She's making an effort to get something truly high quality and perhaps something you wouldn't splurge on yourself (a bakery cookie? I can make those at home!).


I don't disagree with you. I was responding to 20:14's question on how to exchange a recipe for a cookie you didn't make.


OP, I was just going to include the directions to the bakery. Ha.

Hey OP. I hate to bake so I'll also be purchasing cookies rather than making them.

Put a sticker on the baggie that says "Lovingly made by Giant/Safeway/Whole Foods Bakery because I am too damn busy to make 3 dozen cookies...Merry Christmas."

I need 3 dozen cookies for a holiday cookie exchange this weekend. I'm not baking this year and clearly want something more impressive than grocery store pick-ups. Recommendations?
