As a little girl, my aunt lived across the street from the Washington St. Bakery. As kids, we would simply walk next door and get THE best cut out cookies with a glaze and sugar sprinkles that melted into the glaze. My cousins and I would beg the owners for more cookies, and they were always delighted to bring us smiles and come around the counter to hand deliver them. For years we tried to recreate them and the hint of almond we knew was there. They were magic.
So one day (years ago) we tried out Andrew’s. I had heard that someone in his family knew the owners and he got their recipe. I was transported to 1982 at first bite. There weren’t melting sugar sprinkles on top but everything else was identical. Pure nostalgia. The kind of stuff hard to find in America today. Small town, handed down recipes perfected with trial and time.
I can call Andrew’s the day before and end up with 3 dozen cut-out cookies the next day, in a pretty-in-pink box. I buy in bulk to freeze these treats for holidays and company…and because I can sneak one when I’m needing a friendly reminder that nothing ever leaves us…it just changes form. So the Washington street cookies are now Andrew’s and I just soak up the nostalgia and memories.
Thank you, Andrew and team, for staying a home town gem. Your dedication is unmatched. Pass it on, hand it down, and keep it strictly a Marion secret!

I love the raspberry thumb print cookies or so I believe that’s what they’re called 😄💞

Andrew's Pastries has the best donuts around, homemade, and as for his political views, everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

Love this place! They have brownies with sugar on the bottom! It's reminiscent of what Beuhler's used to have in their bakery back in the late 90s early 00s. Since they stopped selling them like that, I hadn't seen it anywhere since. Until now! Highly recommend coming here. Will be back. Excited to try more things!
