You may remember that back before Valentines Day I did a review for Harvard Sweet Boutique. We really enjoyed all the yummy goodies we received from there and I couldn’t promote them enough. So imagine how excited I got when I was offered a recipe from the owner? I have tasted Susan George’s wonderful sweets and I knew a cookie recipe from her would be amazing and I get to share it with you. What could be better?
Harvard Sweet Boutique was founded in January, 2007, by Susan George. Her passion for fine baking and recognition of the need for unique gift alternatives helped to mold the idea for the company. They have gifts for any occasion including Birthdays and Weddings. They also have gifts for all occasions, meaning they are not themed, and are perfect for Easter, Retirement Parties, and “I know you got a bad hair cut but here is some chocolate” moments. If you do not want to gift these out ( and quite frankly I wouldn’t blame you in the least) then you may want to try out their Sweet Treat of the Month club. For $20.00 a month you can receive either cookies, brownies, or if you are really adventurous you can choose the all occasion package. Regardless of which on you choose you are sure to enjoy it!
