Gift Basket Black and White Cookies Gourmet 1.5 LB Holiday Gift For Men Women Tin Individually Wrapped | New York Style | Large Fresh Soft Bakery Chocolate | Birthday Sympathy Get Well

Even though my order didn't arrive in time for my eclipse party today, they DID arrive and they are wonderful. In the end, it's a good thing UPS didn't bring them earlier - now I don't have to share! Definitely recommend these yummy cookies.

I ordered these black/white cookies because I wanted to taste these B/W cookies for myself before ordering these for my clients. I am SO glad I did because these are the WORSE B/W cookies I've ever tasted. The presentation in the tin can is great, but the product packed individually package is horrible. The B/W cookies are just very dry and perhaps OLD and sitting on the shelf is the reason behind these awful-tasting cookies.Very disappointed as I was eager to get these cookies. The presentation online pictures and description does NOT compare to the B/W cookies received.

The box is nice and sturdy and worth keeping. The surprise is when you open and see these individually wrapped black and whites . Hmmmm. the flavor is so very good and the cookie is soft and tastes fresh.The white icing is full of vanilla which is so good and the black icing ,Hmmm a wonderful taste of chocolate. Worth the price. Bigger than the usual size.

i read the negative reviews on this cookies before I bought them. Arrived a few days after I ordered them in a beautiful tin and individually wrapped. I was anxious to open one and see if I had wasted my money. I picked one from the bottom of the tin and cut open the wrap. The first bite…scrumptious, light, moist cake with perfect icing. The first one didn’t last long so I had to test another. Same results! Delicious. I was prepared to give them away if they were stale or hard but not! These are keepers!

Absolutely disgusting, tasted like gasoline and chemicals, threw it in the garbage.

There are three flaws in this product and a bad policy that prevent me from giving a positive review. You can decide if these issues are meaningful to you or not.First, I object to misleading advertising. These cookies are represented in the photos as being "approximately 3 1/4" in diameter. My childhood bakery in NY sold black and white cookies in the 4.5-5" size range, so that's what I was used to. Advertising these as large was a bit of a stretch, but they looked so small when I opened up the tin that I broke out my ruler. I measured all 10 cookies and not one of them exceeded 3" in any direction. It's a small difference from 3 to 3.25, but I would expect them to average 3.25" based on the description. They could legitimately be advertised as approximately 3" as a maximum. Overstating the size by even this small amount did nothing but create an expectation the product couldn't meet.Second, and more important, I opened one cookie and found it dry and bordering on stale. Doesn't matter what size they are if they aren't fresh and tasty. Maybe if I heated the cookie a bit to freshen it up or dunked it in cocoa, it might have been okay. Since it seemed a bit old, I looked for any date on the package. The date was eight months in the future. I don't know how long these were already sitting in the Amazon warehouse, but with another eight months to ship after they are already seeming a bit stale, I would not count on receiving a bakery-fresh premium product.Third, based more on the taste and texture of the cookies than their mis-represented size, the value isn't there. If this was a great cookie that brought back memories of my childhood neighborhood bakery, I would be okay with paying the premium price on occasion to order a batch. They just don't stand up. Based on the size and quantity, if these were really good, I might value the item at about half of the $30 we paid for it. Being slightly stale, I might not be unhappy at $10.On the positive side, the packaging and presentation is excellent. If it were a gift that's all about appearance, this would be a winner. Since I didn't buy these cookies to look at them, that's just not enough. The frosting is reminiscent of the cookies I used to buy. The vanilla side is a little harder coating than the chocolate, just like those fresh bakery cookies always were. It's just the dry cake/cookie that falls short. They could be slightly overbaked or stale, or the dough was a little low in fat content - whatever the reason the cookie needs some moisture to make it more edible.This brings me to the policy issue. I have received an expensive package of dry cookies that are almost edible and marginally misrepresented in size. The policy on this item allows for no returns, so it appears I've thrown my money away with no recourse. I hate to write a negative review about a small business product in an economy where we all need to give each other a hand, but I see no alternative.

Definitely buying again!

fresh and yummy. the cookies taiste great and are packaged for a gift
