I believe that COOKIES decorated or otherwise possess superpowers. They have the power to take us back to places in our past while accompanying us on new journeys and traditions.

For nine years through high school and college I had the privilege of working at a bakery in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It was there, from a group of beloved women, that I was first introduced to the art of decorating cookies. In addition, they taught me about mixing, baking, decorating, packaging and selling baked goods. Most importantly though they shared with me the joy of being together while doing something we loved.
