With a son serving a two-year mission in Boston for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Matt Cutler, owner of Utah’s Chocolate Shipped Cookies, knows the difficulty of being separated from a loved one. To help bridge the distance for others in a similar situation, his bakery is offering customized cookie care packages that can be shipped to missionaries nationwide.
There are more than 50,000 members of the Church of Jesus Christ, commonly referred to as the Mormon church, serving full-time missions around the globe, and most are under the age of 25. For some, this is the longest amount of time that they have spent away from home. And while they may call or text home weekly if technology allows, the separation can be challenging.
“We live for those weekly calls, and we really miss him in our home,” said Cutler, whose 19-year-old son left in July for two years of service in the Boston, Massachusetts mission.
Cutler recently shipped two dozen cookies to his son to share with his fellow missionaries and said that his bakery is proud to offer this service to other families with cookie care packages designed especially for church service missionaries.
“We find out what their favorites are and send them a cookie assortment that suits their tastes with a customized message,” said Cutler.
His company is offering a 25% discount with the online coupon code MISSIONARY. Chocolate Shipped Cookies’ selection includes lemon meltaways, snickerdoodles, glazed sugar, brownie mint, peanut butter chip, and the classic milk chocolate chip. Cutler’s decades of retail cookie baking experience, paired with a state-of-the-art oven, have allowed him to engineer cookies that stay soft and moist through cross-country deliveries.
“We pride ourselves on cookies that taste as fresh upon delivery as they did when they came out of the oven,” said Cutler.
Cutler credits his mom for his baking success. When Cutler was young, she sold homemade cookies and bread to help support his family. Cutler now shares her recipes far and wide with mail order cookies for corporate gifts or for loved ones living far from home (kids in college, grandparents, military members, friends having birthdays, etc.)
