This was a last minute decision that couldn't have turned out better! We sold out of 400 pickle cookies! Luckly I had some clearance cookies to carry us through day 2, but the highlight of the even for me was a lady coming back to purchase 10 more of them because she loved them that much. This also turned into one of my friend's favorite cookies. It was a "dill-lightful" outcome!

We had such a fun time creating these cookies! We filled the center of our hat cookies with colored icing so that when you break it open, it reveals what color you got. We also introduced our brown butter sugar cookie, which has an added caramel flavor and caramelized white chocolate along with actual browned butter. I was ill-prepared, and sold out of the hat cookies....twice! I do not usually do cookie production during a selling weekend. However, I had to tell my mom to fire up the oven and prepare some more cookies to decorate because I did not want to go into day 2 not having more hat cookies. We were up until 3 AM, but the effort was worth it! I'm so glad everyone enjoyed this cookie experience. It definitely inspired me on the next cookie projects we decided to undertake.

I say "almost" because I only attended Canterbury Village's Holiday Stroll for one evening to realize "baby, it's cold outside!" I was hoping to have a warmer setup, but it didn't end up working out. Even though we put in a lot of work for this Christmas lineup, I believe it was still worth it in the end. We developed our Hot Cocoa Cookie: a chocolate cookie with a marshmallow flavored icing formulated with the flavor of hot chocolate in mind. It took us 6 batches of cookies to get the recipe just right. We also introduced mini cookies to our lineup because I just had to try it, and now I'm hooked.
