Why Cookies Make the Perfect Corporate Gift

When it comes to building strong business relationships, a thoughtful gesture can make all the difference. Corporate gifting has become an essential way to express gratitude, build loyalty, and leave a lasting impression. Among the many gift options out there, cookies stand out as a classic, crowd-pleasing choice. Here’s why cookies make an excellent corporate gift and how Tootie Cookies can help you make every gesture count.

1. A Treat Everyone Loves

Cookies have a universal appeal that’s hard to beat. They’re comforting, familiar, and evoke happy memories of home. This emotional connection makes them more than just a treat—it makes them a memorable experience. When you gift cookies, you’re sharing joy and creating a warm, positive association with your brand.

2. Customization Adds a Personal Touch

At Tootie Cookies, we understand the power of personalization. Our cookie boxes can be tailored to your needs, making every gift unique and thoughtful. Choose from:

• Handwritten Messages: Add a personal note to show your gratitude.

• Branded Packaging: Showcase your company’s logo for a polished, professional presentation.

• Variety of Flavors: Select from a wide range of gourmet options to suit diverse tastes.

3. Perfect for Every Occasion

Cookies are versatile and fit seamlessly into a variety of gifting scenarios. Whether you’re celebrating a successful deal, thanking employees for their hard work, reconnecting with a client, or simply spreading some holiday cheer, cookies are always a welcome gift.

4. High Impact Without Breaking the Bank

Corporate gifting doesn’t have to be extravagant to be meaningful. Cookies strike the perfect balance of affordability and impact. With Tootie Cookies, you can deliver a premium experience that resonates with recipients without exceeding your budget.

5. Strengthens Relationships

A thoughtful gift can transform a business relationship. Clients, employees, and partners remember companies that take the time to show appreciation. Sending a box of cookies conveys that you value the connection beyond just transactions.

6. Simple and Stress-Free Gifting

We know your time is valuable, which is why we’ve made the gifting process as easy as possible. From selecting flavors to adding personalized messages, Tootie Cookies takes care of every detail, so you don’t have to. Let us handle the logistics while you enjoy the results.

Success Stories from Sweet Gestures

Our customers have seen incredible outcomes from cookie gifting. One client reignited a stalled lead who later became a six-figure partner, all thanks to a simple, heartfelt cookie box. Another built strong ties with a title company, resulting in faster, smoother transactions.

Turn Every Gift Into a Memorable Moment

Hey everyone!

The most exciting thing I want to share with you all is that we have rolled out shipping! We ask for your patience as we are a new business, and this is new territory for us. Sometimes it is hard to believe that Tootie Cookies became a business just FOUR MONTHS ago! 

Some facts about our shipping process:

Shipping will be $8, for each additional item, $2 dollars will be added to the cost of shipping. If you spend $75 or more shipping is free! We will be working with the USPS to fulfill our shipping orders.

All orders will require 2 business days to process your order. If you place an order on Thursday, your order will not be baked and shipped until the following Monday. I do not want your shipment to be delayed and sitting in the post office over the weekend!  My highest priority is maintaining freshness, this means I will be baking your order the same day it is shipped.

 Once your order is out of our hands, any delays are out of our control. We will do our best to communicate with you along the way. We can not guarantee an exact delivery date or the condition it arrives in. Believe me if I could, I would personally deliver your order to you anywhere in the world, this is why I was so hesitant to offer shipping. BUT just like babies, they eventually walk, grow up, and advance their independence- all we can do is set them up for success, AMIRITE? Your Tooties will be individually wrapped and sealed, with padding throughout the box to set them up for their journey ahead. IN THE EVENT that your order arrives damaged, late, or *GASP* not at all I still want to know about it! 

Once your order arrives you will find a care card with your order. This card will tell you everything you need to know about preserving the freshness of your Tooties! 

The next thing I want to discuss is ingredients and alternative offerings. Making these cookies is something that I perfected over the last 15+ years. I am asked all the time if I will offer gluten free, vegan, dairy free, sugar free or alternatives, Kosher or peanut/ tree nut free options. The best answer I can give is not right now. I work out of my home kitchen primarily, and I go through great lengths to clean and sterilize. I even have a professional come in twice a month to clean my home thoroughly. 

There’s still no way, in good conscious, I could promise any of these options. I have started working out of a commercial kitchen as well that allows me to take on larger orders and markets, but it is not an allergy restricted facility. I hope that one day I can shout from the roof tops that all of these options are available because I want everyone to experience the joy that a Tootie brings, we are just not there yet. I promise you, these alternatives way heavily in my mind and my heart because inclusivity means a lot to me. To be an ethical business owner means learning everything I can about these alternatives, researching, researching some more, testing out recipes, learning from seasoned professionals and taking it in stride. I am just one person, with the help of my husband and as always, I am never willing to compromise on quality, freshness, making you happy but above all else…YOUR SAFETY! 

I hope the option to ship is just as exciting for you as it is for us! My friends looking for alternatives, I can’t give a definitive answer, but know I am considering it down the line!

Anyone who is local to Bloomfield, NJ, I will be at the Women’s History Month Networking Event on Thursday, 3/23 at Bloomfield Steakhouse from 6-8PM. Tootie Cookies is hoping to get into some markets, so follow us on IG @tootie_cookies for all the latest! You may even have the chance to meet our “Tootie Cuties” AKA our test testers AKA our daughters! We would love to meet you in person! The markets are such a great opportunity for our daughters to get involved in the business and make the connection that “mommy” is a business owner. Let’s rock Women’s History Month this month AND every month! 

With love,

Angela 

I was featured on The Tamron Hall Show

Hey everyone!!

Can you believe it! I am part of the TAM FAM!!!!! Thank you to everyone who tuned in to the Tamron Hall Show to support me! It was such a surreal experience to be on national TV while Tamron Hall, Kimberly Brown, and Susie Moore tried my TOOTIES and gave me solid business advice.

 Tootie Cookies has been a vision that I have had for quite some time. For those of you who don’t know my story I would like to share it with you now.

I am a wife to my amazing husband, Dennis and together we have two girls, Amelia (5) and Liliana (4). Being a mom has been my entire identity for the last 5 years. I worked in education for roughly 6 years before having children. When we found out that we were pregnant with Amelia, we both decided it would be amazing for me to stay home with her for as long as we could afford it. When Amelia was about 3 months old, we discovered that I was pregnant again with Lily! WHAT A BLESSING! It was also scary to imagine being a stay-at-home mom to 2 under 1, which was the case for exactly 10 days before Amelia turned 1 AND living on a single income. The alternative was to return to work and find childcare for my girls, neither of us were comfortable with that idea. My incredible husband worked A LOT to be able to provide for us and I tucked my dreams of discovering ANGELA for another day. I baked whenever I had a free moment (HA) and would bring my cookies to family get togethers. I always sat near the dessert table for two reasons: to make sure my kids didn’t eat everything and to watch as people tried my cookies for the first time. I would feel such pride and excitement when their eyes would close and they would shout, “OK, who made these COOKIES!!” I still never imagined turning this into a business, after all I have two degrees for crying out loud and neither are in the cookie making business! 

One day over the summer on a very rare occasion, Dennis “DJ” and I were kid free for the afternoon. We started to talk about our dreams, his vision was so clear- it was inspiring. He turned to me and asked me about my dreams. I felt a little sad and embarrassed if I am being honest because I felt so lost, my default was to just talk about my dreams…. for the girls. Although he has always encouraged me to pursue my passions it never felt like it was the right time for me and after 5 years, I had no idea what my passion was! Was it to return to teaching? Should I get an office job? Maybe I should go back to school for a third time and become an Occupational Therapist! 

Finally, I said jokingly that it would be really cool to just bake cookies and make people happy. Dennis DID NOT BACK DOWN. I was waiting for him to laugh, but instead he was bursting with joy! He had so many follow up questions and before I could even catch up with the conversation, we were seeing if Tootie Cookies was available (you’ll have to tune in to the next newsletter on how I settled on the name Tootie Cookies)! 

Fast forward to today, Amelia is in kindergarten, Lily is in Pre-K, Dennis took a big, bold leap of faith and is currently working from home as a real estate investor. The cottage law had just been passed in NJ for bakers to bake from home, what did I have to lose! Well, I dragged my feet for a really long time to get my permit and came up with every excuse in the book, BUT I finally completed all of the requirements and received it in November 2022. Since then I have started to find myself, not Angela the wife, mommy, daughter, friend, sister, aunt, cousin… ME! It is not always easy, sometimes I get discouraged, but then an incredible opportunity came to me. 

A friend reached out to me about a post she saw regarding the Tamron Hall Show. In true Angela form I quickly dismissed her – sorry Natalie! The post then showed up on my feed a few days later and without thinking I quickly responded. One thing led to another, and your girl was selected!!!! 

Two incredible things have happened since being on the show and I am going to tell you right now, it has nothing to do with money. 

The first thing that I realized since being on the show is that this was meant for me, all those times in my life that I wished to God something would change for me, or happen for me, it was all leading to this moment. It has given me the confidence to press on and pursue this! 

The second thing that has come about since being on the show is related to my girls. My girls are my entire life, this year has been an adjustment to say the least. I’ve had a lot of sleepless nights worrying about them starting school for the first time. We are lucky that they both have such incredible teachers, I am not just saying that- we are fortunate to have the best teachers in place for our girls and our family because they truly care about their students and their students’ families. I know because Ms. F and Mrs. M have definitely seen me cry on more than one occasion, at the drop of a hat, and have been nothing but caring. Mrs. P is always quick to respond and goes out of her way to be so loving! AND YOU GUYS (sorry I am from JERSEY!) this comes so naturally from them, so please if you know a good teacher, treat them with reverence and respect!! Anyways I digress, but since being on Tamron Hall I have seen a confidence boost in my girls! They are proud of ME, and that proudness has encouraged them to be confident in themselves! This above anything else means more to me than anything else. 

If you got this far, THANK YOU, I am almost done, promise. The future of Tootie Cookies looks really exciting!!! We are looking to expand into a commercial space which will allow me to ship and open many more opportunities for the business!!!! For anyone that knows me, you know that I am perfectly comfortable hiding or talking about anything or anyone but me. I am slowly transforming into the identity of business owner. I want you to know that if you ordered from me, watched my awkward IG posts, peeked at my website, or even just reached out to say hi, YOU mean everything to me, and I want to continue to serve you cookies with a smile and a positive experience! To my family and friends, thank you for your continued support and for being my first customers.  

Love always,

Angela
