If you do not want to freeze your cookies.  Leave in the box, or transfer to bags/containers when you get home to seal in freshness.

 

Q: I've been to the Cookie Exchange before, why can't I select my own cookie box?
A: Our 2022 Cookie Exchange, like many other things, looks a bit different this year.  We are pre-packaging our cookie boxes to ensure that we only have a certain number of guests inside the store at certain times. 

ALSO- this year, we have offered 3 different SIZE boxes: 8 dozen, 6.5 dozen, and 4 dozen.  This is to accommodate for smaller family gatherings, fewer parties, etc.  

ALSO- this year, we have created boxes with MORE variety!!  

So, while you are unable to fully customize your box during the Cookie Exchange, you will have 3 different size options and more cookie variety!  We feel you will LOVE IT!

 

Q: I would rather customize my box completely, what should I do?
A: If you would like to only order certain numbers of certain cookies, then maybe the Cookie Exchange experience is not for you.  We would invite you to come to the bakery during store hours to customize your own cookie assortment.  Or, you can order online at your own convenience at shop.dorothyannbakery.com to create your own selection.
