Cookie Dough Cafe

Mail Order Cookie Dough

Monster dough is creamy trail mix cookie dough in a jar!

For all of us who are cookie dough lovers, we can now skip the baking part and just enjoy the dough.

Cookie Dough Cafe has created edible gourmet cookie dough specifically to be enjoyed unbaked. Available in pint and individual sizes, Cookie Dough Cafe uses real cookie dough ingredients, minus the eggs, and then loads the dough with chocolate chips and brand-name mix-ins like M&Ms and Oreos. Flavors include Classic Chocolate Chip, Cookies & Cream, Monster, shown above, and Naked (just the dough).

If the Cookie Dough Cafe seems vaguely familiar, it may be because you saw this women-owned business on Shark Tank.

Callie’s Charleston Biscuits

Online mail order southern ham biscuits

Callie’s Charleston Buttermilk Biscuits with Ham. Yes, please.

Southern buttermilk biscuits, ham biscuits, cheese & chive biscuits. A delivery of two dozen biscuits from Callie’s is as if a southern grandmother sent you a care package.

If you grew up in the south, you’ll understand how a good buttermilk biscuit can have a life-long hold on you. Buttery, flaky, and tender, Callie’s biscuits are almost everything you’d want a biscuit to be. Reading Callie’s ingredient list revealed a special ingredient: cream cheese.

Now, sure, if you want to make biscuits yourself Callie provided her wonderful recipe to the Washington Post: Callie’s Biscuit Recipe.

Here’s a tip. Not any flour will do. When Callie’s recipe calls for White Lily brand self-rising flour, well, good luck in finding that north of the Mason-Dixon line. For you biscuit lovers reading this, I know from first-hand experience that Kentucky biscuit makers favor Martha White’s brand self-rising flour.

But for those who want a tender biscuit without the work, Callie’s has you covered! You can order two dozen classic buttermilk biscuits or maybe their ham biscuits, which use finely chopped artisanal Virginia Country Ham, Dijon mustard butter and their signature cheese and chive biscuit.

Let’s Go Shopping!

Pricing: $40 for 2 dozen biscuits (serves 8 – 10 people), $45 for 2 dozen ham biscuits

Shipping: Ships with a reusable cooler and a gel ice pack, so 2-day shipping is pricey. $20 from NC to NY.

Let’s Go Nuts.com

Fresh Walnuts from Nuts.com

Organic, Raw, Shelled Walnuts from Nuts.com

How do you like your nuts? Fresh, of course. We mean after that. Do you want them in the shell, shelled, roasted, boiled, raw, organic, salted, unsalted, mixed, spiced, candied, chocolate enrobed? We could go on…

Nuts.com has just about any type of nut you can think of and so much more! Nut flours, nut butters, dried fruits, and an extensive selection of candies. But what’s really helpful is they let you completely customize a tray of nuts and other goodies like dried fruit (organic options too), and candies, so you can really tailor your gift to individual tastes. That’s genius!

For those looking for party favors or themed gifts, they list their candy options by color.

Let’s Go Shopping!

Pricing: It all depends on what you choose but in general expect $10 a pound (give or take) for nuts. Some candies begin as low as $4 a pound. For dried fruit, again, it depends on your selection. Expect $8 per pound (again, give or take).

Shipping: USPS, UPS and FedEx Ground Shipping options keep shipping costs reasonable

Povitica

Povitica, Croatian Dessert Bread

Povitica, a traditional Croation, walnut-filled bread

Povitica (po-vuh-teet-sa) also known as Potica (po-teet-sa) is a traditional Croatian dessert bread, rolled into layers (think of a Babka–only richer) and traditionally filled with a paste of walnuts and honey–though there are many other fillings used as well.

If you already know that, chances are it’s because you are lucky enough to have a Povitica baker in the family, and if so, you are highly opinionated as to what it should look and taste like. Our family has been blessed with two excellent Povitica bakers who can be cajoled into making at least one at Christmas. But if a Povitica craving hits between major holidays, you can order from one of the following bakeries. It won’t be like what your grandmother or mom makes (nothing ever is!), but it’ll come near to hitting the spot.

Update 2022: Since writing this post, there are even fewer places to buy a povitica online. We once listed four options, now there are only two that we are aware of. You can still depend on Strawberry Hill Bakery, and now the Vermont Country Store sells povitica too.
