Most baked desserts are made of three essential components—flour to give them structure, eggs to bind, and sugar to balance out each tablespoon of pepper. Experience these baking foundations at their pinnacle with today's Groupon: for $20, you get $40 worth of fresh-baked cookies and brownies from Geoff & Drew's. This Groupon can be applied toward shipping anywhere in the United States.

The bakers of Geoff & Drew's freshly craft all-natural cookies and brownies with no preservatives or trans fat. Holiday treats come gift-boxed and ready for storage under the tree, with a selection that includes eight assorted brownies in flavors such as mint and toffee ($20 each). Geoff & Drew's cookies, a winner at 2009's New England Dessert Showcase, also come in festive packages such as a holiday box of 16 cookies ($32.95) that includes a bonus gingerbread man to keep watch over the treats and prevent theft by anyone but Santa. Distant loved ones can benefit from receiving a shipment of eight brownies ($20) or a sky blue box that reveals eight chocolate-chip cookies made with pure Madagascar bourbon-vanilla extract ($16) and approved by the greek god of baked goods.
