What is it about things covered in chocolate? What is it about things on a stick? What is it about things shaped like a phallus? What is it that is so great about a penis on a stick? Well. It's something. Together, it's a sinful combination.
They're hard and they're waiting for you.
=======================
2 chocolate dongs on a stick + 1 chocolate brownie on a stick + 1 macaroon = 15.50$
I'll come back for the underwear next time.
They should make edible underwear.
"Tastes so good I want to dip my balls in it!"
Well sir, if your balls are macaroons please have at. Then place said delicious macaroon balls, now covered in heavenly chocolate and if you know whats good for you coconut shavings, in my mouth.
Thats right. BALLS IN MY MOUTH, stat.
Nothing brightens my day like opening my fridge to the glorious sight of a penis macaroon.
Next time you find yourself sinking your teeth into a larger-than-life dark-chocolate-enrobed penis, you've got to stop and ask:
1. Does my man know? Will he be jealous?
2. I can take a bite *and* be welcome back for more, is it for real? So, I have to use my teeth? (It will melt in your mouth if you resort to simply sucking on it.)
3. It's huge; do you want to share it with me?
4. Do these come in milk chocolate? White chocolate?
5. Gosh, it's so heavy, does this count as a workout?

Aside from ginormous penis-macaroons, the cookies are fab.
Mini cookies... perfect for getting one of each and not feel like you're missing out on any variety and not totally going overboard.
The soft-core porn on the walls is a little tacky; I'd rather make my own instead of seeing you sport your Hot Cookie briefs. Considering the location of this wondrous little shop of goodies, I guess it adds to the charm and allure. It doesn't keep me away for sure.
Pricing is ambiguous since it's not really marked anywhere but charging by the pound is brilliant, or at least, a fair way of peddling your goods. Bonus points for staying up late and satisfying sugar cravings when nearby sweet shops are closed for the night.
I'll be back for more.
This is my favorite place to shock out of towners coming to visit. Not to mention a must for an bachelorette parties in your future. Yes, they have the crazy novelty item cookies. But more importantly their cookies are just really good! It's a must for a snack if you are seeing a show at the Castro theatre down the street.
My favorite is the fudge peanut butter bar. It's soo decadent that it took me and two friends a couple of days to polish it off.
Stopped by here after seeing "Nine" at the Castro...with the delicious smells wafting out of there...it was mandatory, frankly!!!
All I can say is: WOWWYGOLLYJEEZ!!!!!!!! I felt like the kids must have when they were first unleashed inside Willie Wonka's Chocolate Factory!!! Row after row after ROW of yummy cookies, brownies, macaroon's, rice crispie treats and more!!!!! Definitely a Mecca for anyone with a sweet tooth!! So tasty! I will definitely be back! The crew that works at the shop were completely fun and energetic and helpful!!! All one could do was point and nod!! I shared my "haul" with friends I met up with later and the question heard over and over again was "OMG!! WHERE did you GET these??" So Hot Cookie...I think you will have even MORE clients stopping by very soon!
A few Sundays ago, our group went to Hot Cookie after brunch at Lime. Needless to say, I knew we were going to make some very smart and funny remarks after downing bottomless mimosas.
My gf got the mini-pumpkin and ginger snaps cookies, while my sis and I came here for the novel item: dark chocolate covered penis cookie. It's really an ENORMOUS coconut macaroon.
We came up with reasons why a cookie penis is better than the real one:
1. No shrinkage
2. It doesn't squirt you in the eye
3. The chocolate melts in your mouth and not in your hand
4. Hello! it's covered in DARK chocolate. It's really true -- once you go black.... =0
5. For about $6, it brings you happiness and you don't have to work hard at it. BEST. DEAL. EVER.
After a few more giggles and photo shots, we headed home and took a nap.
I woke up thirsty and opened the fridge to get water. I see the penis cookie in the fridge.
I immediately took it out and yelled at my sis: "hey, you're not supposed to put it in here! it's gonna get HARD!"
Her reply: "oh good. Won't have to worry about erectile dysfunction then."
It's a warm sunshiney day today. After days of endless fog and clouds looming over the city, my… Read more »
I love me some HOT COOKIE! I've only been here a couple times and both times were more than satisfactory!
I took my bf here for the first time last night as we were in the area for a friend's party. FRESH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES - my favorite! I picked up one and a M&M rice krispie treat. My bf ordered an oatmeal raisin cookie and a brownie. I spent about $9 for all the treats - not bad for the quality.
So good! We didn't get to eating them for about 45 minutes, and even after then, the chocolate chip cookie was soft, warm and just melted in my mouth. It was like there was a brownie inside of the cookie. That good! The rice krispie treat was HUGE and I saved some for breakfast this morning. So good! My bf's brownie was very decadent - the chocolate frosting on the top was so creamy and the brownie itself was so moist. I'm not a big fan of the oatmeal raisin, but the little bite I had was delicious. Could certainly taste the oatmeal!
When you go to the Castro, you can't miss the Hot Cookie sign! There were a couple of other treats I wanted to try, but wasn't so brave to just yet...perhaps next time!
I HEART Hot Cookie! Best chocolate chip cookies!!!
Hot Cookie has delicious items. They look like normal cookies but they are something special. The first time I went, it was after going out. I had peanut butter chocolate chip. I thought it was really good, but I needed to check. Last weekend, I went with a few people, so we tried many -- butch bar, cocoa cayenne, peanut butter chocolate chip, chocolate, maybe even something else. The butch bar was RIDICULOUS. hard to believe. looked kind of eh but tasted freaking delicious. I think you get it - YUM!
Hot Cookie is the best, except that it's too close to my house and I have to stop myself from going for post-dinner cookies two to three nights per week (I always get two cookies). My first two loves were toffee milk chocolate and cocoa cayenne cookies, but now I'm into pokies (M&M cookies) and pecan-chocolate chip cookies. Normally I love cookies with macadamia nuts, but the ones here are too dense/greasy for me to eat regularly. Additionally, this store has two positive things going for it that most in the Castro don't have: it's open almost all the time, and the people who work there are all really friendly and down-to-Earth.
The snickerdoodle is a chewy cinnamon bun of a cookie and might be my favorite cheap treat in the city. Any friends I've dragged here always pick up something delicious and my boyfriend is particularly fond of the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie.
As for the phallic macaroons, I don't get the hype. You're in the Castro, kids. There are tasty penises everywhere.
After leaving Chow we headed over to Hot Cookie on the waitress' recommendation and I was glad we did! The place is tiny and interestingly decorated. We ordered several tiny coconut macaroons, a couple chocolate chip cookies, a marshmallow treat and a macadamia nut & chocolate chip cookie. They were all great! I was tempted to try a chocolate covered penis, but I think maybe I'll save those for the next bachelorette party I host & have them shipped to me.
I don't remember how I got lured into this place...was it the fresh baked cookie aroma? the bumping house music? or pictures of half naked hot men posted all over the store?
Funny how I've never spotted this cutie little cookie joint in the heart of the neighborhood that I love to visit...and am happy to add on to my list of cookie joints
Love the enticing aroma as the bumping house music raced along with my heart seeing my most favorite desert in the world...cookies, my friends
Cookies were prepared fresh and the colors suggested that they were baked just right (not overcooked or burnt). The chunk was huge in size & no dryness of the crunch at all
I tried the delectable Toffee chip... one of the best toffee chip cookies I've ever tasted. It was crunchy, soft mixed & the best part was the toffee goo of the cookie... out of this world
Chocolate chip cookies were also satisfying especially with enough sweetness of the chocolate to keep you awake on a midday
And to all the girls, lady men ladies & bitches...you've gotta try the great penis (shaped macaroons)...lovin' the concept of cookies shaped in body parts that you can take a bite off of ....purrr
Big thanks to the cashier hottie who suggested that the cookies taste even better while wearing your hot pants...
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR PENIS AND EAT IT TOO!!!
5 points for filming a porno here!! They should have a bathroom and play it in there.
Hands down these are the best cookies ever! They are fresh, warm, and perfect for a little snack while walking through the Castro on a cold day.
I stumbled across this place while walking to Starbucks to get a "grande-nonfat-mocha-no whip-with two equals" for my beautiful wife. I initially just walked by and didn't buy anything. But there was no doubt I was admiring the cookies in the window. So I eventually came back and bought 6 or 7 different varieties of their cookies. WHOA! Great selection of flavors. Beautiful looking cookies. Very big and clumpy. Examples include snickerdoodle, macademia coconut, chocolate-chip peanut butter ... you get the picture. Great tasting cookies. A bit on the expensive side. They sell by weight. Average cookie will run you about $2.50. If you want to scrimp a little, they have mini cookies too, but not in all the great flavors. So if you ever are taking a stroll on Castro Street right near Market and you want a very nice cookie treat, this place is worthy.
Forget about the penis cookie the Butch Bar is where it's at. Two turn tables and a microphone (and a butch bar). Two big square slabs of chocolate with almost an inch of real homemade peanut butter smeared in the middle. Ba- Blam!
Stopped by Hot Cookie while my husband and I were visiting down in the Castro.
What a cute little cookie shop that has more to offer than just cookies. I had the chocolate chip cookies with pecans and they were so good! The cookies melt in your mouth and I had chocolate all over my hands and mouth! As I waited for my cookies I looked at all the pictures on the wall and the red underwear hanging which make Hot Cookie such an interesting little shop!
Hot Cookie offers so much more than just cookies. I'm from Texas and we definitely don't have any cookie shops like this here. I can't wait to come back to SF and back to the Castro for some more hot cookies!
Give me a cookie or two or three.
This place has great cookies and baked well.
Love the pics on the wall and it built character to the shop.
They also have cookies shape as body parts and its not groom. But its not a bush nor a forest so you are good.
Stop by when you are in the area and have a sweet tooth.
Yeah yeah yeah the gentialia bakery.....but really, their chocolate spicy cookies were so good I had to go get another one the next day. Open late and plastered with pictures of twinks in Hot Cookie underwear, which looks available for purchase. My next Yelp pic in em!
Just enjoying a nice stroll on a sunny day with wife and kid and stumbled across Hot Cookie. Since we all like oatmeal raisin cookies, grabbed two for the three of us. Was shocked, shocked! that it came out to $5. So I thought "well, this must be an amazing cookie". We all tried it. It was good. Maybe they use special raisins? special oats? special bakers? Don't know, don't care. The cookie was good, not great, and certainly not worth $2.50. I'll stick with my Mrs. Fields. If the cookie was $1.25 I would give this place 4 stars. At $2.50 each, 2 stars.
Fun place to go in the castro to get the real gay feeling. Penis cookie please! And I think that their cookies are great, and they really are hot. Love that they have mini ones too!
When I first moved back to San Francisco I actually briefly worked nearby this place.
Each morning the enticing smells of melted chocolate and soft sugar cookie dough would waft past my nostrils - as I made my way to work.
It was sinfully painful.
And so late at night - after a long day, I would find myself waiting in line with the countless others stricken with munchies - just waiting for a just out of the oven penis cookie fix.
The cookies taste just as good as they smell. Though not cheap - two dollars for multiple bites of pure happiness is worth the sacrificed bus fare.
Oh and their red underwear briefs with Hot Cookie loudly printed on the tush - are perhaps the most adorable things ever. Sport a pair of these (and I'm speaking to you - both men and women) - with a plate of Hot Cookies - and you're guaranteed a (cough, cough) sweet night.
Very delicious melt-in-your-mouth cookies!!! I had the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie and thought it was much better than Mrs. Fields, though very sweet.
Wanted to try the smooth, dark penis but I'm not a fan of macaroons so I had to pass.
Though expensive for cookie (about $2.75 a pop) it's quite worth it if you're in the area!
If you need a treat, get your butt over to hot cookie NOW. There is NO substitutes for cookies in San Francisco. After a long hard day of work or touristing, get over here and get a cookie!!! OR GET 20!!!! The smell is intoxicating. Remember to keep milk handy or bring extra cash to buy some there. I will part with two words..
WARM SNICKERDDOOOOOODLEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Who dosn't love cookies... and especially if they are in the shape of body parts?
Also... they have little red briefs... kind of a two for one treat...
I miss living in the great city of SF... *Sigh*
Partying the streets of Castro... Beautiful HOT sexy men that I will never ever have a chance with... *sigh*... checking out the latest sex toys... *double sigh*... Hot men walking their cute doggies... *triple sigh*... Walking pass the line to Hot cookie... *turns around to the end of the line*
Every time I'm at the Castro, I always hit up HC and of course a few sex shops to go along with my tasty treats. I love sweets, no doubt. But what makes HC stand out from the rest of all bakeries in the city... ???
Their 6 inches of pure pleasure dark decadence with a set of coconut kissed balls...to wraps my lips around... tempting my taste buds.... *Orgasmic deep sigh*http://www.yelp.com/bi...
Good cookies for to calm down a craving for sweets yet very rich and sweet! However they only take in cash which is a hassle at times.
After Tea at Samovar in the Castro, we decided to take advantage of the great day & walk around the neighborhood.....what immediately pops out is Hot Cookie
All tourists should experience this little gem so I take my London friend right over
Ladies' torsos, penises, brownies on a stick, what's not to love?
I opted for the Toffee Chocolate Chunk Cookie & it was okay - guess I was hoping for something w/ a more distinct toffee flavor. This tasted just like a plain ole choc chip - a good cookie but not what I was expecting
Friend opted for the Penis! How could she not?! Huge chocolate covered macaroon - as we're walking out, she takes the cookie out of the bag & goes, gosh, I don't think this will fit in my mouth....
.....just as 2 guys walk past us & exclaim "Alright, ladies!"
A classic SF moment!
BTW - she loved the cookie
Cookies = 3 Stars
Offering an only-in-SF moment = 4 Stars
Holy goodness. Can I please have a dozen Snickerdoodles stat? Those are incredible. Our cookies weren't 'hot' per se... at 9pm on a Tuesday in January, but they were delicious! The Cocoa Cayenne was good [just as good as a Specialtys cookie, imho], but the Snickerdoodle -- yummmmm! Yummmmmmmm!!!!
Yum yum, hot cookie!
Can I get a Snickerdoodle? A chocolate-dipped brownie-on-a-stick?
Aw, sookie, sookie!
Hot dudes in underpants?
Lookie-Lookie!
Got a sweet tooth in the Castro?
Head to Hot Cookie! :)
I'm a tough judge, I know. Really, these cookies are mediocre and because of that they are more than obviously over priced. Honestly I'd rather have a Mrs. Field's or an Otis Spunkmeyer over these. Granted the penis cookie is really fun and as large as life or larger in some cases LOL, it's still mediocre as taste goes and so is the chocolate which coats it.
If you haven't tried Specialty's Bakery then you do not really know what an INCREDIBLE tasting cookie really is unless you have some incredible recipe you make at home. All Specialty's cookies are GREAT.
A little tip for you: Martha Stewart's oatmeal cookie recipe is AMAZING and as high quality tasting as Specialty's; though a unique twist it's still up to par. Remember to toast your oats on a cookie sheet before adding them to the batter for a more robust cookie. Also using Grade B maple syrup in place of half the sugar adds to a delectable flavor.
we happened to be waiting at a light to cross the intersection when one of my cousin wandered off, following the scent of freshly baked cookies. couple seconds later, she comes back saying "oh I thought 'hot cookie' was a cookie shop but it's a sex shop. go look at it." she was kind of surprised since it smelled so cookie-y and the store was called "hot COOKIE."
so cousin #2 and I walked to the window front to see briefs and other sexually suggestive items. then peeking through the door, we noticed that it was indeed a cookie shop. surprised again.
cousin #1 got some cookies to last us until lunch and we munched on them as we walked to our hilly destination. I ate the oatmeal cookie and it was delish.
I love HOT COOKIE for a few reasons.
- DELICIOUS Cookies (Plus a good selection)
- Chocolate Dipped Brownies
- Cute Underwear
- I'm on the wall (Twice actually)
- They give me free cookies when I come in all dressed up! ! ! (Hope that's okay for me to say here?)
HOT COOKIE is by far one of my favorite places in San Francisco. The cookies are absolutely delicious, and the shop people are great! Every time I take a friend here, and they have never indulged in a cookie from HOT COOKIE before, they always tell me how much they loved it (And they will even text me, telling me how much they want to go back!)
I personally love their Chocolate Dipped Brownies, Chunky Chocolate Chocolate Chip, & Marshmallow Bars! The prices are a tike bit high it seems, but then again, I find myself to hardly be able to finish my cookie! They are pretty big, and they also offer some cookies in smaller portions. This little bakery is very little indeed, but they definitely make up for it with great photos of customers in their HOT COOKIE underwear all over the walls, and vintage antiques/decor all around the shop. The shop people aren't too bad to look at either!
If anyone is in the area, this place is a must-see!
Oh my GOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHH!!
I am obessessessesssed with the cookies here. Their oatmeal raison cookies are to DIE for. Also their macaroons are so so so so good. Esp when they are warm and fresh out of the oven. This place is a landmark in sf. Hot Cookie is the perfect place for a quick and delicious sugar fix
This place has been around a while and even though I rarely go, I'm amazed at how great the quality of these cookies are.
I've only had the cookies and the last time I was here I had a Pecan Chocolate Chip that was incredible - all the pecans were in the center of the cookie and were a hearty addition to the cookie; it was also generously filled with chocolate chips.
I'd love to try some of those brownies since those look amazing too.
Good cookies, but lordy are they pricey! $2.50 for a "large" which is really not that big. Ok wait, the cookies are REALLY good. Yeah, the really is actually important to justify the price. I came in for the second time today, and this time got 6 small cookies for $2.40 instead of one for $2.50. (Hey, I believe in ROI.)
Suggestion: get chocolate chip for a baseline and then try other flavors. I wasn't too in love with the M&M ones but chocolate chip and fudge were great.
So the cookies are great, and the place is very Castro-y....so ok I'll deal with the price. And pretend they don't have a million calories each.
If you or someone you know likes sweets, ever menstruates, or deserves a treat, do all parties involved a favor and buy half a dozen cookies from Hot Cookie.
That should do the trick.
Good cookies - great when I get the munchies.
Hot Cookie, you're one hot cookie.
All lameness aside, their cookies are very sweet and yummy. It's a small store, but while you're deciding on which baked goods to get your hands on, scan the collage of pictures of people donning the hot cookie undies.
I got the oatmeal walnut chocolate chip cookie. And man is it loaded with walnuts. It was super chunky but warm when I took a bite, and the chocolate was melty. I want to say it was about $1.50. I wanted to go for the milk chocolate toffee cookie, but the thing looked too monstrous for me to splurge on. Next time though, I will.
Can't forget the penis shaped goodies!
Fun vibe, nice people working the counter, but cash only! They do use a weight system to determine how much your cookie's going to be though.
This place is amazing.
They have lemon bars and this is the most incredible thing about this place.
mmmmlemonbars.
Oh, it's also cash only.
