I always enjoyed stopping by this place--a small nook in the wall on the edge of the Midland Park…read moreMall Food Court. The prices may be a bit on the expensive side, but like we need the extra calories. Their cookies are sooo sweet, rich, & delicious, that it's worth every penny! My favorites have included the peanut butter cups filled with chocolate frosting, the brownies, the M&M cookies, the cream frosting sandwiched between 2 cookies (usually chocolate chip or M&M), & the double-chocolate cookies. For birthdays or other (special) occasions, they also make great cookie cakes!

Note: Before reading this post, understand that I am…read morereviewing the employee/costumer service, of Great American Cookies in midland not the locale itself. The wife & I were at the mall only to get a few cookies and when we walked up to the stand we were not greeted by a "hello" or "welcome" which at this time & age is pretty normal now. The demeanor of the employees was expressed by her body language & facial expressions. It was clear she did not want to be there. I always order a couple chocolate chip double doozies but this time they only had one. I asked the employee working the front, "do you have any more chocolate chip double doozies"? She said "No, we only have what's on display". This similar experience (on several occasions) happened(s) at the GAC booth at the Odessa mall. But, difference is, the girls working the counter there don't even ask, they have simply said, "give me a couple of minutes and I will make you one". It was clear the midland employee was not going to make any more cookies for me or anyone for that matter. I also ordered a chewy chocolate fudge supreme cookie that was not even edible. There was nothing "soft or chewy" about that cookie. I honestly believe it had been sitting out on the display all day. There was nothing fresh or soft about any of the cookies we took home. Unfortunately this is a negative review solemnly because of the employees working there not the store itself. We've never had any issues whatsoever with the Odessa store since that is the one we always go to. The employees at the Odessa store are always energetic, happy, and very friendly. They will accommodate our order even when they don't have it and are always willing to make anything we'd like upon request. Because of this, I refuse to go back to the midland store and purchase any cookies from there. It's unfortunate because this is the only dessert I get on the weekends. I will keep my business at the Odessa store since they've earned my business and keep earning it every time we walk in. I will do a separate post on the Odessa location since they deserve a great review! Great American cookies is a really good spot for sweets but only if you have good people behind the counter
