HOW LONG WILL THE COOKIES STAY FRESH?

HOW SHOULD I STORE MY COOKIES?

The Cookie Spot cookies enjoy being kept at room temperature. Try to avoid excessive heat and make sure to hide them from hungry children and partners to ensure they last as long as possible.

WILL MY COOKIES LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE IMAGES ONLINE?

The Cookie Spot takes great care to ensure your cookies look and taste great. We are a handmade product and sometimes you may see a slight variation in each cookie. We hand colour, so each batch may vary slightly and each marbled cookie may look slightly different.

 

If your cookies are damaged or you believe there are any quality issues at all, please contact us immediately.

CAN YOU CREATE CUSTOM COLOURS?

Yes. We are more than happy to colour match as per your request to ensure your design is actually as you envisioned. Please be aware there may be an extra small charge for this service.

DO THE COOKIES CONTAIN NUTS?

Our cookies may contain traces of NUTS and PEANUTS.

CAN YOU CATER FOR VEGANS OR GLUTEN FREE DIETS?

Not just yet - but we are working on it. Stay tuned...

THE ICING IN MY DIY KITS LOOKS LIKE IT HAS SEPARATED. IS THIS NORMAL?

This is completely normal. Gently kneed the icing in the bag for around two minutes or until it comes together.

WHAT IS THE CANCELLATION POLICY?

HOW ARE THE COOKIES SENT TO ME?

We put our heart and soul into preparing our cookies for you, so we take the utmost care to ensure they arrive to you in the condition they leave our kitchen.

We have some pretty tough cookies. They like to travel and don’t mind a little heat. However, if you live in a hot and sweaty state, or are experiencing severe weather, it would be advisable for someone to be home to receive the delivery.

 

We use solid packing materials, as well as bubble wrap and padded boxing. Of course, due to the nature of our business, minor movement is inevitable. If you believe your order has arrived in less than satisfactory condition, please contact us immediately, providing photos of the delivered goods so that we can follow up your query and achieve an acceptable solution with our delivery partners.

Postage rates are as advertised - please check individual items for more details.
