SomeCookiesBecause Hi! I’m Duveen, a cottage baker in Lincoln, NE. I create beautiful custom decorated sugar cookies for your special occasions.

See my Instagram highlights for customer reviews.

* 100% of every cookie sale is donated to (senior) dog rescue organizations.* You can find lots of information about my cookies at https://www.somecookiesbecause.com/pricing-and-faqs. But here are answers to a few frequently asked questions:

-- Cookie orders begin at $55/dozen.

-- Cookie flavors: Classic almond vanilla, white chocolate cranbe

rry, chocolate, or subtle strawberry.

-- I'm sorry, but I don't offer gluten-, dairy-, or sugar-free cookies.

-- I need at least two weeks advanced notice for an order, and I typically don't do more than 3-4 dozen cookies per order.

-- All cookies must be picked up locally in Lincoln, Nebraska.

These cookies celebrate Ann’s 41-year career at UNMC – years spent shepherding students, programs, conferences, and communities across Nebraska. Known as their “professional den mother,” she is also the queen of all things related to conferences and event planning. This includes her love of making name badges and ribbons and using her famous chimes to keep events running on schedule. She’s also an avid Bunco player, so naturally we needed cookies for that, too. Congratulations, Ann!

Cookies for a 95th birthday and perhaps one of my most challenging sets! Her daughter said her mom likes plants, flowers, purple, playing cards, and watching Husker games.

I was unsure how to incorporate Husker red, purple, and green in a single set … but I think the result is a success! All the cookies together or mix them up and choose your vibe 😊

It's National Puppy Day! Here's a quick look at some dog-themed giveaway cookies I made for the Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue booth at this year's "I Love My Dog Expo" in Lincoln, NE 🐾❤️🐾

(If the cute English sheepdog is your design, please let me know. I've been searching and searching so I can give that creative person credit!)

If you’ve followed my account for a while, you know that 100% of my cookie sale proceeds is donated directly to dog/senior dog rescue organizations. Senior rescues have so so much love to give; they are wonderful dogs.

Choosing which organizations to support is never easy. There is such a great need and so many groups doing incredible work. This year’s cookie proceeds went to The Farm: Senior Dog Sanctuary, Nebraska No Kill Canine Rescue, and truefaithfulpetrescuemission. I’d love it if you took the time to visit their pages. Their good work and the very good dogs they help will make you smile, guaranteed.

I am so grateful for everyone who has ordered cookies. Thanks to you, since 2023, my cookie donations have totaled nearly $9,000. My goal for 2026 is increase my cookie sales by 20% and grow that running total even more!

Since this post is more about rescue dogs than cookies, I’ve added a short video of my rescue pup, Jack. He came to me at 13 years old, and now he’s on his way to 17! He loves blankets and burrowing, sitting on my lap, sniffing everything on slow walks, and going for car rides. Don’t miss the part of Jack wrapping himself up in his favorite blanket at the end!

And just for fun, here are a few of my favorite dog accounts (in addition to the ones listed above):

Adopt Old Dogs (Because … well, obviously!)

Steve Schirripa (Because his dog Willie Boy makes me imagine how Jack might have been as a younger dog)

Meet Wilma (Because I love her charming dachshund art!)

Thank you all so much for helping these dogs ❤️ Duveen

Cookies for this "Something Blue Before I Do" bridal shower included all the pretty things in soft blues ... from rings and bows to flowers and wedding gowns and more! I can't pick my favorite. Which one is yours?

PS: This set also includes one of the first cutters I ever bought. Any guesses which one it might be?
