For too long, cookies have been relegated to a supportive capacity, holding together ice-cream sandwiches or giving their lives to make milk chunkier. Give cookies a well-deserved starring role with today's deal: for $18, you get one box of 18 Valentine's Day sugar cookies from Vanilla Bean Desserts (a $36 value), offering home delivery to the greater Halifax area.

Vanilla Bean Desserts bakes up myriad tasty treats using fresh, local ingredients whenever possible and no preservatives or additives. Owners Jane and Evelyn form a mother-daughter duo of cape-wearing icing artists who create customized, hand-decorated sugar cookies perfect for holiday parties, commemorative occasions, or courting a new tax attorney. Snatch up a box of heart-shaped sugar cookies to share the Valentine’s spirit with a benevolent basement apparition or Ghost Dad supporting actor. The 3" to 4" cookies are available in chocolate or vanilla flavours, with all desserts made by hand, just like art or passports. Contact Vanilla Bean Desserts to place your order.
