Shipment issues?

Once your order is shipped, we no longer have control over the package while it is in the distributor’s possession. By placing an order, you understand that any delays, damages, lost packages, or other issues that occur during shipping are beyond our control.

We recommend keeping an eye out for your package and not leaving it in direct sunlight, rain, or other conditions that could cause damage. Please note that we do not accept returns, refunds, or cancellations, and we do not replace lost or damaged items.

If your package is returned due to an incorrect address, you can choose to pay a $12 reshipping fee. If you choose not to reship, we will not issue a refund for the order. To avoid this, please triple-check your shipping address before placing the order.

How can I reheat my cookies?

For warm and gooey cookies, heat them in the microwave for 8-10 seconds or in a 350-degree oven for 5-10 minutes.

How do I properly store my cookies?

Cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For optimal freshness, freeze cookies immediately in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw out at room temperature or in the fridge overnight.

What ingredients are in your cookies?

Real ingredients, real flavor! Chel’s cookies are made with ingredients you can pronounce and recognize – the kind you would find in your own kitchen. There are no preservatives, just pure goodness!

Are your products allergy-friendly?

Products are made by hand using equipment that processes wheat, dairy, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts and soy. Please know that while I do my best to prevent cross-contamination, this is not an allergy-free home bakery.

Do you make gluten-free or dairy-free cookies?

Occasionally, there will be gluten-friendly and/or dairy free options. Feel free to contact me for custom orders. Important: “Gluten-friendly” is typically used to describe products that are not entirely free of gluten but may contain significantly reduced amounts of gluten because they are prepared in the same kitchen as gluten-containing foods. These products are suitable for individuals who may have a sensitivity to gluten or prefer to limit their gluten intake. They may not be suitable for those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance.
