Does Size Matter?

Suddenly my dreams of a cookie business actually seem within reach. I found a commercial kitchen available for rent, researched the real start up costs and am talking about it to anyone who will listen.

Last night I got out all four of my cookie scoops...from small to extra large and experimented on a batch of Toasted Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies. Does size really matter? I decided to find out. I began with the extra large scoop...looks kind of like a standard ice cream scoop. Increasing the cooking time slightly for the larger size, I baked two pans with very good results. I think this size may work best for single cookie sales at the farmer's market. Problem is one batch only yields about 16 LARGE cookies. Next step...pricing. I will have to get back to you on that one.

Many hugs,

The Cherry On Top

Last night I baked cookies to be included in a Mother's Day goody basket raffled to raise money for breast cancer research. My friend Carolynn asked if I would be willing to donate some HeartSong Cookies. Of course! I was honored. I baked Dark Chocolate with Sour Cherries Cookies and Mixed Nut Chocolate Chunk Cookies and dropped them off this morning. This afternoon I learned that the basket raised over $2,300. The basket was filled with lots of gift cards and goodies. My cookies seemed like such an insignificant contribution, but Carolynn made me feel much better. She said my cookies were like the cherry on top.

Many hugs,

Kathy
