Baking in the Fall always brings me back to the early days of Fancypants Bakery. It was during the month of October that I first dreamed of opening a cookie company, and the cool weather made it an ideal time to experiment with recipes. We used to bake at night and then share samples with friends and family during the weekend. I remember doling out cookies at field hockey games, tailgating parties and other fun gatherings, and eagerly taking notes on what everyone liked the most. A clear favorite was our Molasses Spice Gourmet Cookies. The cookies are chewy, spicy and still a personal favorite!
The cookies taste great on their own, but I also know that customers also enjoy them with other treats. One customer told me she loved to put a dollop of ice cream between two cookies and make a sandwich! Sounds delicious!
