Questions
Everything you need to know about custom orders, freshness, pickup, packaging and creating a cookie set made especially for your celebration.
Before You Order
1. Are your cookies homemade?
Yes! Every single cookie is handmade from scratch with love by Mady. Each batch is baked fresh to order using quality ingredients — never store-bought or pre-made.
2. Can I request a custom design?
Absolutely! All cookies are individually customized to your theme, colors, or occasion. Whether it’s a birthday, baby shower, wedding, or corporate event, we’ll create a design made especially for your celebration.
3. How far in advance should I place my order?
We recommend placing your order at least 2–3 weeks in advance to secure your date. Rush orders may be available depending on our schedule and may include an additional fee.
4. Do you offer rush orders?
Yes, depending on availability. Orders placed with less than one week’s notice are considered rush orders and may include an extra charge depending on design complexity and quantity.
5. How are the cookies packaged?
Each cookie is individually wrapped and sealed for freshness, then carefully packaged for a beautiful presentation — perfect for gifting, parties, and special events.
6. Do you ship cookies?
Currently, Cookies by Mady offers local pickup and delivery only from Pomona, California. Shipping is not available at this time.
7. How long do the cookies stay fresh?
Our cookies stay fresh for approximately 2–3 weeks when kept in their sealed bags at room temperature. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 3 months.
8. Do you make gluten-free or vegan cookies?
At this time, we specialize in our traditional sugar cookie recipe and do not currently offer gluten-free or vegan options.
9. What is the minimum order?
The minimum order is typically 2 dozen (24 cookies) per design or theme. For larger events or custom quantities, please contact us directly.
10. How do I place an order?
Submit your request through our Place an Order page. Include your event date, quantity, theme, colors, and any inspiration you have. We’ll follow up to confirm availability and pricing.

Once your order details are confirmed, we’ll send you an invoice. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking, with the remaining balance due before pickup.
