I knew I had to check it out! Displayed on the table was an appetizing assortment of 6 giant stuffed cookies. I couldn’t resist and quickly said “Let’s make this easy, I’ll take one of each.” The cost was $36; certainly steep, but for something decadent and unique from a small vegan business, why not? According to Danielle (the owner, chief baker and lady running the booth), most of her cookies freeze well, but I don’t believe in freezing cookies. So over the next little while, I’ll eat these 6 giant cookies. The third I’ve tried is Birthday Surprise! I suppose the surprise is the cake batter frosting centre. And it was incredible! The cookie was soft, fresh, chewy with the sweet and wonderful frosting centre, and sprinkles on top. It was most certainly rich. The cookie was about 1.5 cm thick (this is an eyeball measurement). It’s not surprising that the nutritional values were less than stellar, but what can you do? It’s not like I’ll be eating these everyday…although I will be eating them often to avoid freezing them. I think this cookie might have the most calories of all the 6; nearly 700 calories. Thankfully I didn’t look at the Nutrition Facts table when I bought the cookies and before eating them. This company operates online from the Kincardine, Ontario area. About 45 different kinds of cookies are made, but I think Danielle rotates through the variety monthly. Without any doubt, I would order cookies from Tree-Eats. They’re truly unique.
