I purchased a peanut butter cup for me, and a chocolate truffle for my daughter. The chocolate was…read moreokay. The peanut butter filling in my PB Cup wasn't so great. The outside was very hard, thick, and hard to bite. The filling was a tiny dot, and had very little flavor. It really didn't even taste like peanut butter. The price was outrageous! $6 for a peanut butter cup?!?! $10 for two small peices of chocolate... Value of the experience had the most influence on this review. Nah, I'm good. I just can't justify paying that kind of money for a piece of chocolate, especially when it's not great. I do a little chocolate work at home, such as truffles, fat bombs, etc... mine are better, and at 1000% less expensive. Overall, not worth it. If the price was under a dollar for each, I'd reconsider, but wouldn't get the PB cup again. Not good.

These cookies are awesome!…read more My daughter and I were waiting for our table to be ready at a nearby restaurant and saw this cookie store next door. A warm welcoming store with cookie aromas in the air! We went into this lovely little store and was greeted by a super nice young lady who was busily making cookies. She told us if we bought 6 we would get 2 free. So naturally being a cookie lover I said heck yes let's 6 and get 2 for free! We got 3 oatmeal raisin, 1 peanut butter, 1 snickerdoodle, 2 chocolate chip and 1 Oreo cookie All the cookies are loaded with chewy goodness!! Fresh and chewy..... so yummy! You gotta stop here when in Rapid City! We will be back again!

But The Cookie Shop in downtown Rapid City aims to change that perception. This locally owned, cookie-centric bakery operated under the Mary's Mountain Cookies moniker until a recent name change, but everything else about the shop has remained the same. The storefront is tucked underneath an unlabeled black awning beside the local legend Tally's Silver Spoon. Inside the single-room space, shelves of ingredients and stainless steel industrial baking equipment stretch all the way back. Christmas lights are strung from the ceiling, and the deep purple and forest green walls are minimally decorated with mountain-y tchotchkes. The blackboard counter is chalked with a Mt Rushmore-themed mural, and each cookie variety has a Sharpie-on-parchment paper description. I stopped by The Cookie Shop on a weekday morning, and I ordered right away. Across all the cookies, the dough was chewy with a dynamically rich flavor. Our far-and-away favorite was the Cookies 'N Dream -- Oreo buttercream sandwiched between two Oreo-based cookies. You wouldn't be alone in mistaking the thick, creamy frosting for ice cream, and the hockey puck size of each component felt like a sophisticated whoopee pie. But don't sleep on the more toned-down offerings. The Hopscotch (oatmeal-chocolate chip with buttscotch swirls and sugar crystals) paired solid flavors with dynamic texture, while the Americano (chocolate chip with espresso-infused dough) traded sweetness for decadence. Even the day-old leftovers far exceeded most bakeries' freshest of offerings. The service was friendly and efficient, and we were directed around the corner to the sister shop, Speed Goat Express, for coffee. The most expensive cookie varieties clocked in below the $4 mark (hence, comparable to Starbucks, Panera, or Crumbl). But the quality was god-level; it would be no exaggeration to rank The Cookie Shop's creations among the best cookies I've ever eaten, full stop.
