Best mail order cookies?

Witchy Woman — Sat, 09 Nov 2019 14:15:23 GMT

I want to send cookies to an elderly friend, and would appreciate recommendations for a really good cookie.

I'm not a sweets eater, so have no idea.

I know QVC sells Cheryl's, but if anyone has personal experience with a better brand, I would appreciate it. Mrs. Fields offers a smallish cookie, and I'd like them individually wrapped.

In reading reviews for Cheryl's, many said they arrived broken. That's not good.

Thanks in advance.

I have only ordered Cheryl's Cookies. I love the butter cream frosted holiday cookies. My sister sent a box of mixed cookies from Cheryl's when I was visiting my daughter and her family. I tried one of each of the various types and found that butter cream frosted cookies are my fav. However, I noticed the grandkids (teens) all had different favs and left the butter creams for me. If you can't eat all the cookies in a few days, instructions say to freeze them. I stick them in the freezer and just pull out one or two as I need them.

If your elderly friend is on a special diet (low sugar,low fat,low salt) sometimes food is not a good idea.

I highly recommend Byrd's Famous Cookies here in Savannah, GA.

They ship worldwide and have great reviews.

They also are on FB, TripAdvisor, for more reviews.

ETA: They also sell some great savory treats as well (cheese straws, etc.)

A good point, but she isn't restricted and loved the Sees candy I recently sent.

I have sent Cheryl's gift packs and never had a problem.

We sent Halloween goodies and watched it being opened ... nothing broken. There were cookies and iced pretzels in the order.

I use "Groupon" because they seem to always have a half-priced Cheryl's deal! It is a great value.

How nice you are sending her some sweets!

How is your sweet Kingston doing? I love his face!

It's a long story, but this woman is one in a million.

She and I have exchanged letters since I was 19! I'm now 69 and she is 97!

We used to exchange gifts, but she is now in assisted living and I send things she can share with guests and friends.

@Witchy Woman

What a beautiful friendship!

And this is very thoughtful of you to send her something she can share!

I will bet that makes her feel like the "Belle of the Ball!"

Kingston is great, thank you for asking!

We finally got his rabies shot in him, LOL! It took us over a week though!

Hope you had a great birthday on Halloween!

@Witchy Woman I would stay with what she liked-the Sees candy.

Carolina Cookies are excellent and they have a large variety of flavors and package designs. Each cookie is individually wrapped inside the box or tin and have always arrived in perfect condition. Love them!!

Another vote for David's Cookies. The Butter Pecan Meltaways are a family favorite.

@Witchy Woman---will you send me SEES candy too--------and if she loved that before--so it again!! I have sent wolfermanns english muffins many times--you can pick and choose what you want to send--everyone LOVES them and its kind of a different .

@Witchy Woman I agree with the others who said if she loves Sees candy, send her that again. I have a friend who mails Sees candy to several people each Christmas. They look forward to it.

I thought about that, but I wanted to send something before Thanksgiving, and the Sees was just sent for Halloween.

Mostly, I was thinking of something she could share with her family, friends and maybe even the medical staff.

I didn't want to repeat myself so soon
