More Than Just Cookies

You’ll find plenty of reasons to linger beyond the cookie tables. The Sweet Shoppe stocks candies, breads, fudge, and peanut brittle that work well as hostess gifts or stocking stuffers. Stop by the Coffee Shoppe for homemade cinnamon rolls, sticky buns, or muffins with coffee. Pick up some Soups-To-Go for an easy dinner later in the week, or browse the Craft Shoppe for holiday gifts you won’t find at the mall.

Highlands Church choir members will perform Christmas music throughout the morning while you shop and catch up with neighbors.

Your Money Goes Local

All proceeds from the Cookie Walk support local and regional charities, so your cookie purchase does more than satisfy your sweet tooth.

Arrive Early

Doors open at 8:00 AM, but the Cookie Walk officially begins at 8:30 AM and runs until 11:00 AM or until the cookies sell out. There are no advance tickets or pre-orders, so show up early for the best selection. You can purchase up to two decorated cans per customer.

These cookies have a loyal following and tend to disappear quickly, so get there when doors open if you want first pick of the homemade holiday treats.
