These are delicious, I just wish they weren’t so expensive.
Thanks for the kind words regarding the Empire Biscuits! We can explain our prices. Shipping perishable food properly is a difficult thing. We have to make sure everything arrives in great shape. Our cost to ship to you was around $40, so on a $135 order, the cost of shipping accounts for around 30% (not even considering the cost of food, labor, utilities, and everything else businesses have to contend with).
We have to offer 'free' shipping because most people expect it nowadays. Shipping is a double edged sword because if we charged shipping - we would get complaints. Offering free shipping forces us to build some of that cost into the items and then the items are 'so expensive.' It's a truly stressful endeavor trying to walk that line.
If you like Jammie Dodgers you will love these! The fresh baked flavor stands out. Lots of jam! The icing is not too sweet, and adds a bit of flavor. Then of course the fun little gummy on top just completes it! Good luck trying to eat just one!
My husband is from Liverpool, UK, and has told me several times, a girl from Brooklyn about these biscuits so I decided to try them and OMG, I bit into a piece of heaven! Crumbly, soft, buttery, sweetness that if this was the last thing I ever ate, it would be so very worth it! They are beyond what I expected and that's why I ordered again and will continue to order ad infinitum! :-) Thanks guys, you're the best!
I loved these tasty cookies ( biscuits)!
