PSA: How the flash sale actually works (because Square is weird).

You’re probably thinking: “Buy 5, get 1 free? Cool, I’ll just add 6 single cookies to my cart.”

And normally, yes. But Square doesn’t play nice with that math unless I build a special bundle.

So here’s the deal:

🍪 To get the Buy 5, Get 1 Free discount, you must add The Anthology Box to your cart.

That’s the 6‑cookie bundle (5 paid, 1 free). You can still choose any flavors you want – just use the flavor dropdown if available.

🔹 The Anthology Box also comes with the option to select our new Star‑Spangled Confetti cookie (Memorial Day flavor)

If you just add 6 individual cookies, Square will charge you for all 6. Don't do that. Do the box.

Thank you for working with my janky Square setup. My brakes thank you too. 🚗💨

Can’t decide?

That’s what flights are for. Our Anthology box gives you one of each signature flavor. Read them in order, shuffle them like a choose‑your‑own‑adventure, or save the Denouement for last.

No wrong way to turn these pages. 📦📚

The Denouement – the warm, exhaled resolution after everything has built and broken.

Natural peanut butter and semi‑sweet chocolate in a brown butter base, with ribbons of toasted marshmallow fluff marbled through so no two cookies are exactly alike.

It’s the chapter that makes everything before it worth it. 🥜🍫

Ink & Ivory – everything is contrast.

A cream‑toned brown butter dough loaded with semi‑sweet chocolate, pressed into a crust of crushed Oreo crumbs and dark cookie chunks before baking.

It looks exactly like a page mid‑print and tastes like the best thing you’ve ever marked with a folded corner.

Bold. Black. Unmistakable. 🖋️🤍

The Crowned Edition – a collector’s cookie for collectors of beautiful things.

Biscoff spread folded into the dough, layered across the top, and finished with a crowned piece pressed in while warm. Caramelized, spiced, architectural.

Every copy is a limited edition. 👑🍪

The Grimoire – dark, dense, not to be taken lightly.
Dutch cocoa in the dough, bittersweet chunks, a fudgy center pull, and a finish that lingers like the last line of a chapter you weren’t ready to leave.

For readers who go straight to the villain’s arc. 🖤📘

The Foxed Page – named for those warm amber spots that prove a book has been truly loved.

Ripe banana, brown butter, dark chocolate throughout. Soft, nostalgic, and deeply fragrant.

It tastes like someone left it on the counter for you, without a note, because they knew exactly what you needed. 🍌📖

Still looking for a last-minute Mother’s Day gift? ☺️🤎

The Bookmark — our most returned-to page. Brown butter, toasted vanilla bean, a whisper of cocoa and cinnamon… warm, comforting, and made to feel like home.

It’s the cookie people reach for first and think about longest 📚✨ The perfect little “thinking of you” for moms, grandmothers, bonus moms, and every woman who deserves something sweet this weekend.

We’re accepting last-minute Mother’s Day orders while availability lasts 🍪🫶🏽
