Smiley Cookies: Review and Giveaway

by Mrs. Moneysaver on November 18, 2009

Just the other day Smiley Cookies sent me a special treat- a dozen sugar cookies. What a fun treat! These cookies are (huge!) sugar cookies covered in smiley face icing. Absolutely yummy too! My husband, daughter, and I have enjoyed them- more rapidly than I care to share.

Smiley cookies, while staples at Eat’n Park restaurants, are also available to buy online by the dozen and in gift packs, making an incredibly cute gift for a family or someone who needs a little pick-me-up. Smiley Cookies also offers gift packs if that’s more your style.

Smiley Cookies are available in a traditional color assortment, limited editions, or you can even personalize your cookies by picking the colors. My little girl is crazy about the color right now, so I had my Smiley Cookies painted in pink icing with a yellow smiley face. Very cute! They just fueled my daughter’s obsession with all things pink.

For the holidays, Smiley Cookies is offering Christmas tree cookies as well as gingerbread Smileys. I’m thinking these might just make a sweet treat to send to someone over the next few weeks.

You know, I love sending people special surprises in the mail, but the prices are usually a bit steep if you order from a company. But I was pleasantly surprised by the Smiley Cookie prices. A dozen range from $8.99-$9.99 plus shipping- not bad for a sweet gift shipped right to someone’s door! And if you spend $40 or more, they’ll ship for free. You can take a look a the Smiley store here.
