sugarI have by far the pickiest boyfriend that anyone could imagine. He is always complaining about how something isn’t right. When we go out to eat it is a complete embarrassment because all he does is criticize everything from the appetizers to the main course to the dessert. I refuse to buy him presents for holidays because I don’t want to get ripped apart because what I bought wasn’t fitting into his standards. However, I think I finally got one up on him. He loves sugar cookies, of course, he usually has something degrading to say about most of them, either too dry, too sweet, not buttery enough. Basically he likes to complain. So I decided I’d be a sweet girlfriend and buy him some cookies just because. I had David’s Sugar Cookies plenty of times and know how perfect they are so I wasn’t too concerned. When they arrived I told him how I bought them for him and he was flattered by the gesture but didn’t look to thrilled because he anticipated SOMETHING being wrong. The only thing wrong was him! He just kept raving about how rich and buttery they were and how they were topped with just the right amount of sugar to make them the hands down perfect sugar cookie. He even talked about how they looked perfect, “they are baked to the perfect golden color,” he  really wouldn’t stop talking about them. Then when the tin was gone, he went through a 2 lb tin in two days, he just wouldn’t stop talking about when we would get more of what he called his “heaven sent cookie”. It’s nice to know David’s can please EVERYONE.



My all time favorite cookie for life is Macadamia White Chocolate. There’s no story behind it. I’m sorry. I just love white chocolate and macadamia nuts. I’m not very picky about this type of cookie. However, when I have a choice it is hand down David’s Cookies. Their Macadamia White Chocolate Chunk are pure ecstasy. Their large rich chunks of white chocolate offset by the crunch of their ripe macadamias resting in the buttery cookie cannot be beat. I dream about these cookies. If I had more to say, I would, but words cannot come close to the brilliance of these cookies. Bottom line: Treat yourself to David’s Cookies Macadamia White Chunk now!



mm cookiesI coach 9 & 10 year old girls basketball for the recreation department in my town and when they asked me to hold a clinic for children ranging in age from 6-12 I said of course, why wouldn’t I? I love kids and basketball. They also mentioned I should probably supply a snack. Well, this gave me a hard time. What was I going to give 20 kids that wasn’t messy and that they would all enjoy? So after wrecking my brain for a couple days I realized I was over analyzing the entire situation. What do kids love most? Candy and cookies! So of course I go to Davdiscookies.com and order a 2 lb tin of their M&M Cookies. The bright colorful candy on top of the cookies would be sure to grab their attention. Not to mention I would definitely get some quiet time while they indulged their little hearts in the yummy cookies topped with sweet hard shelled melt in your mouth chocolate. So the clinic came and when we had our break I pulled out my red tin and when I opened the tin I heard a large roar of “whoa”. They all ran up to me their eyes wide with excitement. I handed out the cookies and got about 3 minutes to myself. They were all so happy and excited about how good these cookies were. I can’t lie, I even snuck one myself, and you know what? They were fantastic! Definitely NOT just for kids.



I’ve worked in the food industries since I was 15 so as you can imagine I’ve seen a lot. My family owned a bakery for the first half of my life so I’m pretty familiar with sweets. I’ve had cookies upon cookies, flavor after flavor, nothing really excites me anymore. Well as I was ordering a 2 lb tin of assorted cookies to congratulate my cousin on graduating high school I had happened to come across the flavor Cherry w/ White Chocolate Chip. Now, though I’ve had many white chocolate cookies and even some cherry cookies, I’ve never had a cookie quite like this so I thought to my self, “self, I should probably break my diet and order a 2 lb tin of these cookies just for me,” and that is exactly what I did. Now when I received these cookies I was a little apprehensive to get my hopes up before trying them but let me tell you, I’ve never been so pleasantly surprised. These fresh baked cookies were so good, the slight tartness of the dried cherries with the melt in your mouth sweetness of the white chocolate were well worth indulging in. I loved them so much I order another tin to bring to work. Naturally at first people were a little disappointed that I didn’t bring a tin of good old-fashioned chocolate chip cookies in. However, within twenty minutes the cookies were gone and people could stop talking about how good they were. I must say from this day on I do have a favorite cookie flavor and brand and that is David’s Cherry w/ White Chips cookies.



butterscotch pecan cookiesThe other night when it was –12 degrees I was walking home from the store because it was too cold for my 1994 Geo Prism to turn on. I had bought ingredients to make some of my favorite Butterscotch Pecan cookies, a recipe handed down from my grandmother. Well, you can imagine how I felt when I got home to find my gas oven was not working. As a working student I don’t have the money to buy a new stove. So that night as I dreamt about the taste of cookies in my mouth I was awoken from a brilliant thought. David’s Cookies! I always buy their amazing brownies and rich cakes online, but never bought cookies because I’ve had my own recipe. Well, I ordered the cookies and when they arrived two days later I almost lost all my senses to how perfect these cookies were. The crunchy pecans in the buttery goodness of the cookies were to die for. They were so good I ate three in one sitting, not an easy job due to the large size of each cookie. Needless to say I’ll never need my recipe again now that I’ve been blessed be the greatness that is David’s Cookies.



Assorted Cookies

Being forgetful is one of my many inconvenient qualities. So naturally when I woke up and realized I had forgot my best friend’s birthday was the next day, I panicked. Then I realized I wasn’t completely out of luck. David’s Cookies, are not only the most amazing bites of heaven for your mouth, they ship fast too. So I went online and ordered the 2lb tin of assorted cookie flavors which include, Butterscotch Pecan, Cherry w/ White Chips, Chocolate Chunk, Coconut Pecan, Double Chocolate Chunk, M&M, Macadamia Chocolate Chunk, Macadamia White Chunk, Oatmeal Raisin, Orange Oatmeal Cranberry, Peanut Butter with Reese’s Chips, Pecan Chocolate Chunk, and Sugar, and my friend received them on his birthday. You can imagine how ecstatic he was when he saw the shiny red tin. It is a cookie lover’s dream, 24 1.5oz cookies that taste homemade with none of the hassle or clean up. Plus the convenience of David’s free and fast shipping is a perfect for procrastinators like me.

Now I’m making David’s 2 lb tin my birthday gift staple. I can’t think of anything better on your birthday then the sweet taste of rich fresh cookies from David’s Cookies. Such a logical gift, I might use them for housewarming parties, office functions, and other celebrations from now on too.
