Mo Cookies: Waco’s Best Cookies
For legit some of the BEST cookies you can find in Waco, make sure you stop by Mo Cookies. It’s a female-owned black-owned cookie/brownie bakery in Waco serving up homemade cookies prepared in small batches.
I have a sweet tooth (no one is surprised…) and desperately wanted a chocolate chip cookie last week. I looked at my running list of “to try in Waco” on my notes app and saw that Mo Cookies was pretty close to me. And I’m so glad I stopped by!

Mo Cookies: A History
This Waco cookie shop was started by Momma Mo, a wife and mother who grew up watching the women in her family make the best desserts you could possibly imagine. After baking thousands of cookies, cakes, and other sweets (and raising 4 sons - we all know that had something to do with the amount of food she churned out in the kitchen!), she decided to share these desserts publicly by opening a storefront in Waco, TX.
The cookies at Mo Cookies are made the old fashioned way: handmade in small batches with real butter, eggs, sugar and vanilla. And you can taste the difference!
The Menu At Mo Cookies
The menu is heavy on the cookies (no surprise there) with about 10 options available on any given day. When I walked in and asked for their two most popular options so I could try them, the kind man behind the counter pointed at all 10 and said, “you’re looking at ‘em! We’ve narrowed it down to these.”
So, in an attempt to not eat 10 cookies in one afternoon, I picked the Party Time cookie (sugar cookie packed with golden Oreos, white chocolate chips, and sprinkles) and a Good God cookie (chocolate chips, white chocolate, roasted pecans, oats, cinnamon, and nutmeg.)
Other cookie flavors:
Classic Chocolate Chip
Snickerdoodle
Strawberry Lemonade Cookie
Campfire
Oatmeal Raisin
M&M Chocolate Chip
Peanut Butter
My Lord (butter cookie with maple and toasted pecans)
Sugar Cookie
Lemonade Cookie
Pecan Chocolate Chip
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip
Oreo Cheesecake Cookie
Sea Turtle
Other menu items:
Brownies
Rice Krispy Treats
Dessert Cups
Ice Cream (Bluebell)
Shakes
Umm, do you want to order one of everything, or is it just me? You can probably see why they offer cookie delivery…we’re all going to have a random moment later today when we’re suddenly craving one of these cookies!
The Bakery Experience at Mo Cookies
Mo Cookies is a small counter-service cookie shop. You can just stop by and order a few cookies to bring with you.
It’s a cute place, but small. Don’t plan on dining in here - it’s definitely a takeaway experience.
Other desserts I love in Waco: the cookies at Milk Bottle Cookies (omg!), cupcakes at Sweetness Desserts and Silos Baking Co, ice cream at Heritage Creamery, or and of course any of the desserts on this guide to the best desserts in Waco. There are too many to list here, so head to this post to see all of my favorites!
