Sweet Andy's Cookies Review AND Giveaway!!

Do you know anyone that doesn’t like cookies? I don’t! If you think about it, cookies are the perfect treat no matter the time of day or year. I hate to admit this but we have cookies available in our home 24 hours a day, 365 days out of the year. Don’t judge, my husband has an extreme sweet tooth and my daughter and I have a sweets tendency (does that sound PC?).

I remember being in high school and my best friend coming over for a sleepover. It was December, the holidays were quickly approaching, and her parents came to the door with this beautiful red tin in hand and presented it to my mom. Inside the tin was a variety of individually packaged cookies! At the time, I was thinking COOKIES!!! YES!! However, later I was thinking, what a unique gift. That moment has stuck with me throughout the years and I have often sent cookies as a gift. Each time I would send such a gift I found myself scouring the internet for different cookie companies to choose from because the last company I used simply didn’t amaze me….that is no longer a concern thanks to Sweet Andy’s Cookies!

Sweet Andy’s Cookies is based in Long Island, New York and started when Andy, a member of the financial services field, found himself without a job in 2009. While Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to make ends meet they did their best to support their five children. Luckily, they had friends that helped them through the tough times. Andy wanted to find a way to thank these amazing people that helped his family so he sat down…for many weeks…and created the PERFECT chocolate chip cookie recipe. Andy and Lissa began giving their friends their “THANK YOU” cookie platters and people were shocked…they were delicious! One friend owned a deli shop and asked Andy to make some cookies to sell in his shop, the cookies sold out and Andy was asked to make more… that is how Sweet Andy’s Cookies began!

 

 

I received a variety of Sweet Andy’s Cookies for review. The cookies arrived in a box marked “The Thank You Cookie”, which makes it perfect for gift giving, and inside was six packages of cookies. These packages could easily be gifted separately or as one large gift. The flavors that I received were Sugar Cookie, Peanut Butter Chip, Triple Chip, Chocolate, Oatmeal Raisin, and Chocolate Chip. My top three picks were the Sugar Cookie, Peanut Butter Chip, and Triple Chip…my family concurred. We had a cookie party of sorts and sat down with a tall glass of milk and taste tested each flavor. First, I must note that these cookies are HUGE! I was able to share ONE cookie with my husband and we are both content. Sweet Andy’s bakes each order fresh, easy to tell based on the taste, and the cookies have a shelf life of two weeks. The cookies were fresh and soft which is my favorite. They made me think of the fresh out of the oven cookies my mom and grandma made for me as a kid. If you find that there are too many cookies to consume in two weeks, which I did, you are able to freeze them for a sweet treat later! Hello, that is AWESOME!

Sweet Andy’s Cookies can be picked up in their store in Long Island, if you are local, or you are able to order online and have them delivered anywhere you choose. Andy’s has a number of variety pack options but the six package variety box that I received sells for $35.95 and that is the one that I recommend. The types of cookies available are listed on Sweet Andy’s Cookies website and you can pick the flavors that will be included in your package!

 
Sweet Andy’s Cookies can also be found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Cookie in hand...cheers!
