Back when the snickerdoodle and the Thin Mint were nothing more than dance crazes, sock-hopping teens secretly wished for tiny candied Frisbees to complement their moves. Wishes do come true with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of cookies, tarts, brownies, and more from David's Cookies.

Since 1979, David's Cookies has used home-grown recipes to conjure freshly baked treats from all-natural ingredients, adding its own twists such as replacing chocolate chips with rich, hearty choco-chunks. David's signature cookies come in tasty variations including peanut butter, macadamia with white chip, oatmeal raisin, and more—all of which mingle, network, and flirt inside the assorted one-pound tin ($24.95). As the holidays silently creep up on us, regale friends, family, and secret family with a decadent gift of assorted mini-cheesecakes, which burst with flavors such as black forest, turtle, and cappuccino ($44.95 for 12 pieces). David's can also defuse sweet teeth before their timer reaches zero with original crumb cake ($19.95), fruit-packed tarts, cream-cheese-dough rugelach, and scones.

Shipping is not included in this deal.
