The Decadent Cookies At The Cookie Crate In Tennessee Are Sure To Satisfy Your Sweet Tooth

Indulging in a delicious cookie treat is an enjoyable experience as old as time. There's something about a warm, chewy, perfectly sugared treat that adds an element of fun and happiness to a lazy afternoon. The Cookie Crate, located in Johnson City, Tennessee, has recently expanded from its initial delivery-only model to a brick-and-mortar store in the heart of the eastern state. Learn more about this locally owned business below, and perhaps consider supporting on your own. Is there any gift better than cookies? We're going to go with...nope.

The Cookie Crate's mission is to "spread joy all over the US through delicious, freshly made cookies," and we have to say: they've achieved their goal. Every box is intentionally packed and personalized for each gifter, making it easy to send something sweet in the mail to your loved ones.

Couple Jon and Maegen Mills are at the helm of this sugar-centric business model, and they've built their grassroots gifting model from a single-family operation to a team of seven in Johnson City. What began as a cookie and ice cream sandwich food truck has since matured into a full-blown local experience.

Inside the new Cookie Crate space, located on Market Street, you'll find a light and bright atmosphere artfully designed to elevate the myriad of cookies on display. With a selfie wall and a rotating menu of specials, the Cookie Crate is well on its way to becoming a local must-visit.

If you're looking to order online, you can choose to "build your own dozen," which gives you the option to choose from flavors like chocolate chip and maple pecan for your gift box. The peanut butter cookies have received rave reviews, and a sprinkles-studded Oreo birthday blast cookie looks like a sugary dream.

The Cookie Crate also makes it a point to curate seasonal specials. Expect pink and red Valentine's Day packages, and warm flavors like cinnamon and nutmeg come the chill of autumn.

Have you tried out the Cookie Crate? Will it be on your list to send to a dear friend this coming year?
