“C” Is For (The Best) Cookie In Brantford

The smell of freshly baked cookies is enough to bring us back to the days of growing up with little more to care about than exactly how many cookies we’d be allowed to eat. Our lives have gotten a bit more complicated these days, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t take some time to indulge in our favourite sweets while supporting our local bakers – without even turning on the oven! Pour a glass of milk and enjoy our recommendations for where to get the most delicious cookies in Brantford.

Sweet Bakery | 403 Fairview Dr., Brantford | 519-750-4461

Probably one of Brantford’s best known bakeries, Sweet Bakery’s cookies are a local favourite! We love the swirly, rosette-design Whipped Shortbread Cookies and owner Stacey Bester’s beloved Sprinkle Cookies, a replica of her childhood favourite cookies from White’s Bakery.

The Bun Shoppe Bakery | 10 King George Rd., Brantford | 519-756-1121

If you haven’t discovered this local gem before, you need to take a trip to The Bun Shoppe Bakery.

Their traditional Empire Cookies – a shortbread sandwich cookie filled with raspberry jam and topped with royal icing – are delightful!
