I saw these on the E! channel and I think they are so cool, but to be honest $65.00??? They are nice, but the rest of the cookies are just as good than some that I've seen here.

Cool! Can we see them too?

do you have a link or a picture we can look at?

Opps I forgot the link, here it is.

I saw them on "E" the other night when they were talking about Oscar night and how they get so many orders every year for these cookies. They look awesome!

angie

they must be....

Yes they are

Love their easter eggs!

Apparently, there is a topic about cookies and pricing...maybe $4 for a cookie is not unreasonable:

In a former job of mine I had to travel back and forth to NYC a lot! I visited Eleni's store-front and it's so cute! It's in such a neat building....her store-front is very small when you walk in, but there's a HUGE kitchen just past the counter with walk-in ovens! I bought a tin of her NYC cookies and although they are REALLY cute and packaged so darn cool (I still have the packaging), they're not the best tasting. Don't get me wrong, they don't taste bad, just not what I was expecting. They're very similar to a nilla wafer, but crunchier. They are also VERY small....about the size of a nilla wafer also! She had larger ones for sale, but the ones in the tins are very small. She has such a neat business!

Did you see how many huge corporate cookies she has made??? I bet those weren't cheap! Wow, to be a famous cookie decorator *dreaming*

...and her cancer awareness t-shirts are sooo cute!

hey those are pretty neat, but a little pricey.

these are cute!!
has this site been on foodnetwork too? i think i remember seeing something with this name before. i should go visit, i work close by.

my husband bought me a tin of Eleni's cookies for valentines day! i make cookies, too and he knew that i always wanted to try them. they were good - they DO taste like "nilla wafers"! but yikes - he paid about $35 in shipping charges to have a tin of 8 cookies sent to me.

Yes, they were featured on the FoodNetwork a long time ago....that's where I first saw them and went to visit! They're awesome!

Looky here, I can actually bite the head off of my favorite actor............it's the new adult "animal cracker."

Eleni's success is huge - started out decorating at her dining room table and became a multi-millionaire by the age of 40 I think they are the cutest little things ever, though I wouldn't order again. I treated myself to some once, and I agree - they were a little on the crisp side. They reminded me of the cookies you get in the big blue round tins during the holidays ... sometimes they're shaped like pretzels with coarse sugar sprinkled on top. I tried passing some out - and a couple of people actually took a bite and gave them back to me .

It's funny - you've got Eleni's in New York charging $65 for a handful of 2" cookies in a tin, and then you've got Monaco Baking in California cranking out jumbo 5" cookies at $1.50 wholesale!

Pretty nice. I couldn't find any of her cakes though; is it just me?

Neiman-Marcus is carrying Eleni's cookie gift tins now which likely has helped to increase her sales to the high-end market which is less concerned with cost and more with novelty. She's a smart businesswoman! If any of you are familiar with sprinkles cupcakes their relationship with Williams-Sonoma has done the same for their product also.

Do you know who makes the sugar cookies for Williams Sonoma?

I think I just found the answer to my own question - it's Monaco Baking ...

I actually thought of the stars faces on cookies a long time ago, but was concerned about selling them. I wonder if she has to have the actors permission to sell these? Its like profiting from someones fame, I know you can do political stuff, but was curious about the stars. Never really researched it completely. Anyone know?

I was curious so I purchased a tin from Eleni's a few months ago for my daughter (we call her cookie monster because she looooves cookies) and even she wouldn't eat them! They were cute but they tasted kind of stale.

Do they have Johnny Depp? I always said I would just like to eat him up
