    What to get...
    D S.

    The perfect combination of warm, chewy cookies and creamy, delicious ice cream. Sweet, satisfying, and absolutely worth trying!

    The best cookies and snack. Friendly staff with great service. I am a repeat customer.

    7/26/26 Cookie of the Month: Strawberry Shortcake

    My preferred cookie spot in the area. What I love most is the texture: they manage to get them perfectly thin while keeping the middle soft, with just that slight crispy crunch around the edges. Plus, they aren't overly sweet at all, and you don't get that dense, raw flour or heavy baking powder taste that so many other bakeries have. The shop itself is always spotless, and the staff is genuinely friendly every single time I walk in. I also love that they serve ice cream, which makes for an awesome treat. We always go late so it's never busy to get an ambiance. Their seasonal "Cookies of the Month" are so much fun to try. July's cookie of the month...the Strawberry Shortcake! It had bits of real strawberry baked inside, smooth strawberry crème on top, and diced fresh strawberries to finish it off. Absolutely delish. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in Yorba Linda!

    Arrived midweek just after 1pm and they still had a few day old boxes left - got one w/ choc chip, snickerdoodles and dark cherry. Such a deal. Solid flavors with soft buttery-like insides. Also ordered a fresh half dozen of 2 different choc oatmeal, an M&M, a white choc cranberry,and 2 chocolate chip - heaven in 2 boxes for the next day. No regrets!

    I was looking to order custom decorated cookies within a week's time and The Cookie Element was able to pull through on short notice! Their service and response time was timely, friendly and I really appreciated their prompt follow up in regards to my order. I ordered a dozen cookies in two designs and each design had a minimum order of 6 cookies. You provide the photo of what you would like your cookies to look like, and The Cookie Element tries their best to make your order as close as possible to the supplied image. While the process of ordering the cookies was friendly and straightforward, I was slightly disappointed with the overall look of the cookies. I had ordered Minnie Mouse cookies as well as a numerical 6 cookie and both didn't quite meet my expectations of what I was looking for. The cookie design still looked very nice and was beautiful overall, but the face of the Minnie Mouse cookie felt very flat and one tone as they used a single peach color for the face, and then used an edible black marker to draw the details of the face. In the photo I provided, Minnie's eyes were white and her mouth was a light pink color, but the same peach-ish color was used for both the eyes and mouth so the cookies didn't have as much depth as I had hoped for. As for the number "6" cookie, they did not cut a hole in the middle of the number, and instead used white icing, which in my opinion, gave the cookies an unfinished look as I initially thought they put white parchment paper on the cookie when I first picked up my order. Nonetheless, the design of the cookies was still spot on to the "inspo" photo I had provided, and I was very pleased with how they were able to replicate the design of what I was looking for (besides the coloring being off). If you're looking to order custom cookies, I would recommend to discuss and specify any details you may be looking for in advance to see if they can accommodate, instead of just providing an inspo pic and hoping it will meet your expectations. I only ordered the custom sugar cookies so I didn't get a chance to try any of the cookies on display in their store front, but everything looked delicious and I thought the periodic table cookie theme was a cute touch!

    Amazing service and very nice staff. I was able to get custom sugar cookies and they were able to follow my reference picture perfectly. They also tasted amazing and loved it. The establishment was very clean and nice. FYI this was for my friend who graduated and vecame an EMT

    The Cookie Element:  Decorating classes!!!
    Lorri D.

    YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! My friend asked if I wanted to go to a Halloween cookie decorating class with her. HECK YES!! Anything to be festive, I say. I'd never been (or even heard of) The Cookie Element, but I sure do know about them now and LOVE them! We pulled up and saw all the cookies in the store part of the place, so many to choose from and so unique and tempting. I purchased 2 Vanilla Bean Sugar and 2 Brown ButterToffee. They were so very fresh and perfect! They literally put Crumbl to shame. I'd choose The Cookie Element over Crumbl any day. The flavors!!! Whoa! They have seasonal flavors, S'mores, Blueberry White Chocolate, Hawaiian, Ice Cream Sandwiches (different flavors of ice cream), Dark Chocolate Cherry, Whopper Malt Ball Chocolate Chip, and those meringue cookies, oh my goooodness! There are standard flavors of cookies as well; Chocolate Chip, Snickerdoodle, Peanut Butter, etc. Seems some of the unique flavors change out every so often. They even make custom cookies! There are also bags of "day old" cookies by the cash register, they do not taste day old AT ALL, they are still so fresh and delicious... and heavily discounted. Ok, so I got distracted by the cookies. I'm here to really tell you about the cookie decorating class. It was everything I'd hoped it would be. We learned how to make those fancily decorated cookies to impress all our friends. The instructor was very in-depth and patient. They offer Parent and Me classes, and seasonal too. Check out their website for dates, many to choose from. I will definitely be back for one of those again, no doubt. The class was kinda pricey at $60/person, but you get all the knowledge and necessities to make beautiful cookies! Plus you get to take them home in a bakery box. Look at me all fancy with my cookies. So exciting. The class took about 2 hours and we had everything we needed plus a light meal and beverages, plus a Cookie Element dessert bar! I'm a huge fan!! Excited for another class and, as always, excited to keep going back for more yummy cookies. Check them out! Order! Stop in! Whatever you need to do, you MUST try them and try them often... they need to be in business forever.

    I ordered custom cookies here a couple years ago & was disappointed as I didn't get the amount I was expecting & the person I spoke with was very rude & told me "too bad that's what I asked for." I should have asked for a detailed invoice versus a phone conversation order. Despite that happening, I decided to give another try & came back a few weeks ago & was very happy. I ordered custom 1st Birthday cookies & they turned out just how I envisioned. This time I asked for a very specific detail & explanation on my order which was great. It was much better this time because I believe the owner was involved compared to last time. Thy always have varying themes for holidays which is fun. I would definitely return.

    Do you make vegetarian cookies milk eggs and butter ok ? For special theme graduation how much for dozen?

    Hello, We don’t have any animal… 

    Anyone know if these cookies are made with real butter?

    For the recipes that require butter, we use real butter.

    Can I walk in and buy an iced cookie or must I place a special order such as 3 dozen baby shower themed cookies? I just want to walk in and buy like 3.

    If there's a particular theme you're looking for you'd need to place a special order. If you're… 

    Do they have any vegan cookies available :)?

    Hello and thank you for your inquiry. We do not offer vegan cookies at this time.

    Is there airy free ice cream as an option?

    All of our Sorbets are Dairy Free and we often carry 1-2 flavors in-store daily. In addition, all of our Meringue Cookies are Dairy Free!

    Do they still offer day old cookies at half price?

    Last time I visited here they did still offer half price cookies that were a day old.

    Hi ... How much are your macarons?…

    Our French Macarons are $1.95 each or $21.50 a dozen.

    Does anyone know the price per dozen for the cookies?

    So there are two types of cookies, traditionally made (chocolate chip, vanilla bean, chocolate chocolate, etc) and deluxe cookies (red velvet whoopie pie, smores brownie, chocolate-dipped shortbread). A dozen traditional cookies is $17.50 while a…

We had five sandwiches, two scones, fruit, dessert, and all the tea we could drink. The service was outstanding. They let us stay over the 90 minute reservation to continue celebrating. A definite thumbs up. See you next time

    Vibe: Girly and cute, the place is adorned with faux flowers on the wall, flower table cloths, pink…read morevelvet chairs. Definitely an overall Pink theme. It looks clean and spacious enough for a small scale tea shop. There are a-la-carte menu items (pastries, tea) and an afternoon tea menu. Price: $45 for the Royal Tea Experience package which is extremely reasonable considering what you get. There is a 90 mins max for each tea experience. They are pretty booked from what I saw. Food: For the Royal Tea Experience, each of us got: tea of choice, 5 tea sandwiches (Cucumber Dill Cream cheese, Chicken Salad, Egg Salad, Cranberry Turkey pinwheel, Roast Beed Arugula), 2 scones (Vanilla and Strawberry), Cream, Strawberry preserve, berries and some grapes, 3 desserts (mini muffin, Chocolate brownie, some kind of mini cake). The tea pots were a lot smaller than other places I've been to (probably enough for 1.5 cups of tea if filled to the rim). I love the heart-shaped sugar cubes, the size is just enough for a half teaspoon of sugar. They didn't have any milk for the tea set up like other places I've been to. I love the roast beef sandwich balanced flavor; the chicken one is really bland, a dash of curry powder would enhance the flavor more in my opinion; the cucumber needs to be sliced thinner as these slices are rather chunky; the scones are fine - I usually prefer my scones warm but only 1 place I know that serve it that way. The tea selection is decent, I went for Jasmine Rose. I feel that the scent and tea flavor was rather weak. There was barely any scent of each so it didn't leave a big impression on me. I want to try other ones in the future for sure. The staff was super nice to offer an extra tea bag if the flavor is too weak so I went for another bag. Service: Excellent! They were fast, courteous, and friendly. 2 staff made their rounds frequently to check on us and made sure we had enough hot water in our tea pots . Parking: This is where I docked up a star. The parking lot is shared with many businesses in the same strip mall. I came here at 10 AM on a Saturday and the whole parking lot was filled, there was no spot for me to park. My friend had to park all the way on the other side of the mall and I managed to find some parking in the back (side street). Avoid lunch time at all cost, there were cars waiting around as they couldn't find any parking. After the tea experience, we went somewhere else and upon coming back around 3 PM, half the parking lot is empty. If I would give anyone a tip on the parking time, it seems to be ideal around this time.
