My Facebook friends are a bad influence. One of them has decided to bake a different cookie everyday for the next 100 days. I love this idea, but the reality is, I don't think I could keep up that pace, even giving away all those cookies. I've decided to try one new batch a week. Yesterday I tweaked a sugar cookie recipe. I wasn't that impressed but DH really seems to love them. I thought they spread out too much, but that's what using butter will do. I'm not a fan of shortening or margarine.
Another FB friend mentioned she was stopping at the "Cookie Cottage." I loved the sound of that. I Googled and discovered its a cookie company, selling really expensive cookies. How much would you spend on a chocolate chip cookie?
I had the thought I would love to have a little cookie shop, in our cute little historical village, but the reality is, I can't see it being profitable. People in my town would not pay what the "Cookie Cottage" charges, and I'm guessing to keep a cookie shop in business, you would need to charge $2 a cookie.
I wish I could figure out what home business to start. I really want to show the boys how to be entrepreneurs, but I can't find a way to turn our passions into paychecks. We'll keep brainstorming.

I was in the cake business for quite a few years - the last four with my own little bakery. Food service is HARD WORK. I was never so happy to get out of it. I was successful, I was happy the first three years and miserable the last year. Found a great job and sold out! Try something that doesn't involve food!! LOL
100 new recipes, thats alot of baking and alot of work everyday. But there will be some great recipes to share and its great to hear reviews to learn how the recipe worked out
That's some challenge to bake 100 different cookies. I only make a few kinds. Good for you for trying one a week:)
I would think the cookie store would be hard. Better choice might be making cookie trays. My sister did this out of her house for a while. People would place orders for the get togethers + she would make up trays for them. Don't know what headaches working out of your house would be with board of health + stuff.
I think baking is fun but when I'm in the process of keeping up my weight and losing the rest that is left I couldn't go for these Cookies Baking projects, even if your cookies look very delicious! :-)
I love facebook....look me up there...Lisa Kohlhofer...The batch of cookies a week sounds great...We have an amazing cookie shop near my house. It is called "the cookie Lady" They don't have a ton of different cookies but they have amazing sugar cookies with real cream cheese frosting....I will have to pay closer attention to their prices and let you know about them....yummmmmm
