I used to pick up a whole carton of chocolate chip cookies every Christmas, and they were the most welcome gifts I ever gave. After we left Woodlawn, it was difficult for us to order them, so I forgot how magically good they were. UNTIL TODAY. I went to our Jiffy Mart on Rt 30 in Hampstead, and there were my most favorite cookies in the world. I saw you had moved locations, and then saw the web site. This must be my lucky day!

THANK YOU for keeping the cookies just the way they are. All pure natural ingredients, just as I would make in my own kitchen. I am thrilled to know I can find them close to home. Your cookies are the very best, bar none!

Thanks for the cookies. They were great! I have been trying to watch what I eat, but I was unable to resist the cookies. I've only had these cookies a few times before and had forgotten how much like home-made they are. I shared them with all the guys in my company and they did not last very long. Thery were all asking who baked the cookies. A lot of the soldiers in the company are not from the Baltimore area and are not familiar with Otterbein's Bakery. I don't think some of them believed that they were not home-made.

Thanks again from all of us in Alpha Company, 450th Civil Affairs Battalion (Airborne) for the great cookies. Things like these make us feel a little closer to home.

I am TOTALLY obsessed with your cookies!!!
Since picking up my first mini-bag at the Royal Farms store on my way to work, I now find I MUST pick up a package every single day.  If there is the rare day that I don't stop there for coffee and my cookies, I miss them sooooooooo much, especially in the afternoon when my students have left for the day and I'm in my classroom catching up on paperwork.  That is when they soothe me most often!

Thank you so much for making such a quality product at a price I can afford. You help make my day a lot "sweeter."  Keep up the great work.

Just wanted to say how much I like your cookies.
They are the best store bought I've ever had!

I wanted to write and tell you about my first time experience with your company's delicious cookies.

My family and I stayed in Ocean City, MD recently for one night. We stopped by the Royal Farms store a few blocks from our hotel to pick up a few items for dinner. I stopped by the Otterbein's cookie display and looked through the selection deciding which kind to pick out or if I should forgo my frugal ways and buy them. As I was perusing a lady sitting nearby stocking the shelf told me "You don't want to buy them." Curious, I asked "Why?" She smiled and went on to tell me "They are so good, they are addicting. You won't eat another brand of cookie. I love them."

I thought to myself "A cookie can be that good?" I went for the challenge of curiosity and my craving for a nice chocolate chip cookie to treat myself and the kids. We went to the beach for an hour after the store trip, came back and I opened the bag tasting the first cookie. "Wow!" I thought to myself after the first bite. That lady was right! I gave one to my son and offered one to the rest of the family exclaiming how good these cookies are. That bag was gone in less than twenty minutes! Needless to say I just had to go back to the store and get another bag. I wish I could've stocked up on those cookies to take back to Pennsylvania with me, but I didn't get a chance to. Meanwhile, I still have one cookie left and will be savoring and remembering that marvelous home made taste until I can order some and surprise the kids with them. I hope no one catches me eating the last cookie.

Thanks for the tasteful addiction Otterbein!

My brother moved to the Glenville NY area many years ago, but continued to long for your unique sugar cookies. As a special treat to him and his kids (who also love the cookies ), I would take a case to him whenever I went to visit, having picked them up from your bakery in Baltimore. It was a great family occasion when all three of his kids would come over to his house and the bags of cookies would be distributed.

It remains that great an occasion today. This is the first time that I had them mailed - because now I usually fly up there. So, you can see that it is a real relief to find, through your graciousness, that I can continue to do that!

God bless you in your continued service with those great cookies. I hope this story helps to bring home the special importance of them to some of your customers for half a century.

With this praise comes a suggestion and a complaint.
The suggestion: Are you ever going to make peanut butter cookies?
The complaint: Package free dumbbells/running shoes/jump ropes/ect. with the cookies to help me work off all the delicious cookie calories I have taken in from your exquisite, mouth watering cookies.

I moved to South Baltimore 5 years ago and discovered these little gems at the Metro on Fort Avenue (by-the-way, not on the list for locations to purchase your products. I also found them in the gift store at the St. Agnes Hospital. Much to my delight of the friend I was visiting there). I am simply your biggest fan! You make your cookies exactly the way I like them, thin and crispy! A thick cake-like cookie shall NEVER pass these lips. They don't come any better than yours.

Thanks for making them.

I just visited your website. Our family loves your cookies and I have so many fond memories of visiting your bakery when I was in high school and stayed at my girlfriend's house in Northwood. Your chocolate chip cookies are the best and I don't have to bake them. Keep up the good work. I wish you were still in Northeast Baltimore.

I love your ginger cookies! They are especially good with vanilla ice cream, caramel sauce and whipped cream. Thank you.

Thank you very much! I can't wait for the chocolate chip cookies to arrive!

I was recently in my hometown of Baltimore, MD. While having lunch at Edmart Deli I discovered your cookies on the shelf. I could tell just by LOOKING AT THEM that these were special cookies. I immediately bought a bag of the chocolate chip. Well... let me say this... I was ASTOUNDED by these cookies! These could perhaps be the best store-bought cookies I have ever experienced.

I feel you have totally captured what is the ultimata homemade chocolate chip cookie in a bag! Thin and crispy, buttery and perfectly salted. It is as if they were actually made at home, fresh from the oven.

I look forward to treating my friends to your cookies and they, I am certain, will be mailing in for more.

Thanks for the best sugar cookies anywhere!! My father would always be one of those people standing in line waiting for these. He worked at the Parkville post office and would go down after work to get them. When he came home he hid them and would not let us touch them until Christmas. We used to think that he got them from some woman on his postal route because they always tasted homemade. They were always a treat!! Now that I am older it's nice to see I can purchase them at my local supermarket. Thanks again for an awesome cookie and keep baking!!!

Hi! I just came back from my visit to Baltimore (my hometown) where I JUST discovered your incredibly delicious sugar and chocolate chip cookies!! Amazing!! I mean AMAZING!! They are exactly like the crisp homemade cookies my aunt Sophie from Philadelphia used to bake!! (I always looked forward to her visiting and bring a batch of her cookies.) That was then... and NOW I have found your incredible cookies... OTTERBEINS... and I am AMAZED how unbelievably great these cookies are!! And thank goodness we can mail-order them! Again, my hat's off to you, Otterbeins, for making the world's finest chocolate chip cookies.
