Ridiculously crave-worthy cookies and dough. It's obvious as soon as you walk in and are hit with the sweet aroma of cookies. We were visiting the area and I was sold when I saw the edible cookie dough (with edible brownie batter and cake batter too!) And then they were running a "buy 6, get 2 free" special that included cookies and dough. Regrettably, I only thought to take pics of the dough, but the cookies were a perfect post-hike snack for a few days. I suspect that everything they make is exceptional, but my favorites were the s'mores and chocolate PB cookies. The staff were also so friendly and helpful, quickly offering spoons and napkins to-go. read more

The cookies were good! Arrived one minute before closing and the staff was eager to serve us and the had a reasonable selection available. If you love a great peanut butter cookie theirs is top tier. read more

Great cookie place. They have an awesome selection and are clearly high-quality cookies. My personal favorite is oatmeal raisin but they have some good special ones too. Staff is friendly. Owners are great people! read more

These cookies are awesome! 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! read more

tl;dr the cookies exceed my highest expectations; get one of the cookie buttercream sandwiches to maximize decadence and satisfaction When I plan on going out for dessert, cookies are admittedly among the last treats that I consider. 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. read more

After having lunch at the Bashful Bison, we noticed a cookie shop was in walking distance to us, so we had to go check out a local cookie place! We decided on an apple cinnamon oatmeal with caramel cookie. It was large, but perfectly cooked - soft and chewy! It had great cinnamon and oat flavor with a caramel drizzle on top, but we really didn't detect apple, so we would have liked more apple spice flavor added. Based on our one experience, we could have easily gone back to try more cookies or their edible cookie dough if we had more time while we were visiting SD. I definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area. read more

Mary's by far has some of the best cookies I have ever had! Made fresh daily and has a lot of fun flavors. We were in Rapid City for three days and bought one every day and even brought a few back home with us for later lol. Don't sleep on this place if you are a cookie lover like me. read more

Their cookies are delicious!!! My husband had one of the sandwiches with icing in between two cookies. I had a fall seasonal cookie. Both were amazing!!! We'll definitely be back! You sooner give it a try! read more

In my opinion, Mary's Mountain Cookie will always be better than Crumbl. Not only are their cookies equally sizable, but they're tastier with better pricing. Mary's offers a wider selection of cookies, ensuring I can get my favorites each visit--namely, the almond sugar cookie and the buttercream frosted cookie. Mary's consistently offers a deal: buy 6 cookies and get 1 free. This offer has been seen across all the Mary's Mountain Cookie locations I've visited, adding even more value to an already delightful experience. Another comparision to Crumbl, they have an actual person serving you and helping you choose your cookies, which is unlike Crumbl, where I've served myself on their digital pads. read more

Huge cookies! There are so many choices, and they can make ice cream cookie sandwiches. Excellent service and great price.

On the hunt for dessert after dinner on a Monday night, when everything in town is apparently closed, we stumbled upon Mary's Mountain Cookies. There were so many delicious looking options that it was impossible to decide, so we ended up getting a box and taking advantage of the special. We tried everything from S'more's to oatmeal raisin, to something deliciously espresso. I don't think there was a single one that let us down! These cookies are enormous, so the best way to do it is to cut them into pieces like a pie so everyone can try lots of different flavors. read more

Mouth watering awesomeness, what more can I say, Mary's mountain cookies never let me down. Service with a smile, always my go to spot when I have a sweet tooth. read more

Just go here... It's worth the stop We came here and got 8 cookies along with some ice cream for the evening. All the cookies were great... The cookie sandwiches... extremely sweet! The teddy... incredible read more

Love the selection of these premium cookies. The s'more was like a cookie in a s'more. So many other classics as well. Friendly staff and we took several to go and ate during our trip to the Black Hills. They also have gluten free options. Definitely would check it out. read more

Hmmm... we had heard a lot about this place. But honestly, we've had a ton of cookies in our day, so maybe we're difficult to impress... and maybe easily offended. In this case, it was the sorta "artificial" flavorings of the cookies that didn't sit well with us. I mean they were OK, but ultimately we were disappointed... read more

Absolutely make Mary's Mountain Cookies a stop on your tour of downtown Rapid! They have a huge selection of cookies, ice cream, and edible cookie dough. We got the s'mores cookie which was a chocolate chip cookie topped with marshmallow and graham cracker. It was sooo good! Can't wait to go back and try the other desserts they offer! read more

Was a little disappointed by these cookies. The blueberry cheesecake one was uncooked where as the snickerdoodle was overly crunchy. The ice cream looked really good but we didn't try that. The service was friendly read more

Friendly service but my cookie was very dry. I had the Lady Elenor. My husband's oatmeal raisin was much better.

Great cookies and friendly staff. The smell is coming out of this bakery are amazing :-)

Well the girls that work here made this a fun experience. They were funny, willing to joke around and gave us good cookie advice. I feel bad I forgot their names. We had the chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip and a sourappledoodle (something like that). The chocolate chip cookies were both amazing. I love an oatmeal cookie. These cookies are grande sized too. They are not for the faint of heart. The sour apple was unique but I'm not much for sugar cookies and so it wasn't my favorite but my significant-cookie-loving-other said it was an amazing sugar cookie so there is that... Three cookies were $10 and they probably weighed 2lbs collectively so it felt like a good value. Yelp said they were closed in Sunday so we didn't go back for round two. Perhaps they need to reconsider being open on a Sunday in the summer when downtown is hopping. read more

This was truly a great hidden gem! The cookies were fresh and delicious. Just had couple of the cookies, peanut butter was my favorite. Next time will try the ice cream sandwich cookies! read more

I've definitely had better cookies than this business. We tried three different kinds and I really can't pick a favorite. They were all just ok cookies. read more

This place is the best. The cookies are phenomenal. Great service. They beat crumbl any day. Their packaged cookies are delicious and in stores and tourist traps throughout the area. But nothing beats the fresh, circles of heaven you get in the shop. read more

These cookies are magical. Seriously, how do they do it? They're moist, ginormous, flavorful and not too heavy. If my body would allow it, I would eat 30 of these in one sitting. read more

Delicious cookies and even better service! My bf were feeling some dessert and had just finished dinner at the restaurant next door, so we decided on cookies and ice cream due to the proximity - and glad we did! The staff allowed us lots of time ti think about what to order and we're very friendly. This was a family owned business, and I believe the son was assisting us. I ordered the chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream, and boy was it filling and satisfying! Mmmm mmm! The cookie was still soft ajd chewy even the next day when I ate the other half (the cookies are about 1/4 lb each). My bf had the Lady Eleanor cookie, and he thought it was super delicious and the service was excellent. We'll definitely drop by here again if we're ever in town. Highly recommended cookies! read more

OH MY GAWD! Do you like crumble cookie? That place is mediocre compared to this place. This small locally owned business is in the heart of Rapid City across from the Alex Johnson (Hilton) hotel. This place opens early in the morning with warm cookies. They also make ice cream sandwiches based on your cookie preference and also sells edible cookie dough. Every time we walked by, this place was busy. Unfortunately, with our other adventures we were not able to go there until the last day, so we took a few for the road. We regret not making this place a daily activity! When they say to buy local - this is the place to do it. It is superior to other chains. This place also offers a larger variety! read more

These cookies were incredible. We got several flavors and not one was bad. My favorite was the oatmeal, but I couldn't stop eating the others. read more

Don't get me wrong, I am supper excited we got to stop here. I was just sad the GF was limited, and frozen. They are realllllly good cookies. However, I got one snickerdoodle and one chocolate chip. They warmed them up and we hit the road.... only to find out our chocolate chip ... had no chocolate in them . Good cookies, just little disappointing in variety, frozen and chips read more

So by Mountain cookies, I think they are referring to their BOLD and inventive flavor and menu options. We're talking s'mores, lemon frosted, froot loop, ranch hand.. Edible cookie dough, cookie ice cream sandwiches, cookie milkshakes?!!? (They call them tornados.) Even with all these flavors, the classic chocolate chip, peanut butter, and snickerdoodle cookies still looked good too. I ended up getting a strawberry cheesecake cookie ice cream sandwich, which was definitely way too sweet for me and I have a sweet tooth. It has two large frosted cookies and maybe a 4 oz. scoop of ice cream, which I didn't take into consideration is a lot for one person. Next time I will get either a single cookie, or the smallest portion of cookie dough. The cookies themselves are delicious and seriously moist with just the right amount of softness. Idk why I didn't come here sooner. I much prefer them as the top specialty dessert shop over the very popular ice cream spot in town. Try them, but try to control yourself as well lol read more

Holy smokes these cookies were a great find. The shortbread with the cherry was insane (the others were also great - try the pop tart!). So good that I had some shipped as a thank you gift. They also have a great buy it forward cookie wall. read more

Incredible! I cant say enough about the molasses cookies. They only do them for the holidays and I know what you're thinking. Just get one, trust me. It'll change your world. read more

I stopped by Mary's Mountain Cookies downtown after seeing this store and the huge sized cookies before having dinner at a neighboring restaurant. Afterwards, I stopped by and looked at all the variety they were offering. I picked up one oatmeal raisin and 1 snickerdoodle cookie. They are on the pricier side but I didn't care as long as they tasted great. The staff was friendly and pleasant and actually thanked me when I left my change in the tip jar. read more

This might be the only cookie place in Rapid City and that's why it's so popular? It's not terrible but also not the best cookies I've ever had. The orange doodle is unique and fun. The woman selling the cookies was nice enough but not the most helpful for recommendations. read more

Good cookies at reasonable prices. Friendly service. They also had a couple gluten free cookies for my wife.

Butter Cream is not! Frosting is boring. Can't wait for crmbles cookies to open. I like that Mary's sells cookie dough. Cookies are mediocre. Great service read more

The Oatmeal Raisin cookies are very moist and mammoth in size. I appreciate the plump raisins. Not too sweet. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

Intrigued I literally ran in, bought a brownie and a cookie and ran off as we had to leave town. Wish I could go back - they were fan-freaking-tastic. Moist, and for me most critically, deep dark chocolaty (yes, that is a word!!!). read more

Their hours are not accurate anywhere. We went at 8:30, and Yelp says they close at 9, their website says 10, and the place actually closed at 7 when we tried to visit. I wouldn't bother attempting to go because you'll never truly know when they close. Disappointing read more

WOW!!! What an amazing find!! Found a few cookies for sale at Crazy Horse Monument, and they were so good! Found the shop on Google, and WOW!!! The cookies were a little overpriced except that they are the dreamiest things I've had in such a long time!! So wish this was located near me... or not! read more

I live out of state & was looking for a good cookie place to order a treat for my mom who lives in Rapid City. It's hard to order sweets for her because she has had some of the best in the world so she is very picky to say the least. But I decided to go with Mary's Mountain Cookies. So glad I did. She absolutely loved them, we even FaceTimed so she could show them to me. They were thick, beautiful and looked amazing. She raved about how good they were and said they were some of the best she's ever had in her life. I ordered a variety so she could sample each flavor. They were all fabulous. I will definitely be ordering from Mary's Mountain Cookies for my friends & family in Rapid from now on. Such a gem of a place! read more
