Our Gourmet Cookies

Our goal is for each cookie to satisfy any epicurean critic. Therefore, our cookies are handcrafted from ingredients you can pronounce, and presented in elegant yet cost-effective packages. Large volume discounts or custom designing are available on some varieties.

Our cookies use only unsalted butter, pure vanilla, fresh eggs, and flour you can trust. We use no products that are processed with trans fats, including our high quality chocolates. We like to think if a cookie is artful enough to please both eye and palette from cookie to cookie, box to box, it doesn’t have to be super-sized. From storage to packaging, we exercise much care, and we bake to order to ensure your selections arrive and stay fresh. Please contact us should you need information regarding the ingredients used in any of our products—we will be happy to provide you with the information you need. Most cookie varieties sold 1 dozen to the box. The exception is Like No Other Sugar Cookie sold 24 (2 dozen) to the box.

The Sweet Specialist would like to take this opportunity to give credit, and thanks, to King Arthur Flour as a major source author for this website. It is their book, The Cookie Companion, which serves as the inspiration behind my specialty shortbreads, has spurred my pursuit of culinary history, and is the indispensable reference book in our shop.
