Emily and her friend Maddie started a little cookie business late springtime. The name of the company is The Cookie Jar. Every other week they email friends and neighbors on the street to see who may want a dozen cookies that week. So far they have made snickerdoodles, chocolate chip, m&m, chocolate sugar covered, among many more. They charge $3 a dozen….it’s been a bunch of fun for these 2 budding bakers.
