Mrs. Fields Sugar Cookies

Discover our family’s sweet adventures with Mrs. Fields — from baking Christmas sugar cookies in 2014 to trying delicious Cookie Nibblers in 2015. Perfect for cookie lovers and holiday bakers!

Creating Sweet Memories with Mrs. Fields

Every Christmas, our family enjoys completing our Advent calendar — 24 days of small activities that build up the holiday excitement. But let’s be honest, it’s not always easy! Sometimes, we skip a few days because we’re already too tired — activities like “watch a favorite Christmas movie,” “record a Christmas song,” or “bake Christmas cookies.”

Mrs. Fields Sugar Cookies 

It was December 23, 2014, and I was exhausted. But my son was excited to bake, especially since he wanted a Christmas tree–shaped cookie. Thankfully, I had a Mrs. Fields Sugar Cookie Mix I’d bought during our field trip in Subic — perfect for a quick and easy holiday treat. 

It was my first time trying the Mrs. Fields instant cookie mix. I followed the instructions carefully, but somehow, the dough came out too runny — impossible to roll out or cut with cookie cutters! I ended up using a scoop to make round cookies, but my son insisted on his Christmas tree shape. 

That’s when my husband had a genius (and funny) idea — he pressed the soft dough directly inside the cookie cutter and baked it that way.  It actually worked! My son finally got his Christmas tree cookie, and seeing his happy face made all the effort worth it. 

The cookies turned out soft and tasty, even if they weren’t perfect. More importantly, that day reminded me that baking with kids is really about making memories, not perfect cookies. Still, I promised myself I’d look for a sugar cookie recipe that works better with cookie cutters next time!

One of the most memorable moments from our 2014 Advent calendar was definitely the “bake cookies” day — even though it didn’t go exactly as planned!

Update: Mrs. Fields Cookie Nibblers (2015)

Fast forward to August 2015, and Mrs. Fields made another sweet appearance in our lives — this time, not in our kitchen but at Alabang Town Center.

After one of my therapy sessions, we went to check out LazerXtreme. My husband heard about it from a coworker, and my son was so excited to try it. We arrived early, waited for the mall to open, only to find out that LazerXtreme had already closed! They had stopped operating in ATC, and their only remaining branch was at Market! Market! — too far for a quick trip, especially since I had a webinar scheduled that afternoon. 

My son was disappointed, so I tried to cheer him up with a little treat. That’s when I remembered — Mrs. Fields was having a one-day anniversary promo! I’d seen their kiosk at ATC many times but had never bought anything, so it felt like the perfect time to try.

I bought a dozen of their famous Cookie Nibblers for ₱76, and oh my — they were delicious! The nibblers tasted just like Ghirardelli’s Triple Chocolate Cookies — chewy, chocolatey, and best enjoyed with a glass of milk. My son loved them, too!

I wished I’d bought more, especially since the promo was only ₱38 for half a dozen. At the regular price of ₱150 per dozen, they’re a bit pricey for their size (isang kagat lang talaga!), but still, it was worth it for the experience. These cookie nibblers became a fun reminder of that unexpected, cookie-filled afternoon.

Sweet Lessons from Mrs. Fields 

From our Christmas Eve baking experiment in 2014 to our cookie nibbler discovery in 2015, Mrs. Fields has been part of our family’s sweetest little moments. 

Whether it’s mixing dough that doesn’t quite cooperate or enjoying ready-made treats from the kiosk, one thing remains the same — it’s all about sharing joy, laughter, and a little sweetness together.
