When I bake i usually double the recipe but I made it easier so you can bake with 1 stick of butter or cut it in half and bake with half a stick!
Even though nobody wanted my cookies during the trunk or treat im not going to give up! Ill do better next time!!!
Thank you everyone so so so much from the bottom of my heart for your kindness on my last post. I thought nobody would see it but I cant believe all the nice words and comfort you given me. You are all amazing bakers and awesome people.

No one is eating baked goods from strangers at Halloween
Looks so good!
Honey they look delicious and are beautiful wrapped, I would have grabbed them all ❤️
All look incredible, people are too paranoid these days nobody is drugging kids with free cookies, at the very least I’d take some to eat myself!
They look great but cookies aren’t appropriate for trick or treating which is probably why nobody took any
They look amazing! Maybe putting ingredients would help (lots of folks with food allergies that might be staying away etc).
Wow, no one wanted brown butter chocolate chip cookies…? What is the world coming to…I’m guessing they just wanted candy?
they look delightful!
this is absolutely unrelated, is your business name a Birdcage reference?
People kinda *have* to be paranoid these days. The knife logo doesn’t help, but what can you do now. But they do look delicious! I would pay for them!
You can tell how much love went into these. People are missing out.
I don’t know where you are but these would’ve done great in my small town. Also me personally, even though I’m 30, would rather go for homemade cookies than gross candy. I think many people are misreading and/or don’t understand that a TRUNK or treat is more like a block party in a common area of a town (like a school or community center) and you have to sign up or register, it’s not just random strangers pulling up and giving shit away out of their cars.
Omg I would have so eaten these even if it was from a stranger. 😂 Ty for the receipe op, I’m gonna try it out.
I’m sure they’re great. They look great! But your logo is literally a blade inside the treat. That is THE thing they warn us about as kids….
Also homemade treats from strangers are the biggest red flag at Halloween time, unfortunately.
They look great! Wishing you better luck at your next event.
If you displayed them like the photo maybe it was too hard for people see what you were offering. Maybe make a display describing each type of cookie and listing ingredients.
Don’t get discouraged–the cookies look amazing, and you are clearly a caring and talented baker!
Love your name!!!
Now I want cookies! What were the other flavours? I see a latte swirl
Those look fantastic. Do you live in a neighborhood where everyone knows everyone?
I’m asking because… I’m older. I grew up at a time when there was that scare that sickos put razor blades in apples. Our parents went through our bags and verything that wasn’t factory sealed got thrown out.
That’s over 50 years ago. Maybe times have changed.. or it’s not a concern where you live. Because those cookies look fantastic and it’s so much nicer than Store-bought candy. I’d hate to think some people would be nervous about them
EDIT
I realize now that trunk or treat is some kind of trade show like event.
I think it’s appropriate for a business to hand those out. I’ve picked up glassine bags of food at a conference from the booths in the Expo hall.
These would’ve been gone in 5 minutes at the trunk or treat by me. Very weird. They look great!
Good rad delicious
So nice of you!
These look amazing! I would have taken 10!!
I wouldve took 5. I loveeeee me some cookies.
You would’ve had to stop me from taking too many lol. They look awesome
Cookies with hydrogen peroxide (3rd pic) devious trick.
Sketchy!
This is very thoughtful!
My little one has a severe egg allergy so even though we’d love to try them, we wouldn’t be able to chance him having a reaction.
And if I ate it in front of him he’d be so bummed out lol.
Can I have some ? omg
I wonder if it was your salesmanship? Was your display not enticing? Did you keep them in those mouthwash boxes? Maybe donate them to homeless shelters/food bank/pantry? Aw I would’ve gotten some if I was there
These look amazing! I would’ve loved to be a trick or treater of yours!
These look delicious!
I would’ve left with a bunch!
>Even though nobody wanted my cookies during the trunk or treat
Ok, what?!
When i saw your pics i was like i would only have trouble deciding between Choc Chip and Brownie.
Lol. Like who would not take these cookies?? And you individually wrapped them and everything. You did good. People are weird. and dumb haha
I wish I could come there 😭
Unfortunately because of the news no one will take home cooked baked goods.
Ps the only person ever poisoned on halloween was done by their dad
Some people are very suspicious on ‘treats’ that don’t come from a factory, securely packaged. I’d also offer some commercial ‘treats’ so those people can opt out of your home cooking, rather than accept it and then throw it away
I always loved Halloween growing up, but we don’t celebrate it where I come from so I never got to trick or trunk.
Trick or treat?
Do i get one
Oo whats trunk or treat?
Great presentation
Where’s the razor blades?
It was a nice gesture but I’m not surprised that parents don’t let their kids have home baked goods from a stranger.
Yum! Those cookies are going to be a hit
I’m thinking of giving out canned food.
When I was a kid, we would always have to toss out anything that was homemade from our bags. Mostly for safety reasons. I wouldn’t take it personally, they look delicious.
