ABOUT COOKIES BY KAT
Q: What makes Cookies by Kat special?
A: Each cookie is created and handcrafted by me, Kat! My mission is to push the boundaries of what a cookie is and can be by coming up with cookie flavours that are unique and out-of-this-world yummy. I make every batch of cookie with love and care with the hope that for every single person who takes a bite out of one of my cookies it's like getting a nice big hug from me (or a high five if you're not a hugger!).
Q: How long do my Cookies By Kat stay fresh?
A: Our 5oz stuffed cookies will keep at room temperature for up to a week (if you can keep them around for that long!). Otherwise, I recommend popping them in the freezer where they can stay for up to 3 months. When you're ready to have one, simply take it out of the freezer to thaw for ~1 hour. OR if they're cut in quarters, they do make a delicious frozen treat! Because of the size of my stuffed cookies, I do not find they microwave well from frozen.
ORDERING
Q: What happens once I complete my order?
A: After you complete your order, you will receive an automated confirmation email. Once your order is ready for pickup, you will receive a second automated email with pickup instructions. At this time, all orders are to be ready on between Thursday evening to Sunday, with an order deadline on of Thursday at 9am.
Q: Do you offer discounts for bulk orders?
A: Yes! Bulk discounts in fact are automatically applied on 10 or more cookies per type (stuffed or traditional). The more cookies you order, the greater the savings!
Q: I have a special event coming up (birthday/wedding/anniversary). How do I make sure my cookies are ready for pickup at a specific time and date?
A: If you are hoping to have cookies ready for a specific date for an event, you can contact me directly through the 'contact us' page and I will try my best to accommodate your request!
Q: I have special dietary restrictions (gluten free/ vegan/ dairy free). Can you accommodate my dietary needs?
A: Short answer is... Sometimes! I'm constantly working on Vegan and Gluten-Free cookies, and I will throw them into my line-up now and then depending on how much I can hold in stock and what I have. All vegan cookies will be labelled with a (V), and all gluten-free cookies will be labeled with a (GF). Please be advised that I do operate in a kitchen containing wheat, dairy, and nuts.
