Buying butter cookies online makes it possible to choose a thoughtful food gift without being limited to what is available in a nearby supermarket. You can compare flavours, read the ingredient and allergen information, choose a single gift tin or a larger pack, and arrange delivery directly to the recipient.
Lowrey Butter Cookies are made in New Zealand and packed in distinctive red gift tins. Their texture is delicate, very fragile and melt-in-the-mouth—not hard or crunchy. Orders are prepared in Auckland for delivery within New Zealand and to eligible international destinations.
Why Buy Butter Cookies Online?
Online ordering is particularly useful when you are buying for someone who lives in another city or country. Instead of purchasing the cookies locally, repacking them and arranging a separate courier, you can place the order through the Lowrey Foods website and enter the recipient’s address at checkout.
Shopping online also gives you time to compare the full range. Each Lowrey tin contains one flavour, so you can choose according to the recipient rather than settling for whatever happens to be available in a shop.
- Compare all six Lowrey Butter Cookie flavours in one place.
- Review current ingredients, allergens, net weight and availability before ordering.
- Choose individual gift tins or fixed multi-tin packs.
- Send the order directly to a home, office or family address.
- View the delivery services and charges currently available for the destination at checkout.

Six Butter Cookie Flavours to Choose From
Lowrey currently makes six butter cookie flavours. Each flavour has its own recipe, so the cultured butter content, net weight and additional ingredients vary between products.
| Flavour | Net weight | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Original | 430g | The signature Lowrey recipe, made with 42% New Zealand cultured butter and four simple ingredients. |
| Coffee | 430g | Made with 44% New Zealand cultured butter, with a gentle coffee aroma and a light cocoa note. |
| Chocolate | 430g | New Zealand cultured butter and Dutch cocoa give this flavour a rich but balanced chocolate character. |
| Matcha | 430g | Made with New Zealand cultured butter and matcha from Shizuoka, Japan, with a gentle green tea finish. |
| Raspberry | 430g | Made with 41% New Zealand cultured butter and 2.3% freeze-dried raspberry for a bright, lightly tangy fruit flavour. |
| Black Sesame | 360g | Made with 36% New Zealand cultured butter and 10% black sesame for a distinctive roasted sesame flavour. |
Original is the clearest introduction to Lowrey’s cultured-butter recipe. Coffee and Chocolate make familiar gifts, while Matcha, Raspberry and Black Sesame suit recipients who enjoy more distinctive flavours.
Availability can change, particularly for larger orders. Check the individual product pages for current stock, prices, ingredients and allergen information.
One Flavour in Every Tin
Each Lowrey Butter Cookie tin contains one flavour. The cookies are not mixed inside the tin.
Fixed multi-flavour packs contain several separate tins, with one flavour in each tin. The included flavours are listed on the relevant product page and are not selected at random.
This makes it easier to give individual tins to different people or open one flavour at a time. It also prevents the aromas of stronger flavours, such as Coffee or Black Sesame, from changing the taste of more delicate varieties.
Made in New Zealand
Lowrey Butter Cookies are made in New Zealand with New Zealand cultured butter. Depending on the flavour, cultured butter accounts for 36% to 44% of the recipe.
The cookies are handcrafted in small batches rather than made through large-scale continuous production. This approach helps produce their fine, melt-in-the-mouth structure, although it also means the cookies are naturally more fragile than hard commercial biscuits.
No artificial preservatives are added. The actual ingredients vary by flavour, so the relevant product page and packaging label should always be checked before purchase or consumption.
Gift-Ready Red Tins
Lowrey Butter Cookies are presented in rigid red gift tins measuring approximately 20cm across and 5cm high. The cookies are sealed inside their retail packaging before the lid is closed.
The tin gives the gift a finished appearance without requiring elaborate wrapping. It can be sent for birthdays, family visits, holidays, client gifts, staff gifts or simply as a thank-you.
A tin usually contains approximately 38–45 cookies. The actual number varies according to the flavour, cookie shape and the natural differences between handcrafted batches.
Shipping Lowrey Butter Cookies
Online orders are prepared in Auckland and sent to addresses within New Zealand and eligible international destinations. Lowrey currently ships to more than 60 countries and regions, although service availability depends on the complete delivery address.
Enter the destination address at checkout to see the courier options, shipping charges and final order total currently available. Remote-area coverage and transit times vary, so the checkout page provides the most reliable confirmation for a particular address.

Order preparation, destination, customs processing, public holidays, flight availability and courier conditions can all affect delivery time. For this reason, Lowrey does not promise one fixed delivery period for every country.

Will the Cookies Arrive Unbroken?
The texture that makes Lowrey Butter Cookies melt so readily is also what makes them fragile. They are not intended to have the firm, crunchy structure of a hard biscuit.
The red tin provides support and international orders are packed with care. Even so, no tin or shipping carton can guarantee that every cookie will remain intact if a parcel is dropped, compressed or handled roughly during transit.
If an order arrives damaged, inspect all affected tins and contact Lowrey within five calendar days of delivery. Keep the outer carton and internal packaging, and provide the order number together with clear photographs of the parcel, packaging and affected products.
Shelf Life and Storage
Unopened Lowrey Butter Cookies have a shelf life of approximately nine months. The best-before date printed on the product packaging is the final guide for the tin you receive.
Store unopened tins in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture. After opening, reseal the internal packaging and close the tin firmly. For the best flavour and texture, consume the cookies within four weeks of opening.
Unopened tins can also be frozen for up to 12 months when the entire tin is placed inside a well-sealed freezer bag. Allow it to return to room temperature before opening so that condensation does not form on the cookies.
Ingredients and Allergens
Lowrey Butter Cookies contain milk and wheat. Other ingredients and allergens vary by flavour and may include cocoa, coffee, matcha, raspberry, sulphites or sesame.
The Original Butter Cookies are made with an egg-free recipe. However, customers should not assume that every Lowrey product has exactly the same ingredient or allergen profile.
The production environment also handles peanuts, almonds and other nuts. If you are buying for someone with a food allergy or a specific dietary requirement, read the current product page and the packaging label carefully.
Butter Cookies for Gifts and Special Occasions
A food gift is often easiest to appreciate when it can be opened and shared. Lowrey’s red tins work well for family visits, birthdays, Christmas and New Year, Lunar New Year, thank-you gifts and office occasions.
A single tin is suitable for an individual or household. Fixed multi-tin packs are more practical when sending several flavours to one family or buying gifts for a number of recipients.
For client gifts, staff gifts, events and wholesale supply, Lowrey also accepts corporate and bulk enquiries. Corporate orders start from five cartons, with 12 tins in each carton, giving a minimum order of 60 tins. Flavours, stock, pricing, preparation time and delivery arrangements must be confirmed before ordering.
Buying Butter Cookies Online: What to Check Before Ordering
Before placing an order, take a moment to confirm the details that matter for your purchase:
- Check the selected flavour and number of tins.
- Read the current ingredient and allergen information.
- Confirm the delivery address, including the postcode and apartment or unit number.
- Review the currency, shipping charge and final total at checkout.
- Allow additional time when ordering for a holiday or fixed event date.
- If sending a gift, make sure the recipient knows that a parcel is expected.
A little preparation is especially important for international gifts, where customs processing and local courier conditions may affect delivery.
