All cookies are individually heat-sealed in a cellophane bag to maintain freshness and flavor. If left in their bags, the cookies should stay fresh for up to 2 weeks. If you're not planning to eat the cookies within a week, I recommend freezing them for maximum freshness. See below on how to freeze your cookies!

Absolutely! My cookies freeze very well. Customers will often freeze the cookies if I am unavailable for the exact pick-up date they would like. Tips for freezing cookies: Carefully place them in an airtight container or Ziploc (if using a Ziploc, place a cookie sheet under it for stability). Rather than stacking them on top of one another, try stacking them on their sides. If your cookies are packaged in a box, you can simply leave them in there and put the box in the freezer. Take them out of the freezer the night before you'll be needing them. Important: DO NOT open the container or Ziploc bag until the cookies are completely thawed. Opening the container may cause condensation and ruin the cookies. It's best to just take them out of the freezer and leave them until morning.

The sooner the better! I typically book 2-3 months in advance. While cookies are my passion and I love making my customers happy, I'm also a busy, loving mother with a day job/career. If you need cookies sooner or are wondering about my availability, head to the Custom Orders to submit a request and I'll get back to you shortly.

Unfortunately, I do not at this time.

Payment is due upon ordering. Cookie orders are not booked until they are paid in full. For very large orders, a non-refundable deposit is required to hold the date.

I am able to refund and cancel your cookie order up to 14 business days prior to your pick-up date. Note: No refunds will be given for cookies that have already been made (this includes cookies for holiday pop-ups). Any holiday cookies that are left 24 hours after the pick-up times have ended will be forfeited with no refund unless other arrangements have been made with me.
