, tiny cookies, general cookies, and stuffed cookies. It was impossible and unfair to judge them all as one due to how different the types of cookies were. But yes, I did have an overall favourite.
As with all things edible, what I like you may not, what you like I may not. Our tastebuds are as individual as all the cookies we taste-tested.
Best Thick Cookie
Cookie Doughboy. They were thick, but not too thick, and felt cooked through and not raw in the middle. Raw tasting middles can be a hazard of thick cookies, but not with Cookie Doughboy. They warmed up beautifully in the oven from both fresh and frozen.
Sweet Splits also won a place in our hearts for taste, texture, quick delivery, and awesome retro packaging. They would make an awesome gift too.
Best Tiny Cookie
RT Cookies. They are seriously good and seriously addictive. We found ourselves chain eating their cookies unable to move too far away from the cookie packet.
Kuuru Cookie House needs an honorable mention for their black sesame cookies, they were just as addictive.
Best Stuffed Cookie & Cookie Crown Winner!!
Butterbing. These cookies are damn tasty and my favourite. Butterbing creator, Simone Clark, has nailed what she originally called Brownie Kisses. I would walk to Melbourne for these, but luckily I don't have to as I can get my Butterbing fix from roughly 400 cafes around Australia.
Best General Cookie
The Baked Box. They fall under general as they are a normal size cookie that is easy to eat. Though there is nothing general about the cookies themselves. Super tasty, smell incredible, and we love the flavours on offer.
