Canadian cookies and cakes bring back the lunchbox, coffee-break and holiday moments Canadians grow up with, and most of them never reach US store shelves. Our range covers creme sandwich cookies, soft-baked favorites, chocolate marshmallow classics, tea biscuits, snack cakes and crackers, all imported from Canada and delivered to your door anywhere in the United States.
Shop Canadian Cookies and Cakes by Style
With hundreds of products in this collection, the easiest way to shop is by the kind of cookie you're craving. Here are the styles our customers reach for first, plus a few picks to start with.
Maple Creme Cookies
The leaf-shaped maple sandwich cookie is about as Canadian as a snack gets, and it's the first box many expats order.
Chocolate Marshmallow Classics
Soft marshmallow, a cookie base and a chocolatey shell make these a nostalgic treat for every generation.
Christie Favorites
In Canada, household names like Oreo and Chips Ahoy! carry the Christie name, alongside Canadian originals you won't find in the US. Browse the full Christie cookie range or start here:
Soft-Baked and Lunchbox Packs
Soft, cake-like cookies in single-serve pouches are a Canadian lunchbox staple. Most come from Dare, one of the country's best-known family bakeries.
Tea-Time Biscuits
Crisp, lightly sweet biscuits made for dunking in coffee or tea.
Canadian Snack Cakes
Quebec's Vachon bakery has made individually wrapped snack cakes since the 1930s, and they remain one of the most requested Canadian treats. Find the full selection in our Pastries & Cakes collection, along with Canadian butter tarts.

How to Choose Canadian Cookies That Arrive the Way You Remember
How a cookie is built tells you a lot about how well it travels. That matters when your order crosses a border and several states to reach you, so it's worth factoring into what you pick and when you order.
- Dry biscuits and shortbread: The toughest travelers, with a long shelf life. The trade-off is that they're less indulgent than coated or filled styles.
- Creme sandwich cookies: Sturdy and easy to stack in a care package. The creme filling can soften if the box sits somewhere hot.
- Soft-baked cookies: Tender texture, often in individual pouches that keep them fresh. They can get squashed in a tightly packed box.
- Chocolate-coated and marshmallow cookies: The most nostalgic picks, and the most heat-sensitive. Warm weather can soften them or leave harmless white streaks (chocolate bloom) on the coating.
- Snack cakes: Soft and individually wrapped. Like coated cookies, they are best ordered outside the hottest weeks.
In short, if you're ordering in midsummer, build your box around biscuits and creme cookies and save the chocolate and marshmallow favorites for spring, fall or winter.
Canadian vs US Versions: What's Actually Different
Many Canadian cookies share a brand name with something you can buy in the US, but the box in Canada is often different. Some flavors are sold only in Canada (maple creme is the classic example), and recipes and pack sizes can vary from their American cousins. If maple is the draw, our maple products keep the theme going beyond the cookie aisle.
Canadian packaging is bilingual, in English and French, and reading it takes a little practice:
- Best before date: Look for "best before / meilleur avant." When a year is shown it comes first, followed by a two-letter bilingual month code (JA for January, AL for April, DE for December), then the day.
- Sweeteners: "Glucose-fructose" on a Canadian ingredient list is the same thing Americans know as high-fructose corn syrup.
- Weights: Sizes are listed in grams first, so a 300 g box is about 10.6 oz.
Pack Sizes, Case Packs and Getting the Best Value
Canadian cookies are sized in metric, so pack weights can look unfamiliar next to US boxes. As a quick guide, 240 g is about 8.5 oz, 300 g is about 10.6 oz and 350 g is about 12.3 oz. Compare the price per ounce rather than per box, and match the format to how quickly you'll eat them.
- Single box (200 to 350 g): Best for trying a new flavor or adding variety to a care package.
- 12-count cases and multi-pouch packs: Best for lunchboxes, office snack drawers and busy households.
- 18- to 40-count boxes and megapacks: Best for parties, classrooms and Canada Day gatherings.
In short, buy single boxes to explore and cases for the favorites you already know you'll finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these the real Canadian versions of each cookie?
Yes. Every product in this collection is imported from Canada, so you get Canadian recipes, Canada-only flavors and bilingual packaging, including Christie-branded boxes that look different from their US counterparts.
Will chocolate or marshmallow cookies melt in shipping?
They can soften in hot weather, since coated and marshmallow styles are the most heat-sensitive. In summer, pair them with biscuits or creme cookies, or order them in cooler months.
Do you ship Canadian cookies and cakes to the USA?
Yes. We ship Canadian cookies and cakes to customers across the United States, as well as worldwide. A pickup address is also available if that suits you better.
How do I read the best-before date on a Canadian package?
Find "best before / meilleur avant." The year appears first if it's printed, then a two-letter bilingual month code such as JA, AL or DE, then the day of the month.
Are any of your cookies peanut-free or gluten-free?
Some are, but allergen details vary by product. Always check the product page and package label, and start with our peanut-free and gluten-free collections.
Do you sell cases for lunchboxes or gifting?
Yes. Many favorites come in 12-count cases, multi-pouch party packs or larger megapacks. These usually give the best value per ounce for families, offices and gift boxes.
