A: Once you have tasted our cookies, you will notice that they are sweet enough, but not too sweet, and have lots of great texture. That's because we cut down on the sugar (we use only natural raw sugar) and include whole grains*, such as oats and whole wheat flour, for added fiber. We also use dark chocolate chunks in our Triple Chocolate Chip Oatmeal and Rich & Chewy Chocolate Chocolate Chip mixes. All of our mixes, prepared as directed, contain no trans fats and no artificial flavors or preservatives.

* The Rich and Chewy Chocolate Chocolate Chip mix is low in fat, dairy-free, and egg-free but is not a whole grain recipe.

A: In many stores throughout North America (to see our full listing click here) and online at Abe's Market.

A: It varies depending on the size of the cookies you form from the dough. Typically, you can expect 24 -30 medium cookies.

A: Parchment paper provides a non–stick surface for easy removal of cookies, and easy clean–up. If you do not have parchment on hand, simply follow the directions on the back of the cookie mix box (some recipes call for greased cookie sheets, some do not).

A: We suggest using a cookie scoop for best results. A cookie scoop helps keep each cookie to a consistent size and shape for even baking. You may want to rotate cookie sheets during baking if you find that your oven has "hot spots."

A: Baking times give a range since oven temperatures vary. We recommend keeping an eye on the cookies near the end of baking time, and, as a general rule, remove them from the oven when the edges are golden brown and the top remains slightly soft. With darker doughs, check the edges to see that they are firm and that the top is still soft. Keep in mind that even one minute can make the difference between a "good" cookie and an over–baked one!

A: Store in an airtight container for 1–2 days or wrap cookies in heavy–duty freezer bags or sturdy airtight containers and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature, with the container unsealed, when you are ready to serve.

A: Yes, but you may notice a change in texture. To freeze the dough, we recommend that you first form the cookies, freeze them on a cookie sheet until solid, and then wrap them well in a re–sealable plastic freezer bag. When you are ready, place on baking sheet and bake as directed on the mix package. Baking directions can also be found on our Products page.

A: Our products are not gluten-free. We've made a conscious decision to stay with what we do best - creating all-natural cookie mixes with quality ingredients that yield consistently delicious, healthier, homemade results.

A: Try a sugar substitute (such as Splenda® or agave nectar) for all or part of the sugar packet to your taste. Follow the recommendations provided on the product's label for best results. A butter substitute (such as Smart Balance® or canola oil) can be used for all or part of the butter.
