Buying Guide
Who doesn’t love cookies? Perfect for care packages or a treat to bring to the office, cookie tins are always a welcome gift. There are so many cookies and assortments on the market, there truly is something for everyone.
While the sweet treats themselves are the star attraction when you’re buying a cookie tin, the design of the tin is part of the appeal. Look for a pretty tin that will be a nice addition to a table — or a familiar classic that everyone will recognize.
Speaking of classics, cookie tins are a great way to order a batch of your favorite cookies, such as shortbread or butter cookies.
Food products are not usually eligible for returns, so look into reviews of the seller’s packaging and shipping record. While flaky, buttery cookies are delicious, they also tend to crumble easily if they aren’t packaged carefully. The same product could be available from a different vendor who may have a better track record with packing and shipping the product carefully.
Be sure to take a moment to carefully review your final order before confirming its purchase. This is especially important if you or someone who will be partaking in the sweet treats has food allergies.
What to Look For
- Keep in mind that high-quality chocolate melts at a lower temperature than most American milk chocolate, and as such, cookies with this ingredient could melt in shipping.
- While some cookies don’t have any gluten or nuts in their ingredients, there is still a chance the manufacturing facility had trace amounts in their assembly lines. Check this if you’re buying for someone with a nut allergy or celiac disease.

The biscuit tin originated in England as part of the 1861 Licensed Grocer Act, which allowed groceries to be packaged and sold individually. The first decorated cookie tin was used by Huntley & Palmer in 1868 and resembled a small table.
While printing directly on the tin-plated steel had become commonplace, the real breakthrough in decorated cookie tin production was the discovery of offset lithographic printing. The offset lithographic process involves using a sheet of rubber to transfer a pattern painted on an ink stone to other surfaces, such as metal or porcelain.
