Gourmet cookies can say “congratulations” on the good days or “I’m here for you” on the bad days. [read more…]

Description

Whether your loved one is off to college, joining the military, or traveling, saying goodbye is bitter-sweet. You’re happy that they’re pursuing their dreams, but let’s face it, you miss them. And, though they may or may not admit it, we have a pretty good hunch that they miss you, too.

Chocolate Shipped Cookies is here to help you send love and encouragement with the goodness of fresh baked cookies.

We make it easy with our online cookie delivery. Build your own selection of mouthwatering cookies, from classic glazed sugar to milk chocolate to snickerdoodle and more. A cookie gift package or custom cookie delivery is just the thing to remind your loved one that you’re rooting for them from the home front.

Why Cookies?

Why send your loved one cookies instead of…say…liver pâté? Well, that one’s a little obvious, but let’s talk about exactly why cookies make the ultimate food gift.

Familiarity. When you’re feeling homesick in an unknown place, comfort comes in the soothing familiarity of what you know. And what’s more familiar than cookies? Whether they came out of your mom’s oven or your grandma’s cookie jar or showed up at school parties or dances, most of us have been well-acquainted throughout our lives with the goodness of cookies.

They’re nostalgic. Beyond just being familiar, cookies are packed with sentimentality. We can take a bite of our grandma’s oatmeal raisin cookie and feel like we’re sitting at her feet listening to her tell us stories about the good old days. The taste, smell, and texture wrapped up in a cookie can take you back to sweet and simple times.

Grab-and-go convenience. Brownies are gooey and sticky, cake is crumbly, ice cream is melty. But cookies! You can scoop them up with your five fingers and go.

Why Cookie Care Packages?

We’ve established why cookies delight us, but what’s so special about the custom of care packages?

Turns your love into action. You can say you love someone all you want, but actions speak louder than words. Care packages are a nod to the effort needed to maintain a relationship. We don’t have to tell you that relationships don’t just happen. They’re like a garden. If you don’t water them regularly, you can’t expect either beautiful blooms or flavorful fruits and veggies. When you go to the trouble to send a care package, you’re putting your love in action, and that helps keep a relationship flourishing.

Reaffirms your devotion. Most of us have fears, and one of the strongest fears is that people won’t love us. It’s not uncommon to feel a little forgotten when you’re far from home, but a care package reminds your loved one all over again that you’re still behind them 100%.

Helps them through the hard stuff. If you bomb a test or fumble your way through a presentation or get yelled at by a drill sergeant while in military training, you probably just want to go home to soak in some unconditional love and encouragement. But when you’re away from home, that’s not possible. Your loved one is likely going to have some crummy days or weeks, and you can lighten that load with a care package. Think of it as an edible hug.

Adds a spark of spontaneity. Living with a bunch of loved ones brings spontaneity. When you’re away from home, it may just be you and the ol’ routine. Can you say monotonous? An unannounced care package can bring the magic of a good surprise to your loved one’s life. There’s a big difference between getting that Amazon package that you were expecting between 5 and 10 pm today and getting something completely out of the blue. The surprise of a cookie care package carries a special thrill.

Boosts mental health. A Boston University research team surveyed 33,000 students at U.S. colleges and universities in 2020 and found that half of these students screened positive for depression and anxiety. Whether your loved one is away from home for college or something else, the struggle of loneliness and high expectations (whether imposed by self or others) is real. Give your loved one a mental boost with lovin’ from the oven.

And may we recommend chocolate chip cookie gifts for a mood lift? Eating chocolate triggers the happy chemicals like endorphins. If you want to get scientific, chocolate can even interact with various neurotransmitters (like serotonin and dopamine) in ways that uplift and regulate your mood. We call it chocolate therapy.

Why Chocolate Shipped Cookies?

Chocolate Shipped Cookies used to be a strictly brick-and-mortar retail spot—no mail order options. Then, we started to see some needs out there in cookie-land. What if you could buy (or bake) the cookies, but you couldn’t get them to your loved one half the country away in a reasonable amount of time? That led us to consider the mail order model. While we knew there were other competitors, word on the street was that their cookies arrived tasting old and stale.

Thus began our epic quest to figure out how to send cookies far away while ensuring that they arrived tasting like they just came out of the oven. It required a lot of recipe tweaking, creative packaging and delivery options, and an incredible, state-of-the-art oven, but we cracked the code. Our payoff is the repeated rave reviews from customers who tell us that biting into one of our mail order cookies is like tasting one of Mom’s fresh baked cookies.

How Do I Order?

We make it very easy online. Simply visit this page and choose how many dozen you’d like. Indicate whether you want single flavor, assorted (we’ll surprise you), or build-your-own assortment, where you can choose between all of our different cookie types.

What About Special Occasions?

There’s just something about being home for the holidays. It’s why Bing Crosby’s wistful “I’ll be Home for Christmas” is such an enduring hit. Composed in the middle of WWII, you can bet it resonated with soldiers serving abroad. But it still resonates when all we want is to be near family on those special days, engaging in the old familiar traditions and eating the foods we grew up on.

If your loved one is away for any of the holidays–from Christmas to Hanukkah to the 4th of July to Easter–they’re likely going to struggle a bit. You can “bring them home” figuratively with all of the love that’s packed into a holiday cookie box. They may not be able to unwrap those matching Christmas jammies or dye the Easter eggs or carve the pumpkins, but they can munch on a moist and chewy chocolate chip cookie or frosted sugar cookie and know they’re loved by family back at home.

Miles may separate you from your college student, missionary, military member, or your spouse away on business, but you can close up that distance with a cookie comfort package baked with love by Chocolate Shipped Cookies.

Flavors

Brownie Marshmallow Cookie
If you for some reason don’t like the mint brownie cookie then there’s still hope for you. A chocolate marshmallow milkshake but as a cookie. That’s what you get with this pastry. Start with our amazing brownie dough baked to perfection. Cover that with a layer of marshmallow spread so good it’s bound to make mallow enthusiasts scream in delight. Finish things off with a layer of our rich chocolate buttercream frosting on top of the marshmallow and you’ve got yourself a Marshmallow Brownie Cookie. Just imagine getting a Vex Mythoclast from the Vault of Glass raid final encounter first try and you’ll have a general idea as to the flavor induced emotions this cookie will cause.

Brownie Mint Cookie
Not to brag but we have the best brownie cookie that you will ever have the pleasure of tasting. Now take our brownie dough and form it into the shape of a cookie. Now bake that cookie and frost it with a layer of our special mint infused buttercream frosting and then frost over that with a layer of rich chocolate buttercream. Now if that doesn’t sound good to you then you’re definitely in the wrong place here… or you just don’t like mint chocolate. Either way, you’re totally missing out here because this cookie is next level shiz.

Classic Glazed Sugar Cookie
Sugar cookies are a staple in the cookie arsenal of any bakery. Our take on the sugar cookie spanks all other sugar cookies into next week with its GOAT flavor. Yes, that includes your grandma’s cookies and no, you should not tell her that. This state-of-the-art cookie begins its life as a premium cookie dough made from scratch with our exquisite ingredients. Bake this cookie dough and you’ve got yourself what most people would call a “sugar cookie”. Now here’s where things get interesting. We take this “sugar cookie” and cover it in our signature almond glaze that’s so freaking sweet it makes Betty White seem like a thug. Now cover this glazed masterpiece in an assortment of sprinkles of all shapes, sizes and colors and you’ve got the best sugar cookie known to man or woman, cause #genderequality.

Double Frosted Peanut Butter Cookie
Now if you think our regular peanut butter chip cookie sounds good then this just might make you drool uncontrollably. Kinda gross but it’s ok, we won’t judge. Take our peanut butter chip cookie and add two layers of frosting to the top. What kind of frosting you ask? The first layer is a special house made peanut butter infused buttercream frosting that’s guaranteed to make you addicted. Now top that with our rich chocolate buttercream frosting and you’ve got yourself a one-way ticket to flavor town. This cookie puts all other peanut butter cookies to shame. Known to some as “The Holy Crap Cookie”, it’s so freaking good it should be illegal.

Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie
This would be what most people consider “the classic” if you will. A masterpiece made from scratch with the most premium ingredients. Loaded with so much milk chocolate that you could literally die from overexposure to pure deliciousness. Ok, “die” is a bit of an exaggeration but there’s a whole lot of rich, creamy milk chocolate chips and it’s pretty awesome. Each cookie is finished with a large chocolate kiss placed on top and in the middle because when is more chocolate ever a bad thing.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie
Now we have the distant cousin of the chocolate chip cookies. When we say “distant cousin” we don’t mean it’s weird, hard to stomach and must be avoided at all costs at the family reunion every year. What we’re trying to say is it’s a perfect blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, oats and cookie dough filled with semi-sweet chocolate chips. There’s just a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg but nothing overwhelming. Matt Cutler argues that this is the greatest cookie of all time. Don’t know who that is? Don’t worry about it, just know that this cookie is freaking amazing and Mr. Cutler approved.

Oatmeal Raisin Walnut Cookie
Now fair warning, this cookie contains no chocolate of any kind. Fear not though, for this cookie is still freaking fantastic. A delicious blend of oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, walnuts and raisins mixed together with our secret homemade cookie dough. Hand chopped walnuts and sundried raisins make this cookie both unique and delightful to the senses. A fan favorite among our more aged customers. With age comes wisdom so they say.

Peanut Butter Chip Cookie
Our premium peanut butter chips are what make this cookie really shine. We make a gorgeous cookie dough base from scratch with only the finest ingredients and then fill it with more peanut butter chips than we probably should and voila, a freaking awesome peanut butter chip cookie.

Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chip Cookie
So here we have our brother of the milk chocolate chip cookie. Not quite the same cookie but close enough to be related. Twin kind of vibes here. While the milk chocolate is rich, creamy and almost painfully sweet this fella is on the darker side. This cookie is loaded with semi-sweet chocolate chips which are a little more on the dark chocolate end of the spectrum, tastefully so. Think like the Christian Bale Batman movies, it’s dark but still really good.

Snickerdoodle Cookie
So, imagine the best dang snickerdoodle cookie you’ve ever had the pleasure of gracing your taste buds with. Please understand that this cookie will make whatever you just imagined taste like hot garbage in comparison. Yeah, it’s that good. A decadent cookie dough similar to a sugar cookie baked to perfection and then dipped and covered in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar for that extra little kick. Perfection.

White Chocolate Pecan Cookie
If neither milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate get your engine revving then maybe some of our white chocolate will do the trick. This cookie is very similar to a classic chocolate chip cookie but instead of using regular chocolate we pack this delightful little fella full of rich white chocolate chips and pecans.
