Baseball Season is BACK!

So happy to welcome back baseball. This spring has been busy here at the Cooperstown Cookie Company.  Our new Camden Yards Stadium tin has been a big hit with Orioles fans. This tin joins the popular Wrigley Field, Fenway Park, Vintage Yankee Stadium and Cooperstown/Doubleday Field tins.  Through April 10, we’re running a special, filling the stadium tins with bite-sized Bunts, and a peanut butter filled chocolate cap. What a great way to start of the season.

Last week, I was on the Syracuse, NY based WCNY Connected, where I got to chat about how the company started, our great tasting baseball cookies and the new baseball season. You can watch the clip.

And, our friends at the Food Network re-aired the Unwrapped feature on the Cooperstown Cookie Company. Every time this episode airs, we make new baseball cookie fans. I love it!  Catch it on YouTube, or see it when it airs again on April 8 at 11:30 pm ET/PT and April 9 at 2:30 am ET/PT.

We’re running a special on our large Tin of Bunts, our delicious all-natural, bite-sized baseball cookies. Tins come emblazoned with the name and logo of your favorite MLB team.  Regular Price $25.99, now save $7.00 The sale price is just $18.99.

For the Padres opening day in San Diego, corporate staff are enjoying treats from the Cooperstown Cookie Company.  The New York Yankees will serve 1200 Yankees Baseball Cookie Bunt Packs at its Welcome Home Opening Day fundraiser.   We continue to add to the list of retailers carrying our baseball cookies around the country. Publishers Clearing House is featuring our stadium tins in its new catalog, and the Vermont Country Store is featuring stadium tins and Bag of Bunts in its catalogs and retail stores.

We are the featured Gourmet Giveaway at The Nibble for the week of April 5-12.  And, the fun web site Tailgating Ideas wrote a great review of the Cooperstown Cookie Company: “Although The Hall of Fame may be the most famous thing in Cooperstown to baseball fans, to tailgaters, the Cooperstown Cookie Company may be the most delicious.”

We love hearing from customers, let me know how you like to enjoy Cooperstown Cookie Company treats and cookies. We’ve had several orders this week for 20+ Baseball Cookie Bunt Packs and Ballpark Bunt Boxes. People are serving them up at baseball parties, team celebrations, and just watching the game with friends and family. Fun ideas!

Enjoy baseball!

Best,
