We recommend enjoying our cookies within 5 days of receiving them. If you have any left over (unlikely, but just in case 😊) you can freeze them for up to 3 months. 

Yes, you can and they’ll be good for up to 3 months. For best results, we recommend keeping cookies in their compostable bag and placing them inside a zip lock bag.

To defrost cookies from the freezer, preheat oven to 375 f and place cookies in a warm oven for 6 to 8 minutes. 

For perfectly warm cookies, preheat your oven to 350 f and warm the cookies in a sheet pan for 4 minutes. 

• Each cookie is individually packaged and sealed in our compostable corn-based wrap, placed in our branded, recyclable box, tightly packed with packaging material, and placed in a brown shipping box. These measures are taken to ensure the quality and freshness of our product during transit

All cookies are approx. 2.8 to 3 oz or 80 to 85 gr before baking – They are roughly around 4in wide after baking.
