PRODUCT INFORMATION

How does this whole process work?

Mamalou Bakeshop is a single owner operated business. What that means is that everything is done by me, Lauren. It's a small batch bakery, which means that we don't bake cookies that people aren't intending to eat. I mean, I eat cookies all the time and could probably eat an inventory if I kept one, but that's besides the point. What I mean to say, is that I don't like to waste anything. I don't want to bake cookies before I know who is going to get them. If you are that someone, awesome. If you want your loved one to be that super lucky someone, that's cool too. You place an order. The next morning I wake up and bake, package, and ship said order. A few days later that order arrives directly on the recipient's doorstep and the cookie indulgence party begins. I do it this way for a lot of reasons including my love for baking and the cozy, loving feeling a homemade cookie makes in every person's belly, my passion for proving that a business can be environmentally sustainable, ethically driven and create high quality products and experiences.

How long will the cookies last?

All Mamalou Bakeshop Cookies are baked fresh without any added preservatives. They will be fresh upon arrival. If you haven't eaten all of your cookies within 3 days of receiving them (which, in our experience rarely happens) we suggest you freeze them to enjoy on a later date. Frozen cookies can be thawed at room temperate (takes about an hour), in the fridge (overnight), in the toaster oven (300 F for about 5 minutes), on or in the microwave (at 30 second intervals). 

Are Mamalou Bakeshop Cookies individually wrapped?

Yes! Our cookies are wrapped and heat sealed in packaging made from a plant based material.

DELIVERY

When will the cookies arrive?

 

We ship cookies on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesday (and very rarely Thursdays) to make sure that they arrive super duper fresh and delicious. No one wants cookies that have been sitting in a mailing warehouse. So, any cookie orders placed Thursday-Sunday will be baked and shipped the following Monday. If you order on Monday, we (really, just me, Lauren) will bake and ship them on Tuesday and you can expect them on Thursday or Friday.

 

Where do you ship?

We currently ship everywhere within the United States.
