Shortbread is in our DNA. Also, real creamery butter. And pure, premium ingredients. And a borderline obsession with doing things right. Mary’s legacy started back in 1981, and we’re here and happy to keep it going strong one small-batch cookie at a time.
What's InsideBut don't take our word for it…
from 1075 reviewsOur family loves this shortbread! As far as we are concerned it is the best EVER! What was ever so nice was the 45% off for the 45 years in business sale! Thank you Mary MacLeod's. The shortbread came well packed and it was not crushed or broken in transport. Wonderful Easter gift for family, and even purchased one for me to enjoy.
Best shortbreads I have ever tasted! I ordered several to be given as gifts only because I had a 4 quart jar of Chocolate Crunch opened while I wrapped!
These are great as gifts, if they last long enough for you to wrap them!
I recently purchased two of these jars with the Chocolate Crunch selection and find they’re a great way to display these fabulous cookies! But take a picture as soon as they arrive, because an empty jar isn’t the same!
I now understand why these are so popular! I bought the large jar for a cookie tray for a baby shower and they were a hit. Such a great, buttery, cookie. The only issue with the mixed jar, is that there will be some transfer of crumbs (if looks are an issue) but they tasted great.
A wonderful collection of handmade cookies.Thankyou
I have been ordering these jars of cookies for years. Always fresh, and the jars are utilitarian.
Original and Chiclate chunck flavours- they don’t often go on sale but the are literally amazing! I buy them when I have accrued points so I can buy extra- they freeze well and for all my GF friends- these are epic
I’m actually addicted to these cookies 🍪 they are the ultimate best shortbread cookies I’ve ever had!!! NEVER stop making these 😁
Makes for a perfect storage container for more delectable treats! 😊
The cookies are delicous! They melt in my mouth, I love the chocolate, it's not too overpowering. Very happy with my order!
