Move over Tooth Fairy, the Cookie Fairy is here! Her name is
Paige McCurdy-Flynn, the owner and founder of Cookie Fairy Sweets based in Brooklyn, New
York.
Unlike many standard cookies that sit on retails shelves
chocked full of preservatives, this entrepreneur with a food stylist and French
Culinary Institute background sells her cookies frozen. This method ensures the
cookies retain their fresh baked flavor without having to add preservatives.
Cookie Fairy Sweets bakes its cookies in small batches to
retain its wholesome quality.
Ingredients include organic sweet-cream butter, free-range organic eggs,
pure extracts and natural unbleached flour.
I had the opportunity to try all three flavors of Cookie
Fairy Sweets:
- Lil’ Devils (four types of chocolate, ground oatmeal, hint of spice)
- My Man Cookies (chocolate chip, oatmeal, pecan, coconut)
- Oats & Raisins (chewy oatmeal with rum-soaked California raisins)
The package suggests users thaw cookies at room temperature
for 25 minutes or microwave them for extra yumminess (20 seconds for 1 cookie +
10 seconds for each additional). I tried them both ways.
The texture of the cookies was moister than pre-packaged
mass-produced ones that tend to crumble easily due to dryness. The flavors are
notable, but not overpowering (no too-sweet artificial flavors).
The real test lay with my husband who’s a bit of a gourmet
cook and my picky 3-year-old. They both tried and liked the cookies, and all
three bags were empty in no time. Our personal preference was to consume the
cookies warm for that fresh-out-of-the oven taste.
Cookie Fairy Sweets stay fresh for 6 months in freezer or 7
days in the refrigerator. The cookies are available in the frozen section of
stores in the New York City
area (view store
locator) as well as for shipping national wide by purchasing online at www.cookiefairysweets.com.
