Sweet Sentiments

Wicked Good Cookies

The Evite. (Yawn.) The enthusiastic phone call. (Whatever.) The properly printed invitation. (Could you  just please get over yourself?)

Announcements, invites, holiday cards. It’s all become so cliché. You want creative. You want ingenuity. You want original. You want to eat, dangnabit.

Well, the next time you host a sock hop, pop a baby, score CEO, or ace your board, try this: Take a picture, come up with a line, and order a batch of custom-decorated cookies from Wicked Good Cookies in Northboro. Then mail them to your friends and family.

WGC bakes delectable specimens (with names like Pompously Peppermint, Kissed by a Brownie, and Passionately Peanut Butter) and turns your photo into the icing on a cookie. (For a real snickerdoodle, you can even have them “wickedize” your treats with a caricature based on a picture you provide.)

They’ll package singles for mailing or, for more elaborate occasions, arrange cookies in giant cookie pies, festive baskets, tins, and platters.

Cookie correspondence.

Best thing since sliced bread.
