For more than 30 years, the name of the elusive baked goods baroness has been a shopping-mall mainstay. Utilizing a secret blend of high-quality ingredients, her underground bakery bunker doles out oven-fresh favorites with the grace of a nimble gazelle wafting delicately across the African outback. Fuel up on chocolate-studded favorites (nuts optional) such as chocolate chocolate-chip and white chocolate, or try oatmeal raisin, cinnamon sugar, and peanut butter. Brownies and brownie bites come in similarly spectacular specialty flavors, with classic fudginess at the dark, chewy heart of each.

After shopping online for everything you never knew your friends and family needed, you can reward yourself with a handful of chewy treasures. Conveniently pocket sized, cookies inevitably taste better when there is no actual cooking involved in getting them. The days of softening sticks of salted or unsalted butter, inadvertently eating raw egg, and burning your cookie grabbers grabbing hot cookies off pans, plates, and electrified cookie jars have gone into that hard, stale past where philosophers sleep. A half-dozen cookies solve many of the problems associated with cookies, including scarcity, rareness, and shortage of cookies.
