Cooooooookies....
This is the only time I pay for penis. All 6 bucks of it. Sadly I did not eat all of it bc it was too big (ha) and I'm not a fan of macaroon fillings or coconuts (coconut shavings on the balls), which makes up this cookie. But the chocolate outside was t.a.s.t.y.
They also have other cookies and treats like the chocolate peanut butter cookie and chocolate toffee cookie I ordered. Those were scrumptious! Soft and buttery, just the way I likes it! They have "venus" cookies shaped in a lady's torso but they're not as exciting as the pee pee. They also sell hot cookie panties. Hollaaaaaa....
Located in the Castro district, you can't miss it with its big red neon sign. -

I didn't try the penis cookie, but I had the chocolate fudge cookie today (about $2.60 by weight) and it was perfect. Crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. The chunky chocolate pieces were just what I wanted! You see, I have the habit of picking off chocolate chips from chocolate chip cookies and just eating the chocolate chips. Strange, I know, but there's something about baking the chocolate that makes it taste so good. You know what, I actually ate most of the cookie part too, so it was REALLY GOOD! I definitely want to try the macadamia cookies and macaroons the next time I'm in Castro!
I'm drooling. -

Review from Akvile H.
I did it all for the cookie, the cookie, yup...the Hot Cookie!
If you're craving something sweet and wonder what the delicious aroma of baked goods is in the street, it's this place!
It's a tiny little spot, super friendly service, a delicious variety of freshly baked cookies, rice crispy bars, and much more. Their cookies are super soft, delicious, huge, and get several, you may not want to share too much, even if you are the most caring sharing person on the planet. Satiate your sweet tooth here! -

A penis cookie. Covered in chocolate with a macaroon filling.
Where else are you gonna find such a thing? I came here around 1 yesterday and was instantly greeted by the worker behind the counter. :) A penis cookie here is $6.25 and I have yet to try it, but I am definitely having high expectations for it due to the many positive reviews! :) I wanna come back soon and get the "Venus" cookie which is a cookie in the shape of a woman's body. -
Review from Sofia R.
Some friends from SoCal were visiting so when they told me they wanted to check out the Castro, I told them that we needed to stop by Hot Cookie.
Hot Cookie, in my opinion, does not sell the most amazing cookies in the world (though I am particularly fond of the cocoa cayenne and the toffee chip) but the novelty and the overall naughty silliness of the shop is always fun to check out.
My friends marveled at the tighty-whities they sold, the "scandalous" pictures on the walls, and of course the infamous penis cookie (there was a woman's torso too but I think the penis is more fun).
We weren't really in the mood to buy much so I got a rumball for my myself and my vegan friend got the gingersnap (the only vegan cookie they had in the case). Total cost less than $4 or $5 I believe. I know the snaps cost around 50 cents or so depending on the weight.
Anyway, I never had either of those before and both were good. The rumball is more like a truffle than anything and the rum taste is very strong in this one. The gingersnap is also strong in ginger taste despite the small size.

Review from Matt G.
In the Castro, it was a cold and a deserted Wednesday night.
No men, boys, or beast anywhere, in sight.
Hot Cookie is where I, roam the street.
A $6.25 chocolate covered penis macaroon was my treat.
Taking the Muni Metro & imbibing my treat with, an insensible self-pride.
Many passengers on the Metro looking at me, "shockingly stupefied".

This place is dangerous. I love it so much. The chocolate chip cookies are my favorite. I'm pretty sure they are 98% butter, but I just don't care.
I'm just thankful that Hot Cookie is 5 blocks away because otherwise we'd have serious problem.
FYI- they're cash only, so come prepared. -

I'm a cookie fan in general, but you hand me a melt-in-your-mouth/hand, warm chocolate chip cookie, and I MELT! This cookie was SO good. I went with a small group and I ordered several to try. The chocolate chip is my favorite, but that's no new revelation; that's generally always the case. My next feat here is having my picture placed on their wall. ;) I just need to hit the gym first...right after I get done eating.

I am in LOVE with their macaroon penis cookie! This is a treat that you can definitely share with someone. This cookie stays fresh compared to most cookies. It still tasted delicious after a day in the refrigerator. I definitely need to make a trip to Hot Cookie for more naughty desserts ;)

The most delicious, soft, heavenly cookies you've ever eaten. Hands down some of the best cookies I've had in my 23 years on this earth. I literally go out of my way on my commute home to stop by this place. Definitely avoid if you're trying to stick to a diet.

PENIS COOKIE
Yes, it is the only reason I came to this bakery...so my cousin could buy a penis cookie as a gag gift for a friend. They are pretty awesome actually. The macaroon is actually delicious and the balls are shredded coconut bits. The cookie is a couple bucks, which i think is too expensive...but if i really wanted to shock someone with a giant dick shaped macaroon, i'll definitely get it from here.Listed in: SAN FRANCISCO, FAST & JUNK FOOD

We drive out of our way to come here and often bring friends from out of town. I haven't had anything I disliked, but the cayenne chocolate cookie with white chips is probably the best cookie I've ever eaten. Check this place out.

This is a solid 4 stars. I tried 6 different cookies here and all were very good. They are just the right amount of slightly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I don't think I could pick a favorite as I really liked them all which is a bit rare. I also bought the penis macaroon, just because, and it was surprisingly delicious ;)

Stumbled upon this place while looking for a bar to hit up during NYE in the Castro. A friend's sudden hankerin' for cookies proved to be contagious so we all wanted to try it out.
The selection of cookies was pretty impressive, featuring varieties that I rarely see like coconut macadamia nut and pecan chip. After much consideration, I opted for the coconut macadamia nut cookie ($2.64). It was pretty delicious, highlighted by a sweet coconut taste and nice soft texture. I was a bit disappointed that these cookies were not warm, quite contradictory to this place's namesake. Considering that it was around 11pm and the texture of the cookie was chewy enough as is, it was still a very good cookie. My friend, swept up by the festive atmosphere of being in the Castro, decided to try out the famed penis cookie. Indeed, this monstrosity of a confection was shaped proportionately as a giant schlong, a coconut macaroon with a chocolate coating, with coconut pubes to top off the scrotal area. The actual cookie was pretty solid, but the novelty of suggestively putting that thing in your mouth in front of your friends made it more than worth it.
If you're in the Castro and need a quick and sweet snack, Hot Cookie should satiate that craving of yours. -

Who doesn't love a large tasty cock shaped macaroon cookie covered in chocolate?!
Especially in Castro?
I sure do.
Yum.
Made two stops in here recently and tried a few different cookies. All were pretty damn delish.
The Snickerdoodle is killer too. -

Went here with my boyfriend because he had to do a project something with sex and food. All we thought about was this place. They sell cookies that is shaped like a penis. So, we got it.
It was good. Very creative with the cookie. And the wall are amusing if you get to look at it when you stand in line. :)
I was pretty embarrassed we got a shaped penis cookie, but we'll come back again. :) -

THIS PLACE IS A DUMP!
It is filthy and the cookies are old and nasty with an after taste of straight up ash. yes ashes.
I have tried at least 5 different types of cookies and they were all gross, super dry, and with an aweful after taste.
STAY AWAY!!!
Also the pornographic pictures on the walls... REALLY??? They make me vomit.

Decent prices, great designs, cool variety... Hot Cookie is a happy place in the Castro, for sure.
Though they have great traditional cookies - in varied sizes, no less - what I really love is their milk chocolate toffee cookie. It's got that great, flavorful crunch, served soft on the inside, with a little hardness on the outside. I think it's something like 3 bucks, and worth it.
It's a tiny storefront, just trendy and small enough to get you in and out, but there's actually a few seats right around the corner, where you can watch the old F buses turn. Silver chairs for everyone, some homeless guys selling pencils or flowers and yelling at the bus drivers... all in a day. -

Some like it HOT! And I sure as heck do. I only wish there was more toffee (please add some t-chips) in the Chocolate Chip Toffee cookie. The cookie was warm and chewy... a lovely snack for the tummy. There's also plenty of hilarious photo candy on the walls for the eyes.

Love that their rice krispies treats are made with REAL marshmallows and are honestly probably the best tasting RKTs in San Francisco. However, if I had a child under a certain age, I would not bring them here, I'd make them wait outside while I ordered for them. How do you explain to a 5 year old girl why a chocolate covered macaroon filled penis is inappropriate for them to get? They should keep those things in the back and not on display, as if the raunchy pictures of almost naked men in those hot cookie underwear weren't bad enough. Clean it up, hot cookie....

Tiny tiny storefront, but the huge red neon "HOT cookie" sign caught my eye! and who doesn't love cookies???
The snickerdoodles are amazing! they have a gooey center, gooey! I ate that thing faster than you can say cookie.
Also tried pumpkin spice and ginger snap, they charge you by how much everything weighs, so not bad for $3 :) -

So, it's midnight and you've got a $5 bill burning a hole in your pocket. You could go for a fourth meal... but you want something sweeter.
Maybe you want something that involves hearing dance music blaring from the balcony of the Lookout while you make your purchase. Maybe you want to maximize your purchase and get a rice krispy treat that'll take you three days to eat. Maybe you want to eat a dick cookie, who knows. Or maybe you just want a thick, gooey cookie from a place that has never failed to sell a perfect cookie.
For all of your midnight munchies, cookie wanting needs, you can find them at Hot Cookie. Open late, cash only, always spot on with the baked goods. -

I like phallic cookies.
This wasn't my first time at the rodeo, but I wasn't sure what to expect when I was handed a giant black wiener cookie but it was noon and the Castro Street fair and I had already seen a lot of things I didn't expect and washed them down with some libations, so when I bit into it and found a coconut macaroon, I was surprised.
The balls were the best part. -

Live down the street and this place is incredible. I'm also a HUGE fan of coconut macaroons, and everything is better with chocolate, so I definitely have to recommend their special that they are known for.
Also had the snickerdoodle when I went, and that was incredible as well. Honestly though, I am a chocolate person so I naturally preferred the chocolate covered one over this.
One thing that you HAVE to know is to bring cash! They are open late but honestly, can't they start taking credit card? -

I was excited to come in to Hot Cookie after reading the reviews and also being a lover of cookies...of course.
Didn't get the penis shaped cookie- although hilarious and made me blush, but the other cookies we tried were underwhelming and pricey. $2.75 for a Chocolate Chip cookie? I'll make my own Nestle Tollhouse cookies over Hot Cookie any day.Listed in: Bay Area

Review from Court C.

One of my RA's and I took about 40 freshmen to Hot Cookie last Friday night around 12am. Considering that they closed at 1am, we were scared there wouldn't be a variety, but we were wrong. Majority of the students brought the finely crafted penis cookies, and the rest of us got a mixture. The combination of cookies and naked men walking around in Castro was delicious. We will be back again very VERY soon :-)

Any time I'm in the mood for a phallic-shaped cookie, I know just the place to go. All jokes aside - their cookies are pretty tasty. Great texture - crispy yet chewy - just the way a cookie should be.
