What Is Soul Snacks Cookies?

Updated

Soul Snacks Cookies is a Bronx-based cookie company that sells small-batch, made-to-order cookies online and ships them nationwide. The site is a direct-to-consumer storefront combined with a brand story: you can browse flavors, order boxes of 12, 24, or 36 cookies, and read about the founder and the company's Bronx roots. It's for anyone looking to buy cookies as a gift or for themselves, including people who need gluten-free or vegan options.

What the site actually offers

The homepage is built around three things: shopping, story, and a rotating flavor lineup.

  • Cookie boxes in three sizes. Boxes come in 12, 24, or 36 cookies. You can mix flavors within an order.
  • A $12 sampler. The site explicitly frames this as a low-risk entry point, noting that "$27 is a lot to spend on a cookie you have never tasted."
  • Gluten-free and vegan options. These are available on the same order as standard cookies.
  • Nationwide shipping. Cookies are baked to order and leave the Bronx within two business days.
  • Free shipping over $45.

How ordering works

The site lays out a three-step process:

  1. Pick flavors and a size. Choose from the year-round lineup or seasonal/rotating flavors, then select 12, 24, or 36. You can mix as many flavors as you like.
  2. Check out. No account is required. Gluten-free and vegan options can be added in the same order.
  3. Baking and shipping. Your order goes into the oven after you place it and ships from the Bronx within two business days.

What it costs

Prices shown on the site are per box, not per cookie:

Product Box size Price
Down Home Double Chocolate Chip 36 cookies $76.99
Cappuccino Cookie 24 cookies $51.99
Coconut Milk Chocolate Toffee 12 cookies $26.99
Chunked Up Chocolate Walnut 12 cookies $26.99

The $12 sampler is the cheapest listed way to try the cookies. Free shipping applies over $45, which most full-size boxes exceed.

The flavor lineup

The site describes a "year-round seven" that stays in stock, plus seasonal flavors and a rotating "guest flavor" that changes through the year — once it's gone, it's gone until it returns. Visitors can vote on which flavor comes next, and the mailing list at the bottom of the page is where the winner's drop date is announced.

Flavors named on the page include Classic Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Lovers, Double Chocolate, Lemon Bliss, Maple Pecan, and Oatmeal Raisin.

The brand behind it

Soul Snacks was founded in 1996 and bakes in a South Bronx kitchen. The founder's story is a notable part of the site: he played drums for Nile Rodgers and Chic for nineteen years, and also for Aretha Franklin, Sting, Paul Simon, and Stevie Wonder. The company frames itself around the idea that "great tasting cookies can do great things," with a stated focus on creating opportunities.

Who it's for

  • Gift buyers — the site positions boxes as "great for gifting" and ships nationwide.
  • First-time buyers — the $12 sampler exists specifically to lower the risk of trying an unfamiliar brand.
  • People with dietary needs — gluten-free and vegan options are available without a separate order.
  • Anyone outside the Bronx — everything ships, so local pickup isn't required.

If you want to know exactly what's in stock right now or which seasonal flavor is currently available, check the shop page directly, since the rotation changes through the year.
