THIS IS HOW IT WILL WORK THIS YEAR:🌲 It is a first come first serve event! You are welcome to form a line but I will not start early! Please be respectful of the process & know I really strive to be fair. Sorry I WILL NOT take orders or set cookies back for anyone. Just ask my siblings No EXCEPTIONS will be made!
🎅 Please bring your own container such as a Tupperware or Rubbermaid container (with lid) to place cookies in. The larger the better I cringe seeing my cookies smashed:) A flat box or tray will do but you will want to transfer them to an airtight container to keep them fresh. No refrigeration required! I will have backup box flats just in case you come empty handed. My general rule of thumb is if you won’t be consuming these in 3 days (I admit I error on the safe side on this) or want them for a family gathering taking place later they should go in the freezer in an air tight container. These cookies are very freezer friendly. They will taste just as great!
❄️ The cookies to pick from will be in large bakery boxes spread out on tables so you will walk around and select which designs and the quantity you would like. No minimum or maximum limits!
🎁 When your finished go to the check out table and let me know the total quantity taken. I have always run on the honor system and I really don't want to have to change that so PLEASE respect my hard work and time with giving your totals. After you make final payment you will be on your way. I will accept cash and checks payable to KATIE ELBERT. We can also do VENMO. Price is $36 a dozen/$3 a cookie
⛄️ Set those Alarms! I know not everyone can sneak away at this time. I also have some Out of Town cookie lovers. ❤️ If the date/time doesn't work send your co-workers, husbands, neighbors, etc to grab some for you. Tip: They can easily be bribed with cookies 😉
🎄I will be set up TILL the posted end time or SOLD OUT whichever happens first. I do anticipate (and pray) being sold out so when this happens I will communicate this on my FB page as soon as I can to save you a trip when there are no cookies left.
My cookies and the process aren't for everyone and that’s okay I invite you to find another baker or make them on your own. I welcome your business next time for your cookie needs. I do know my worth when analyzing the time it takes to buy supplies, stir up dough, bake, whip up frosting, stir up various colors, decorate, dry, decorate next layer, dry, pack away, unpack, box up, transport, etc.
This is what works best for me and allows for a better family balance which is my TOP priority. My own belief is if cookie baking causes me to neglect creating my own memories and traditions then it’s not worth it. This process I have learned creates efficiency which in turn means more cookies out my door & in your hands. I do my best & bake as many as I can but in the end someone will be empty handed.
Looking forward to seeing you and thank you all for being patient and understanding!
