2009 Picks For Best Cakes & Cookies

 

We’ve enjoyed every one of these products, and would be happy to find them under our tree (or in our mailbox any day of the year). Almost all are less than $25.00. If you want even more suggestions, check out our Chocolate Gifts Under $15 gift list or our other 2009 holiday gift ideas.

Products are presented in alphabetical order. Prices and product availability are verified at publication but are subject to change. These items are offered by a third party and THE NIBBLE has no relationship with them.

   

Baker Maid:
Almond Toffee Crunch Cookies & Lime Cookies

We were happy that these addictive toffee cookies are small—because we could eat several at a clip. They’re not too sweet and just right for every purpose, from a coffee break for adults to deserving a cookie snack with milk for the younger snack. They’re also available in an assortment, either in a beautiful fabric-covered keepsake box.

  • Almond Toffee Crunch Cookies
    12-Ounce Box
    $15.00
  • Cookie Assortment
    Almond Toffee Crunch, Chocolate
    Chip, Peanut Butter
    12-Ounce Box

Baker Maid:
Mini Fruitcake Slices

Miniature slices (three bites) of light or dark fruitcake (we prefer the light) preserve a Christmas tradition while giving everyone just a taste of this dense treat, laden with candied fruit. Individually-wrapped slices can be easily dispensed to co-workers. The keepsake tin is a second gift that remains when the fruitcake is gone.

  • Golden Light or Dark Brandied
    Fruitcake

    One Pound Of Slices In Gift Tin
    $12.00
  • Two Pounds Of Slices In Gift Tin

BT Brownies

We really loved these artisan brownies, and so will everyone who receives a box. Many bakers claim to make a “moist, fudgy brownie.” BT Brownies truly delivers on the promise. The recipes are so elegant that the brownies are never too rich. They’re available in assorted flavors (Chocolate, Cookie, Peanut Butter & Pumpkin Brownies) or single flavor, packaged in a lovely gift box, tied with a grosgrain ribbon. Read our full review of BT Brownies, a NIBBLE Top Pick Of The Week.

Laceys Cookies:
Chocolate Almond & Milk Chocolate Macadamia

 

If you come across these milk chocolate macadamia toffee or dark chocolate almond toffee wafers at club stores, grab them. They’re a terrific value in the box, and a bit more expensive in the gift tin when sold online. Crisp almond cookies sandwiched chocolate and coated with soft toffee, they are a special-occasion treat.

  • Chocolate Almond Laceys
    In A Gift Tin (Tin Not Shown)
    $14.99
