Auntie Nani's Cookies

So we wanted to get some true local cookies instead of the Honolulu Cookie Company mass produced products.Did some research and found that Aunty Nani's has a booth Saturday mornings at the KCC Farmers Market at the Kapi' Olani Community College.I met Eddie and his Aunt... Aunty Nani... yes there is a real Aunty Nani.  Eddie is awesome... he will offer samples for everything. The number 1 and 2 sellers are the macadamia nut chocolate chip and oatmeal chocolate chip mac nut cranberry cookies.  After the samples...I know exactly why... they are simply addictive.  Crispy and sweet not like the ones you get from the mass marketers.

I went to the Foodie Con at the Blaisdell when a lovely lady gave me a sample of her chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie. It was so delicious! I bought a bag and devoured the whole bag to myself. I couldn't get enough and had to find out where she sold her cookies. I had to look her up online and try to find a way to get a hold of more cookies. Their crispy macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies were the best cookies I've ever had! Yes, I went on a little stalking mission to find where she sold these delicious cookies.I found her email address and off I went to ask where I could purchase more of her cookies. Aunty Nani responded and said I could pick up the order at the Gateway Center or find her at some of the farmers markets. It felt like I had my very own cookie dealer!She was so sweet and said that texting her was easier for her to respond to than email. She implied she wasn't too keen with technology. Awww, such a sweet aunty.She texted me to say she was at the fair on Tuesdays at Waimanalo, Thursdays at Kapolei and Saturdays at Ala Moana on the 2nd floor near the Target entrance. Score! I decided to find her at Ala Moana that Saturday and met this lovely lady. I bought the Cranberry Nut cookie and the Macadamia Nut Chocolate chip cookies. The best ones are the Macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies and I get why it's so popular. I met Aunty and she was such a sweet lady. She smiled and remembered who I was and I just told her how much I loved her cookies. I believe a family member was helping her out at the table and he said how much she loves baking. I could tell that she takes pride in making these cookies and the love that goes into making them. It's an amazing delight... I honestly have not had any cookies taste like these before. I had to yelp this business because I had to share this with my fellow yelpers. You're welcome, Yelp Fam... you're going to fall in love with these cookies. Go support your local Aunty.

Bought the macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies at the Saturday market at Ala Moana and wish I would have bought more. They are so delicious and love supporting local small businesses. Since I don't live local I missed out on enjoying more of their cookies.

Walked past their table at Ala Moana (near Target) after lunch and uncle offered samples. Their best seller, the macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies are insanely good!! Had to look them up to figure out how to buy more, and here I am leaving this review.Edited to add... that I'm not even much of a cookie person. But this was impressive and possibly the best cookie I've ever tasted.

Found these cookies one day at a stand in the Ala Moana. We asked a person who had just purchased some, and they said they were fantastic. Sure enough, they were! One of the best cookies I've ever had.

Best cookies that I have ever eaten. I will absolutely travel to the other side of the Island for these cookies.
