Mountain View Stone Cookies

Mountain View Stone Cookies

I don’t understand why people love these so much. They are hard, bland and stale.

Stone Cookie with Coffee

They do taste really good with coffee though. Maybe it’s the Hawaiian version of biscotti?

Well, maybe I do understand them after all. Good cookies these are. :)

    James-
    the i agree, plain ones are so-so. I do like the chocolate chip ones better. If you are going to give them a try,best get it from the bakery direct.

    I too never understood the following for this cookie? (i.e. paperweight, hockey puck, skipping stone) They show up here at work on Oahu from God knows where?

    It’s been around forever! I’ve heard some toast them and butter it like a slice of bread. I’m afraid to bite them ’cause I might break my teeth! Maybe the dentists’ are perpetuating the myth of the Stone Cookie”….. now stoney cookies and brownies are another story.

    Stone Cookies - to die for………

    We have searched everywhere, all the other Hawaiian Islands and on the Mainland - ‘No Stone Cookies’….!!!

    Yes, we are actually planing a trip back to Hilo once again - just for the Stone Cookies !!! We live in Oak Park, CA. and own a nice place in Kauai, but on Kauai they have never heard of Stone Cookies !!!

    I must open a life line between the Big Island and California and arrange for monthly shipments of Stone Cookies to the millions in this State !!!

    Yes, I’ll kill for these cookies…… any suggestions - PLEASE respond to:
    rngstein@sbcglobal.net …….. In desprate need of a Stone Cookie Fix..!!!

    These are my favorite cookies. I remember growing up in Mt. View and going in the back of the bakery to get the fresh baked Stone Cookie and bread. When every any of my friends from the mainland go the Hawaii for vacation, I tell them to bring back so Stone cookies. I like them with crunchy peanut butter and milk. The best…My friends also enjoy them.

    Where on Oahu did you find them??? I’m working with kids in an after school program and wanted to either make them with the kids of have them eat them. We’re studying rock, crystals, and gems.

    My sis from Hi just mailed me a package! These cookies bring back A LOT of memories for me since my parents are originally born and raised from the Big Island! Visits to grandma & grandpa’s house every summer! ROCK COOKIES with ovaltine for breakfast or for a great snack after visiting the volcano and its lava flow! As a little girl I never liked them because they are hard as rock! But during the years and visits to Hilo I have acquired a taste for them. Great to take on hiking or hunting trips. These cookies are the best!
