Geoff & Drews, Gourmet Cookies and Brownies- Perfect for the holidays!

Cooookies... They are everywhere right now.  Everywhere I look there seems to be a plate of cookies just waiting to be devoured- it must be the holidays huh?  Given this delicious state of affairs lately, I was thrilled to accept an invitation to a cookie info and tasting session that was held last night at the Harvard Square Clover.  

The event featured the cookies and brownies of Geoff & Drew's, a locally based cookie gift company started in 2001.  Of course, high end cookie gifts wasn't the way that Geoff & Drew's began.  Started by four friends, their original idea was to delicious fresh warm cookies and milk to area college students needing a break from their studies.  Unfortunately, the logistics of this idea didn't work out as well for them, however they knew they had a good thing going with their cookies.  And so- the gift cookie business for Geoff & Drew's was born.  Today, they offer at least four different types of cookies including chocolate chunk, double fudge, oatmeal with cranberries, and white chocolate cranberry.  Each flavor has a delicate flavor obviously showcasing the quality real ingredients used.  Every bite tastes fully of butter and sugar and all of those wonderful ingredients that make up a delightful cookie.  However they don't stop there- Geoff & Drew's also makes a killer brownie! I indulged in a piece of a toffee brownie last night- and it was absolutely amazing.  Honestly- I don't think I can say too much more about it other than that they are outrageously delicious!

Geoff & Drew's has a great selection of Gingerbread Men and all of their gift boxes are artfully presented thereby making great gifts.  I can see these going over well with teachers, babysitters, coaches, etc.  AND just to "sweeten" the pot a bit, Geoff & Drew's has extended a 20% discount for you fantastic A Boston Food Diary readers!  When placing your order use discount code "Blog20" to receive a discount on your order (sales items not included).

Too bad I wasn't able to attend this event, I would've loved to meet you and other bloggers! I've never actually heard of Geoff and Drew's before until recently, and it seems like everyone raves about their cookies so now I want to try 'em myself!
