Orders can be placed months in advance to a few days before the event. Please remember to add a few extra days if you are having your order shipped. Even though your cookies are not made until 1-2 days before you need them, please place your order early to guarantee the date of pick up/shipping that you want. Some weeks are busier than others especially in May and December. We encourage a two week lead time for all orders.

We don’t like to turn down any orders unless it’s physically impossible to get your order completed in time.

After the cookies are individually wrapped they are packed carefully in a box cushioned with plenty of bubble wrap. We take extra care in wrapping and packaging of your cookies. We always include some extra cookies in the rare occasion that any cookies arrive broken. Some cookie shapes are too fragile and we will not ship them. Regrettably, we cannot offer a refund if 1-2 cookies are broken but if your order arrives completely crumbled please call us immediately at 718-966-CUTE (2883) and we will work with you to fix the problem as best we can.

Individual cookies are great for party favors. They are sold by the dozen. Cookie gift boxes are sold individually with 6, 12 or 18 cookies in each gift box. They are great for birthday gifts, to welcome a new baby, to congratulate a new wed or engaged couple, holiday, teacher and thank you gifts. The cookies are individually wrapped, put in a gift box and then tied with a matching bow. A card can also be included.
