How big are the cookies?
Size of custom cookies will vary. Approximate measurements will be provided in your quote. Measurements are taken from the cookie cutter used to cut the dough. Baked cookies will be slightly larger.
Storing Cookies
Individual cookies are bagged and heat-sealed and will stay fresh for up to two weeks from delivery date. Keep them in a cool, dry place and out of the sun. Sunlight can cause the colors to fade.
You can also freeze properly packaged cookies for up to 3 months. Pop them into an airtight container or Ziploc bag and put them in the freezer. To defrost, place the frozen cookies in their container or Ziploc bag on the counter at room temperature. DO NOT open the container or Ziploc bag until they've had a chance to defrost (usually 3 to 4 hours). Otherwise, condensation will form on the top of the cookies and ruin the icing.
Allergy Warning:
An ingredient label will be attached to every favor bag, tray, or gift box.
Cookie ingredients: flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and flavoring.
Royal icing ingredients: powdered sugar, meringue powder, vanilla, corn syrup, and food coloring. Toppings may include sprinkles, non-perils, and other edible decorations.
All our cookies are made in a clean kitchen that may process wheat, eggs, milk and dairy products,
tree nuts, peanuts, fish, crustacean shellfish and soy. If you have any food allergies please do not eat our cookies.
