Frequently Asked Questions

Do you bake your cookies in an inspected kitchen?

Yes, we do.

Do you have a store or can I buy cookies at the kitchen?

Sable Shortbread is located in Kentville, NS. You can buy our shortbread cookies online and we are expanding into retail stores.

Where can I buy Sable Shortbread cookies?

We are at farmers markets, fairs and festivals every weekend, and we publish a calendar on our website and post to Facebook and Instagram so you’ll always know where to find us. Plus, you can buy our shortbread cookies at the Sable Shop, online and in retail stores near you.

Are the cookies nut-free?

Our kitchen is not nut-free. We make some cookies with nuts in them.

Do you have an allergen list?

We list the ingredients in our cookies on our Ingredients page. There you will find information about allergens.

Do you make any gluten-free cookies?

We make a few varieties of gluten-friendly cookies. They are suitable for gluten-free diets, but as we are not a gluten free kitchen they may not be suitable for those who are celiac. We try to rely on the recipe formulation to make these gluten free cookies rather than using gluten free flour mixes. This makes them delectable choices for anyone who likes shortbread.

Do you make any vegan/plant-based cookies?

We make at least one vegan flavour most weeks, but if you want to be sure we have some for you, just let us know and we’ll bake up a batch and bring it to a market! We are currently developing more plant-based recipes to tempt your taste buds.

Do you make any cookies that are suitable for diabetics?

Our shortbread cookies are lower in sugar than most shortbread, with an average of about 5 g of sugar per cookie. We don’t use any artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes in our shortbread because we have not yet formulated a recipe that meets our exacting standards for flavour and texture.

How long do the cookies keep?

Your shortbread is best eaten as quickly as possible after purchase (then you’ll need more sooner). Seriously though, the shortbread keeps extremely well when stored in a cool, dark place – up to 6 months.

Do you ship cookies?

We ship within Canada and you can find out more about shipping cookies in our online store.
