For this reason, we recommend choosing a date a few days before your event to ensure your order arrives in time for your guests! Our baked treats have a shelf life of 12 days, so you can order ahead and still ensure freshness.

How are cookie favors packaged?
Cookies for parties are baked fresh and immediately sealed in airtight packaging to preserve their out-of-the-oven quality and protect them from contaminants. Each order also includes cushioning to ensure your cookies arrive intact and are ready to enjoy.
Cookie party favors are packed as follows:
Nibblers®: Our bite-sized cookies come sealed in packs of three
Brownie bites: These small brownies come packaged in quantities of six. Upon arrival, they may look like one giant brownie, but they’re scored, so you can separate them easily. This helps preserve freshness, keeping each brownie rich, fudgy, and irresistibly delicious.
Original cookies: All full-sized cookies are individually packaged.
Frosted cookies: In order to protect their designs, frosted cookies are individually wrapped.
How long do party favor cookies stay fresh?
All of our birthday cookies and celebratory party favors have a shelf life of 12 days. However, we recommend eating them as soon as they arrive for the best possible taste.
If you’d like to save your brownies and cookies for later, leave them out at room temperature for up to two weeks. You can also freeze them in their original packaging for up to six months. Avoid putting them in the refrigerator, as it can dry them out.
To recreate that fresh, out-of-the-oven taste, warm your cookies in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds or in a 375-degree oven for two minutes. If frozen, warm in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds or in a 375-degree oven for three minutes.
