Raise your hand if you also can’t manage to bake delicious cookies? I’ve tried those “easy” recipes, and the closest I’ve ever come to success was due to the help of those pre-mixed Betty Crocker boxes. If you want really good cookies to give to friends and family this holiday but are not the most talented baker, here are a few places we highly recommend for getting your holiday desserts.
Peach
If you’re in the mood for pies, look no further than Peach! They’re your hands-free solution to the holiday feasts. Peach’s Merriest Pies provide pies 100 percent homemade with love and freshly baked, even during the busiest days. Some pies are worth waiting for. Pre-order before 5pm to receive next day by noon.
Peach is also selling a Christmas-themed cookie box and it’s quite possibly one of the most delicious boxes of baked goodies that’s also incredible value for money. Trust me when I say that for RMB 188 you get a heavy-duty box of freshly baked goodies.
Comptoirs de France
They’ve got a huge selection of Christmas cookies, Stollen bread, yule logs, cakes, and more. Visit their shops in person or explore their mini program.
Mary Sweets
What started as a home kitchen operation has grown into a well-known brand that makes all sorts of delicious treats while never losing their homemade taste. This holiday season, Mary Sweets is offering Christmas donuts, gingerbread cookies, and peppermint cookies.
Sweets & Spices
Ready for a sweet holiday treat? It’s the season to indulge in a variety of cookies. 🍪🎄❄️⛄️ Cookies are freshly baked to order.
EFE Bakery Pastries & Sweets
Get the classic holiday favorites at EFE. Find everything from rice pudding to zesty lemon tarts and even something called a chocolate salame.
Chef Fiona
Christmas is just around the corner and what better way to get ready than by making Stollen, a classic German festive treat? This enriched dough is packed to the brim with Christmas spices, blanched almonds, boozy fruits and is drenched in butter and icing sugar – what’s not to love about that?! Each loaf is 650g and must be ordered in advance. Get in touch with Chef Fiona via WeChat at fionayaoxi or scan the QR code below.
JCC Bakery
If you have children or are allergic to alcohol, the non-alcoholic Christmas cakes from JCC Bakery are the best choice for Christmas!
