Millies Cookies - a years worth of cookies £35

Cannot seem to find a previous post about this.

Sadly there is not a great deal of info on their website but I saw a sign in the shop today which advertised a box of 12 cookies per month for 12 months for only £35 - a great saving if you usually buy these anyway (usually priced at £5.99 per box of 12)

Hope someone can make good use of it anyway :beer:

  • 12 cookies in a month? Yeah right, 30 cookies in a month is pushing it. 60 sounds about right :D
  • Thats quite a nice offer isnt it?
    And 144 of their cookies for £35 is a good deal too.

    Wish there was more info on how it worked.

    I like the idea, but anyone who thinks that 144 cookies will last a year is crazy.

    2 months, maybe...

    I think you pay £35 for a gift voucher that entitles the holder to 12 half price gift boxes over a year, i remember reading a sign as i walked past a few weeks ago.

    I thought thats daft as there is always vouchers around for 241 boxes etc, so I arent paying for the privilege.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!

    Thank you very much for recipe made them this morning and they are delicious, don't think they will last long the way the kids and hubby are going ! I had to modify slightly and used soft brown sugar instead of muscovado and i used a packet of ASDA white choc chunks as that was all i had in.:T
  • :D

    glad you liked them
    using the muscovado makes them slightly more chewy and gives a deper flavour, but i have used soft brown myself too when i use the white chunks as its a bit overpowering for the white chocolate

    you can add whatever you want, children like smarties etc same as millies:D
