The Good Word: Cool Hunting

Hey, hey! The oh-so-sleek and impossibly "in the know" website, Cool Hunting, just featured Butter + Love. Take a look...

(Click here to be directed to the article.)

Overall it was a great review - but in particular, they liked our Salted Honey Lavender Shortbread, hailing it a, "... a classic, well-executed iteration based on the namesake ingredient." And furthermore, "The rich cookie was a perfect balance of soft and crispy with a sprinkling of salt and sugar on top." 


Well, we do aim to please...


If you haven't heard of it, Cool Hunting is a fantastic site known for curating the very best in style, design, food, and travel. I would highly recommend you add it to your daily blog list.

The Good Word: Time Out New York

While flipping through my weekly issue of Time Out New York the other day, I spied this! Butter + Love's jam sandwich cookies - getting a little bit more editorial love, this time in the comments section of the printed magazine.

The B+L Gift Guide 2011

For some reason, I am more aware of "Gift Guides" this year than I ever have been. Perhaps it's because I am now the owner of a small business and being featured in one can make for a bump up in business, but man 'o man, are they everywhere! And they're pretty fun to look through, too. It's cool to see what products people or publications are drawn to, and I always love it when small or local businesses are chosen.

So, in honor of this Season of Giving, I've put together a Butter + Love Gift Guide, for the whimsical, cheeky, and fabulous baker in your life...

The Good Word: Just Desserts NYC

Thank you, kindly Blondie & Brownie!

The lovely ladies of JustDessertsNYC recently featured our Jam Sandwich cookies on their blog - just in time for Cookie Season... Ahem, I mean, the Holiday Season. Not only did they love our cookies, but they even chose us as one of the "Top Five of November!"

If you're not familiar with their blog - you should be! When it comes to desserts, these girls mean business. They make a point to hunt down the best dessert in town - as well as a host of other fabulous cities! Whether you're looking for cupcakes, pie, ice cream, cookies, or cake - this blog is a terrific reference for finding the Crème de la Crème!

The Good Word: Time Out New York

Fancy that! Our Jam Sandwich Cookies are being featured in Time Out New York's Holiday Gift Guide - specifically, in the "50 Food & Drink Gifts for $10 or Less" category. They list us as being available at The Brooklyn Flea on Saturdays and Sundays starting November 26th, however we're still finalizing dates on that. Make sure to check back here for Market dates - as well as additional Market Menu items. Every week we like to add a new item or two, you know, just to keep things interesting.

In addition to selling at The Flea, you can always find us at one of our fine purveyors:

The Greene Grape Provisions

Choice Greene

Brooklyn Victory Garden

Stinky Bklyn

Brooklyn Farmacy & Soda Fountain

collaboration: samplrs

We are pleased as punch to have been asked to participate in the November delivery for Samplrs, a fantastic, up and coming company that delivers some of the best local and artisan foods to their subscribers.

As you know we normally package our Jam Sandwich cookies in two separate packages, but we decided to create a "Sampler Box" so that Samplrs customers could enjoy a taste of all four of our delicious flavors! 

As it turns out, we are so pleased with how these citron-colored beauties came out that we just may start offering them via our website in the very near future. Can't you see these as the perfect addition to a gift basket? And how fantastic (and yummy!) would they be as a stocking stuffer? Oh, the possibilities...
