A box of unwrapped cookies contains 1500 grams. For the regular Koekje-uit-Amsterdam this amounts to approximately 190 pieces and for the MINI Amsterdam to approximately 380 pieces.
The shelf life of an unopened box is up to 4 months. Once opened, preferably use up the box within a week and keep it closed as much as possible to prevent soft cookies.

The MINI-Amsterdam is only available unwrapped.
The cookies in this bio-foil can be kept until the date stated on the box, provided the bag remains tightly closed. This is 8 to 12 weeks from delivery.

HOW OUR COOKIES ARE MADE
SUPPORT FOR THE HOMELESS
Activities 2024:
The second half of 2024 in particular has not been easy for Koekje-uit-Amsterdam. Serious illness can easily mean the end of the company for a small independent entrepreneur who normally does everything alone. Fortunately, with some adjustments, work could continue as usual, mainly thanks to a team of great delivery assistants. Because this was a considerable drain on the finances, the purchase of supplies for the homeless shelter has been put on the back burner a bit.
But still, quite a lot has been done in 2024:
In total, the following items have been purchased, most of which were brought to day care center De Kloof.
39 sleeping bags
40 backpacks
4 tents
4 sets of thermal underwear
30 pairs of thermal socks
12 pairs of slippers
10 xl thick quality rain ponchos
50 thin rain ponchos
In addition, the Mobile Team of HVO-Querido was able to collect 20 backpacks filled with underwear, socks and various care products such as deodorant, wet wipes, toothpaste, etc. to distribute to people who do not come to the shelters and sleep outside.
At the Stoelenproject on Marnixstraat we brought warm socks, sleeping bags and disposable razors.
A very nice result of the events in 2024 is that Koekje-uit-Amsterdam has been receiving delivery help from a homeless (but in many ways very talented) Amsterdammer for a few hours a week since the fall. This has worked out great for both parties so far and of course it also fits in perfectly with the corporate philosophy of Koekje-uit-Amsterdam!

Activities 2022:
In the first months of 2022, we twice went shopping and cooked for 50 people who stayed in the night shelter of the Chair Project. We also brought a series of new sleeping bags and performed monthly voluntary bar services. We have purchased a series of belts for Daycare De Kloof on request.
In April we started a long-awaited job for a new Amsterdam hotel. Every week we bring there a considerable order of biscuits packed in a gift bag. Every Saturday we pack these bags with visitors to the homeless shelter Het Stoelenproject. We would like to expand this project because it suits all parties very well!
In the course of the year we will contribute where we can and will report further in the autumn!

Activities 2021:
Throughout the first four months of 2021 we have continued volunteering every other week behind the bar at the overnight shelter The Stoelenproject. In February and March bought groceries and cooked meals for around 30 people. The Stoelenproject closes it’s overnight shelter for the summer months so we will be back to help out in September.
In May and June we are working towards acquiring a supply of sleeping bags and backpacks. These items are always needed by those who are homeless in Amsterdam. We are searching for a manufacturer who is willing to make a good deal with us, hopefully at cost price. If we are successful in this before year-end we will let you know here.
Starting in the fall we are working with a new client. Together with a small team of homeless Amsterdammers we will be packaging cookie gift bags with personalised labels. This collaboration is good news not only for us but it will also allow us to help a few people earn a modest, but hopefully, regular income.

Activities 2020:
2020 was also a difficult year for Cookie from Amsterdam.
We landed in the middle of the Corona crisis precisely at the moment when we were about to start the ‘cooking with chefs’ project at the homeless shelter De Kloof, in collaboration with the company Just Horeca.
Instead, Mariska began volunteering at the Stoelenproject’s overnight shelter. A couple of times a month she worked behind the bar along with other volunteers and once a month prepared meals for a small group of 30 homeless Amsterdammers. In November and December she and her daughter Robin did this together. Cookie from Amsterdam provided the ingredients for themeals.
In November 2020 we had our first frost. Our intention was to be able to provide warm sleeping bags to the homeless but unfortunately with such low revenues this was simply not possible. That did not stop us though. We came into contact with Harco Socks (www.harco-socks.nl/) who were prepared to donate 100 pair warm thermal socks and also hats. This gave us the chance to at least do something. The donation was shared to two shelter locations, The Stoelenproject and The Kloof.
If your company is able, like Harco Socks, to donate such items as warm socks, hats, sleeping bags, winter coats, underclothes, or shoes, we will happily come and pick them up.
We hope to be back at work in 2021 so that we can offer even more support!
