Great Cookie - Temple Hills

Iverson Cookies/The Great Cookie has been a DC area staple for decades. It 's been a while since I 've been here, but it felt like a review is long overdue. So I took it upon myself to stop by get some cookies for myself and my parents before I departed for IL a few weeks ago. The ever so popular cookie flavor there is the prized Snickerdoodle cookies. So, of course, I took it upon myself to order a few. I ordered about 8 cookies for $5 or $10 (apparently, they do not allow ordering by the half dozen nor dozen, but by the eights. Such as 8, 16, etc . I was a bit judgy hesitant because the cookies were almost razor thin, and I was used to thicker, regular sized cookies. But as soon as I took a bite, I was shook haha they were so moist, soft, and delightful. Crunchy exterior but the right amount of crunch that it doesn 't take away from the softness/moisture. The right amount of sugar and cinnamon. I think what makes this different from other Snickerdoodle cookies is perhaps the thinness and (I THINK, I could be wrong the possible shortening base. They were so good, I decided not to be selfish and go back in to order my parents some to try I will say since it 's been a while since I 've been to Iverson Cookies, I got a bit lost because I could not find an entrance point (I 'll be honest: I forgot haha . The entrance point is between Mama Lucia and Chipotle. If you have bad eye vision like me, you 'll have to walk up closer to notice. On Yelp and the physical establishment, it 's listed as The Great Cookie. On Google Maps, it 's listed as Iverson Cookies. There 's plenty of parking. The best way to get there is to drive or Uber. I am unsure if one can Metro there.

Cookie was delivered in perfect shape on the right date. I didn't get to try it but according to our daughter spending her first birthday away from home and her friends she was able to share with, it was a hit!

Amazing cookies for the price. They were freshly baked and just wonderful. I absolutely love the chocolate chip and double fudge cookies.

‍.. Excuse me ! Can I say something ?!?... Listen family ! .. It's some places in this world where you go and ONLY order a specific thing. And the snicker doodles are just that at this place. I'm putting these up against ANY snicker doodle cookies you've ever tasted. If your from the DMV hopefully you're from D.C you know about Iverson Mall Snicker doodles. Must have ! They always come out fresh because the demand is so high. Not that big, but the taste makes up for it. Yesterday I got 2 $30.00 boxes as you can see in the pictures . They also have $20.00, $40.00 boxes .. $10.00 bags, random cup sizes or you can just order by the pound. The other type of cookies are good to. But not GREAT. Just trust the monster order the snicker doodles. Located inside the mall, but it's right by the entrance as soon as you enter. Mite be a line, but they move like Chick-fil-a lines. So no hassle with that. Takes cash card. Enjoy. #TeamDiesel4Evaaa

I grew up on this place but Heavens Bakery is better to me now. I never appreciated the customer service here as well.
