I tend to be a social butterfly. I get invited to a ton of events, anything from house parties, cocktail parties, dinners, and showers. I like to be a good guest and bring something to every event that I go to. Generally I bring a bottle of wine, but in some cases I’ll bring a dessert. So since I was going to a cocktail party it was requested we do not bring alcohol of any sort. Not a problem, I just jumped online and started browsing Davidscookies.com. I felt that bring just a tin of cookies was a little plain for this event so I was looking for something a little fancier. I came across their cookies cakes. There was a nice selection of Deep Dish Cookie pies ranging in flavor from Chocolate Chip (a delicious cookie with huge chunks of chocolate topped with mini Hershey’s kisses and chocolate ganache) to Smores (marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate syrup tops this masterpiece) to Reese’s Peanut Butter (real Reese’s peanut butter cups, Reese’s chips and chocolate syrup are the stars of this deep dish cookie) to Brownie (a deep dish brownie topped with mini vanilla and chocolate Hershey’s kisses and drizzeled with rich chocolate ganache). There was a little something to please everyone. I made the decision to but all four flavors because I wanted to make sure there was something to accommodate everyone. Okay, honestly, because I wanted to try them all, but either way that is exactly what I did. The night of the party I brought my dessert and the host added all four cakes to the dessert table. Now there was a ton of desserts but none the caliber of mine. Pastries, truffles, cakes, and unique candies flooded the table, but my deep dish cookie pies stood out from them all. Decadent thick cookies topped with a variety of different sensuous morsels of deliciousness made each one hard to resist. By the end of the night all four cakes were history and everyone was hooked. I informed them of where I purchased these sweet treats and have a feeling David’s Cookies got a lot of orders the next couple days.
Not everyone likes cake. I mean I don’t know what is wrong with them and why they don’t, but either way, they don’t. So when birthdays come along it creates a problem because it isn’t so easy to just send someone a cake if they don’t like it. Well don’t worry, David’s Cookies has the answer. Cookie cakes! A giant cookie decorated with sweet frosting that reads Happy Birthday. This alternative is a great way to surprise someone. The 12″ chocolate chip cookie cake is the perfect tasty treat. The message is written in colored frosting with multi colored confetti sprinkles to make a party on the cookie!
David’s doesn’t stop at Happy Birthday though. They have other great options to bring a little light into someone’s day. They offer a variety of message cookies for different holidays but also have cookies for different occasions. They have a Congratulations cookies, Thank You cookie, and Get Well cookie. Each of these great cookies cakes gets the message across in a caring and appreciative way, but also with a little pizzazz. They aren’t as messy as cakes and they are capable of expressing your thoughts unlike small cookies. By far the most convenient and fun way to show someone you care for at anytime.
Okay, so maybe this is all a little too much information, but I’m an obsessive compulsive chocolate fiend. I will do anything for chocolate. If you could wear chocolate, I would! That is how serious it is. So after being introduced to David’s Cookies and their fabulous cheesecake I became a regular buyer. Then they added Triple Chocolate Cheesecake to the list and I might have died and gone to heaven at that moment. Luckily, I didn’t and I was fortunate enough to be able to indulge in this superb dessert treat. Melted milk chocolate on top of a creamy chocolate cheesecake center over a layer of Devil’s food cake makes this cheesecake truly the most craved dessert in my house.
Sometimes I get a bit ahead of myself and like to take on many different “projects” at once. So of course, with my busy as a bee mentality I decided to not only throw a banquet dinner for the towns athletic teams, but I also found it a good idea to take on the task of hosting a bake sale that same weekend. Keep in mind this is on top of my regular schedule, which consists of a day job, a night job, school, and coaching a basketball team. So I guess you can say I was a bit overwhelmed. With the days winding down till the weekend. I was beginning to feel the pressure. I needed some dessert and some “baked goods” for both of the events. Then it hit me, I don’t have time to make all of these, why not order them? Then I realized David’s Cookies is always my answer. I ordered 6 strawberry cheesecakes. I had never had the cheesecakes from David’s at this point in time, but I had faith in them. When they arrived I put them in the fridge. The next day was the sports dinner so I brought four with me and when dessert came around I had them set out. I was a little worried at first, but nobody seemed to have any problems finished them. All of it was gone and I got so many compliments. I won’t lie. I told them I made it so I could take the credit for the amazing cheesecakes. However, when I was asked for the recipe by one of the parents I had to admit it was from David’s. So with one event down and one to go the pressure was lifted. Only would the cheesecakes be as big of a success this time around since they had to be paid for? So at the bake sale cookies and cup cakes where flying, the cheesecake not so much, I think it was partially because its much easier to eat a cupcake on the go rather than a piece of cheesecake. Finally one woman bought a slice and after her raving review a few more pieces started to go. Eventually everyone kept talking about how great the cheesecake was. So I bought a slice myself. Each slice is packed with loads of creamy filling, graham cracker crust and sweet strawberries I couldn’t believe how good it was. Before I knew it the one pie was gone and a woman offered to pay $75 dollars for the whole cheesecake. Needless to say I let her, and I think David’s probably got a couple orders off that weekend excursion of mine.
Maybe eight or nine months ago I had gone through a really bad break up. I know I know shocking, who would break up with me? Anyway I was crying all the time, didn’t want to leave the house, never wanted to eat, always wanted to eat, I was just an emotional roller coaster. For about three weeks all I wanted was sweets. Cake, cookies, chocolate, you name it I was craving it. I was online one night because I had a hard time falling asleep when I decided to order some cookies from David’s Cookies. I started to look at the rest of their products and realized they had cheesecakes. Then fate took over. My eye spotted a precious little caramel chocolate pecan cheesecake and I knew we were meant to be. I quickly ordered it and received it two days later. I opened that cheesecake and went to work. The 10″ cheesecake with clumps of chewy pecans drenched in a coating of caramel on top of a creamy cheesecake was amazing. This mix of cream cheese, nuts and caramel is a true taste excursion. I ate the whole thing in one day. Now I don’t recommend that normally, but in the condition that I was in I had no other choice. Regardless, every bite was one bite closer to healing my heart. In the next three weeks I ordered four of those cheesecakes. It was the only thing that would keep me happy. Eventually my best friend refused to let me sulk anymore and forced me to get over the break up, but I do still order that cheesecake about once every six weeks just because I can not get enough of it!
Cheesecake is probably the most sinful of the seven deadly sins. I know that they say lust, gluttony, greed, pride, wrath, sloth, and envy are the seven deadly sins, but I know that somewhere along the line they must of taken cheesecake out and added one of the others because cheesecake is just plain sinful. One of the most joyous and fantastic days I will ever remember is the day I ordered cheesecake from David’s Cookies. I know what you are thinking, David’s COOKIES, but you are wrong. They are more than just cookies. They are tarts, brownies, cookie cakes, layer cakes, crumb cakes, scones, and best of all CHEESECAKES!!! Oh the insanity of how amazing they are. Seriously though, they are by far the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had. The New York style is to die for and then each individual flavor (they come in strawberry, marble chocolate, triple chocolate, and chocolate caramel pecan) is done perfectly, never overly rich or overwhelming flavor drowning out the cheesecake. There is nothing worse in my book then a cheesecake that is so rich and overdone with toppings and flavor that you can’t even enjoy it. That will never be the problem with David’s cheesecakes. They are the epitome of perfection. I recommend you try them all.
An obsessive-compulsive peanut butter eater by nature I always genuinely enjoy a good peanut butter cookie. The first time I had a David’s Peanut Butter Cookie I passed out and was sent to the hospital. You might think I’m joking, but oh I’m not! I had the flu for the last week and my body was just extremely weak. I hadn’t been eating much and was just stuck in bed most of the day. People kept bringing me food in hopes that I would eat, but I was just so tired and felt so lousy that I couldn’t really bring my self to have a taste for anything let alone eat. So my best friend came over after work and brought with her a tin of David’s Peanut Butter Cookies, because obviously she knows my addiction to peanut butter. So for some reason my feeble body couldn’t resist at least a bite of cookie. She had placed them on my kitchen counter so I got up from my living room couch and moped over to the counter, opened the tin and grabbed a beautiful cookies. I took a bite of the savory cookie with all of its Reese’s Peanut Butter glory and felt overcame with joy. Either that or I became light headed. So I headed back to the couch my cookie in hand and before I made it there I apparently passed out. I woke up later in the hospital. They say I passed out from dehydration; I have a feeling I passed out from how incredible that first bite of cookie was. Needless to say when I started feeling better the only thing on my mind was some David’s Peanut Butter Cookies with Reese’s Chips.
I have a thing for chocolate and nuts, together preferably but alone is fine too. Generally I tend to go for things like chocolate covered nuts or candies with the two, but something that I absolutely cannot get enough of are David’s Cookies in the Macadamia Chocolate Chunk and the Pecan Chocolate Chunk.The perfect amount of rich chocolate with the tender nuts is absolutely addictive. I have a really close friend who has the same passion for chocolate and nuts and she swore she found the best cookies ever combining the two. I knew she didn’t because David’s is by far the best, but I let her think she had. So she comes over one night to study for our real estate exam and I have a plate of David’s cookies in both flavors. After she had two she looked at me with a kind of funny face. I asked what the problem was and she said, “These cookies are out of this world! I didn’t know you baked.” I laughed and said, neither did I! She was so confused. When I explained that I got both cookies from David’s Cookies she freaked. She couldn’t believe that these home made tasting cookies were really from a company. After we went through almost an entire tin of cookies we stopped. Now the two of us send each other a tin of these amazing cookies every month without fail. I send her Pecan and Chocolate Chunk and she sends me Macadamia and Chocolate Chunk, then naturally we sway a couple.
Some things are just meant to go together. Peanut butter and jelly, ham and cheese, french fries and Frosties (umm maybe that is up for debate) but regardless another match is orange and cranberry. So when I was at an early morning get together to discuss vacation plans with some of my long time friends and I saw the shiny red David’s Cookies tin, naturally I got very excited. For some reason I anticipated a tin full of chocolate chunk, but when I was greeted by the beautiful scent of orange and cranberry as I approached the display my heart skipped a beat. I have a passion for these sweet and tart cookies. They are hearty and chewy and so full of the perfect mix of flavors that I took a little plate with two cookies and I then pulled a really classy move. I took two more and slipped them in my purse. I know! Stop judging me because if you had these amazing cookies you would throw away your pride for them too. They are beyond delicious and well worth being looked at as the “broad who steals free cookies”. So as I sat through the entire debate about where we should go this year all I could think about were the two cookies I had in my bag. I looked at the platter and noticed there were no more cookies. So I sat patiently until I could no longer take it. I excused myself and went to the bathroom so that I could sneak a couple bites of my cookies. As I entered the bathroom to my surprise I ran into my friend Liz who just excused herself a couple minutes before and would you know, she was doing the same thing! She too had snuck a couple extra cookies and could no longer wait to eat them. We laughed at ourselves and ate our cookies making sure to leave no evidence behind and went back to our friends. So what these cookies may cause you to lose your morals briefly? Something tells me you won’t mind too much while you’re eating them!
I love the fall! It’s by far the best season. The smell of the fresh brisk air, cute sweaters, pumpkin picking, the beauty of the leaves changing colors, all around fall is just a beautiful time of the year. Every fall without fail I start to get a craving for warm chocolate chunk cookies and milk. Ever since I was in elementary school, chocolate chunk cookies and milk were my survival food. Every Friday in the months of October and November my mom would bake me cookies. Well as I got older the baking stopped, the cravings however, didn’t. Now for someone who isn’t so handy in the kitchen I had to find alternative ways to fix my cravings. A couple years ago I went on a cookie hunt. I tried cookies from various different stores and companies. After trying David’s Chocolate Chunk cookies, it was history for the other brands. I still remember my first bite of a David’s cookie. I was 19 and just got the tin in the mail. I decided to briefly warm the cookies before eating them. That first gooey delicious bite of joy was all I needed. Their cookies were so good in every sense of the word. There are plenty of chocolate chunks among the large cookies and when warmed and enjoyed with milk it brings me back to my childhood. With out a doubt every time fall rolls around I purchase a 2 lb tin of David’s chocolate chunk cookies to satisfy my needs.
