Cookies Are Everything

So, I accidentally started a cookie company, yes, that’s right, a cookie company! I admit I’m a little surprised, though my son says I’m the only one who is. He says it’s completely in character, and I suppose he might be right. Cookies are a nice combination of baking and art, two things I have a great fondness for.

I started this website 5 years ago as a way to share my love of travel, fashion and fun. These days it’s all cookies all the time, but HilaryStyle has always been about the many things that interest me, which is why  you’ll find hundreds of articles related to travel, fashion and other things I find fun!

The cookies have gained quite a bit of momentum, so I think its time to officially introduce them and answer some of the many questions I’ve been getting.

What do you mean, you accidentally started a cookie company?

I’ve always loved baking, so I made cookies for a friend’s Lunar New Year party and on a whim shared them on my Facebook page. I immediately got a request for two dozen, and I thought sure, why not? Loving this new hobby I brought fancy cookies to my next few events, which led to more orders, which led to more orders, and so on and so on…

What is the cookie company called?

The company is Cookies Are Everything, and they truly are. From cheese boards, to denim jackets and a well loved pair of slip on vans you’ll see there really isn’t anything that can’t be “cookified.”

Do you bake them yourself?

Yes! I bake all the cookies myself from scratch.

Will you share your recipes with me?

Yes, the recipes I use are included if you take a custom cookie class!

Do they taste good?

This might seem like a silly question, but so often beautifully decorated cookies mean mediocre taste. This is not the case where my cookies are concerned, in fact, the most common response I’ve received after the initial taste, is WOW, these are really delicious. Why not try some and see for yourself?

Do you make gluten free? Do you have a nut free kitchen?

While I am willing to make gluten free cookies, the minimum order is two dozen and while I take every precaution to make sure they don’t come in contact with anything that’s touched flour, I do use flour in my kitchen.

My son literally lives on peanut butter. I don’t have a nut free kitchen.

Who is eating all these cookies?

You are! That’s right all these cookies have been custom made for fun cookie loving people just like you. No matter the event or occasion custom cookies make perfect treats or take away gifts. My kids and husband also enjoy these cookies and are my official taste testers.

What designs do you make?

I will attempt to make just about anything you can dream up, though I might charge a set up fee if you ask for something completely obscure, (someone recently ordered ear cookies) or if I have to create custom cookie cutters, like these Addams Family cookies in the picture below.

Where can I see the cookies?

The most recent cookie designs can be seen on my Instagram page: @cookiesareeverything.

How much do the cookies cost?

With a few exceptions the cookies are $5 each. Character cookies start at $6 each. They come beautifully packaged in a pretty box with lots of fluff and ribbon!

There will be an additional fee if I have to create a custom cookie cutter or stencil.

How many can I order? How many designs in an order?

You can order as many as you want, but the minimum order is one dozen.

Choose up to 3 designs for the first dozen with an additional design for every dozen thereafter. I’m willing to discuss if you must single out one cookie for its own individual design, or If you would like more than three designs.

Can you make me just one special cookie?

I’m sorry, but I can’t make you just one cookie.

How long do the cookies last?

The cookies come in a sealed airtight cellophane package and will last quite a few weeks if kept sealed. If you think they’ll be around longer than 3 weeks, I recommend freezing them.

How far in advance should I order?

As soon as you know you want cookies, so I can add you to my cookie calendar. It’s filling up quick! Would you like to order? Send me an email at cookies@hilarystyle.me.

Do you deliver?

I’m sorry, but I don’t deliver, I’m too busy baking and decorating all your cookies.

Do you ship?

Let’s discuss…

How long have you been doing this?

I am a life long baker.

How did you learn to do this?

Practice, patience and determination.

Can you teach me to make cookies like this?

I’d love to teach you how to make decorated sugar cookies. I’m offering group classes, for up to six people, in my home, or for an additional fee I can come to you.

Lessons include:

• 3 hours of dedicated lesson time
• Half a dozen cookies each (theme to be discussed)
• Decorating supplies
• Light snacks and drinks
• Take home cookie tools
• Tips, tricks and recipes
