FAQ

About Our Cookies

How long do the cookies stay fresh?

Our soft-baked cookies taste best on the day they arrive, ideally within 12 hours.

Tip: a few minutes in the oven brings back the crisp edges and gooey centre.

  • Fridge: up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat at 150°C for 3–5 minutes.
  • Freezer: up to 2 weeks. Reheat from frozen at 150°C for 5–7 minutes.
  • Sablé/Crunchy cookies: best within 1 month. Keep them unopened or in an airtight container, somewhere cool and dry.

Are the cookies halal?

We don't have official halal certification. However:

  • All our ingredients are meat-free.
  • We don't use gelatin.
  • None of our cookies contain alcohol, except the Candy Cane sablé, which uses rose extract [confirm whether it's alcohol-based].
  • Most of our ingredients come from halal-certified suppliers.

If you have specific dietary needs, message us before ordering and we'll help you choose.

Are the cookies vegetarian?

Yes for lacto-ovo vegetarians. There's no meat or gelatin in our cookies, but they do contain eggs and dairy, so they aren't vegan or suitable for egg-free diets.

Do your cookies contain allergens?

Our cookies are made with wheat, eggs, dairy, nuts. All baking happens in the same kitchen, so we can't guarantee any item is free from traces of nuts or other allergens.

I'm sending cookies to several friends. Can you pack them separately?

Happy to help with this, though it is also dependent on the items ordered. Leave a note at checkout, or WhatsApp or email us with how you'd like the cookies split, and we can work something out. To keep delivery costs down and everything well protected, we'll still send them in one larger carrier.

How far in advance should I order?

We bake fresh for every order, so please order at least 1 days ahead, although we have same day delivery available too. For festive seasons and large or corporate orders, we recommend 1 week's notice minimally.

What if my delivery fails, for example because of a wrong address or no one being home?

Please double-check the address and the recipient's phone number before checking out.

  • Our courier waits up to 15 minutes at the address.
  • If neither the recipient nor the sender can be reached, the courier has to move on to other deliveries.
  • We'll try to re-deliver the same day if the schedule allows. A re-delivery fee applies.
  • If we don't hear from you by the end of the delivery day, the order will be cancelled without a refund.
Something is missing or damaged in my order. What should I do?

We're sorry. Please contact us within 48 hours of receiving your order and include:

  • Missing items: your order number and a photo of the whole order as it arrived.
  • Damaged items: a photo of each damaged item. We can only compensate for items shown in the photos.

Once we've confirmed the issue, we'll refund you. Anything reported after 48 hours is handled case by case as goodwill.

Can I change my order?

Yes, if you tell us at least 3 working days before your delivery or collection date. If the change makes your order total lower, the 3.8% payment gateway fee on the difference can't be refunded.

Can I cancel my order?

Yes, if you tell us at least 3 working days before your delivery or collection date. You'll get a full refund minus the 3.8% payment gateway fee, which we can't recover.
