It's the simple things...

Having to make decisions, it’s all a part of life right? Sometimes it’s hard enough for me to choose between my closed toe pumps or peek toe flats. And to make it even harder, there's Gwyneth missing her sliding doors by a split second completely altering the course of her life! But at least we all go through it together. We all have decisions to make and unfortunately for me often the bad out number the good. I often find myself thinking how I got here. Not in this coffee shop typing this post so much or even here in San Diego, but to this point in my life, where every day is a new adventure and filled with numerous decisions that may or may not alter the course of my life. Talk about stress! Okay maybe a little over dramatic but do you ever wonder how your life would be different had you choose not to take that job or date that boy or even go that party or for me, quit your job to start a cookie company? Maybe that’s why I chose to stuff truffles inside of cookies. It just got too hard to decide between the two! If only everything in life were that simple...or maybe it really is.

Here’s a decision that isn’t a hard one to make. Do spicy and chocolate go together? Oh I think so! Cayenne dark chocolate truffle stuffed cookie. The newest addition to the truffie collection!

(The picture kinda sucks cause it's from my phone but you get the point)

AND since it was kickstarter that's inspired me to start baking, blogging and pursuing again, as a special thank you, every backer will also get this new flavor to try with your pledge! Thanks again!

Not like grandma used to make

Cookies aren't just for kids anymore. Sure we love that nostalgic feeling and that awesome smell that takes over when we pull a fresh baked batch of chocolate chip cookies out of the oven, but they can also be so much more! I feel like cookies have been so pigeoned hole into just your basic chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin or peanut butter cookie that that's all we expect out of a cookie these days. And when we think of a store bought cookie we think crumbly, crispy and dry. Poor cookie! No one has really taken the time to see what else they can do. Don't get me wrong, I do still love an oatmeal raisin cookie and those white chocolate macadamia's are sooo good but oh they can be so much more! We make all kinds of gourmet cupcake flavors, baskin robbins has 31 flavors but I've heard they gone through over 1,000, and I don't even know how many ways we've manage to spice up a good old fashioned cheesecake. I think it's time to do the same for the cookie. And that's what we intend to do. Creating cookie experiences like you've never experienced before. For my first experiment, I'm thinking of either a coconut lime cookie or a honey lemon cookie. Any suggestions?
