13 best cookie delivery services to send treats for the holidays

Naturally, you’re probably trying to figure out what to buy your loved ones, co-workers and acquaintances. Lucky for you, we have a ton of holiday gift guides worth checking out, as well as this one sweet idea: cookies!

If you think about it, cookies and the holidays sort of belong together. And if you order them from one of the best cookie delivery services, you won’t have to worry about baking them, burning them or any other inconvenience.

Yes, cookies are an easy-to-make dessert that’s delectable straight out of the oven, but they’re also a treat that sometimes can’t be shared with your loved ones in person. Again, this is where ordering them comes in and there are tons of options to go with. Mrs. Fields, Levain Bakery, Milk Bar, Harry & David — we could go on and on.

Having a tin of cookies delivered straight to your door is not only a great gift idea for far away family members, but your kids’ teachers, work pals and anyone else you know that needs a pick-me-up, sweet tooth style!

Whether your intended receiver is vegan, gluten-free or a true chocoholic, there’s a cookie for them! Here are our favorite places to order this iconic dessert.

Editor’s Pick: Crimson Mini Box ($69.99), Thank You Nibbler Bite Size Cookie Handouts ($44.99)

All hail the queen of chocolate chip: Mrs. Fields. Whether you’re eyeing the chunky classic desserts from inside your shopping mall or scrolling through all its festive and traditional packages online, you can’t go wrong with gifting from this classic concierge.

Aside from its bite-sized Nibblers Signature Tin ($44.99), Mrs. Fields also has delivery options for delicious items, such as the Gourmet Cookie Tower ($129.99), Sweet Sampler ($54.99), and a whole buffet of more. 

Don’t forget to check out the customized cookie cakes, too! They’re great for office parties, birthdays and holiday get togethers.

Editor’s Pick: The Sweetie ($85)

Milk Bar has been “shaking up the dessert scene” for more than a decade with its sweet orders of cakes, pies, cake truffles and more. For its cookies, the brand offers assorted cookie tins starting at $27, with flavor options ranging from chocolate chip marshmallow to chocolate confetti.

Plus, Milk Bar has a “gifts under $50” shop where you can browse all mouth-watering indulgences for your next gift.

Editor’s Pick: Cheryl’s Dessert Tray Gift Box ($99.99), Dog and Owner Treats Gift ($49.99)

Cheryl’s is the quintessential cookie gift-and-send service that freshly bakes buttercream cookies, gourmet unfrosted and even cookie dough and decorating kits.

Plus, their holiday collection is extensive. The Entertainment Basket ($69.99), for example, comes with six different types of cookies, as well as four slices of four different flavors of cakes! Another offering we love for this wonderful time of year is the Holiday Treats Ornaments (set of 8) for $60. Each ornament is filled with yummy cookie treats, including chocolate chip and seasonally appropriate buttercream frosted holiday cookie cutouts. Yum!

Editor’s Pick: Decadent Cookie Assortment, 12-pack ($79.00)

This cookie delivery guide would be incomplete without a mention of Levain Bakery. If you’re in NYC, make Levain a priority — even if it requires a subway trip.

Goldbelly doesn’t just deliver cookies. It’s your go-to hub for hot bagels and thick-crust pizza, too, if that’s more up your alley this holiday season.

The cookies come in the shape of shot glasses and yes, you can pour milk into them. When they arrive, just pop them into the microwave for a few seconds. They’ll be warm, gooey and ready to enjoy! The cookie shots come in a variety of flavors and some are even vegan!

If you want something a little more traditional, Dirty Cookie also has stuffed cookies starting at $34.99. You can opt for a single flavor like White Chocolate Chunk with Cookie Batter or build your own assortment.

Editor’s Pick: Brownie and Blondie Combo ($31.00), Banana Pudding Lovers Sampler Pack ($80.00)

Yes, Magnolia Bakery does more than cupcakes!

The iconic bakery also makes delicious cookies that can be delivery straight to the door of someone you love. From Banana Bread Cookies to Chocolate Chunk, there’s a flavor waiting to be enjoyed with a warm cup of milk, cocoa or whatever you like pairing with the dessert.

Editor’s Pick: The Core Collection ($140.00)

Have you ever hid a restaurant from your friends, just so you could be the only one to know it? That way, you could casually drop that you “know a place,” and completely blow their minds? Then Last Crumb is for you. This L.A.-based bakeshop is so exclusive, you need to order a batch of cookies online as soon as they go on sale or become a Last Crumb Member by signing up for the newsletter. It’s the best way to know when a new batch of moist and sweet treats have hit the oven!

If you can’t be bothered with all of that (though we recommend giving them a try), Last Crumb also does corporate orders, so if you want to grab something for your work mates, it’s possible without waiting for the company’s latest launch.

Cookies are sort of like clothes. What’s best all depends on your personal taste and needs. Do you like a moist, chewy cookie or something crispy around the edges? Whatever your answer, you’ll get no judgements from us. We love cookies and will take them however we can.

When it comes to online cookie shopping, there are a handful of options that ship nationally. Here are a few favorites:

Although shipping costs vary depending on the cookie delivery service you go with, some do offer shipping at no cost. Case in point, Cheryl’s currently has an entire section of cookies that ships for free. Make sure to use code FRSHIP. The offer is valid until Dec. 31, 2023.

Another place that offers free shipping is Harry & David. The brand’s Passport Membership ($19.99 per year), earns customers lots of perks, like bonus points, early access to products and — you guessed it — your order, free. It’s definitely worth checking out, especially if you find yourself sending different gift baskets throughout the year.
