FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the cookies individually sealed?

Yes, each cookie is individually heat sealed in oxygen barrier bag.

How long do the cookies last?

The cookies will last 2-3 weeks on the counter if the bag is unopened. A great tip is to freeze right away, what you will not enjoy in the first few days and this will prolong the shelf life several months if cookies are put in the freezer right away.

Do you recommend putting the cookies in the refrigerator to keep fresh?

Cookies will stay fresh in the Freezer for 3 months if you get the cookies in right away. To defrost, simply put them on the counter the day before enjoying or set in front of a fan for a couple hours.

How long until the cookies arrive?

We bake and ship the cookies three days a week. From the time of shipping the cookies time varies by service selected, carrier and where they are shipping to

UPS 2nd Day Air to the mainland takes 2-4 business days.
UPS Ground estimated shipping timelines are as follows:
   + West Coast 3 Days
   + Midwest 3-4 Days

   + Midwest 5-6 Days

UPS is the fastest shipping method.  
 In anticipation...We individually heat seal each cookie to keep fresh for three weeks so not to worry if cookies are a bit delayed.
Postal carriers are working hard and doing the best they can.

Why is the first available shipping day so far away?

We are a tiny bakery and limited to how many cookies we can make a day. Each small batch is hand rolled and not machine made. This is what makes our cookies special. When the shipping slots fill up, our website will automatically roll over to the next available day that has an open shipping availability.

Is the price for one cookie?

Yes, each cookie is about 6oz and 3 servings with the exception of the Half Baked that is 8oz. They are like mini cakes and very large. Each order is one giant sized cookie.
