Carrie started Cookies by Carrie in January of 2020. She was making cookies for family and friends in the beginning, and she specializes in gluten-free cookies because of family members' need for them. Once May came around and Covid didn't want to leave anytime soon, she was laid off.
Fortunately, she can make some amazing cookies and always wanted to have a cookie making business, it worked out perfect. She started the business to make an income and to keep her time occupied. As of now she is staying busy by word of mouth but will soon branch out getting a website to show off her beautiful cookies. She made one comment I thought was very true, "Everyone loves cookies especially homemade cookies."
I asked if she is going to go back to work? She said, "It all depends on how the cookie sales go. As of right now, it's a great stress reliever and I can zone everything else out." I did ask if she eats all of the cookies and has to taste test them, and she said, "only the ones that fall off the plate, haha, and my husband is the taste tester." And this is why I personally don't make cookies at all because I would be the one eating all of them, regardless if they fell on the floor.
I asked if and when things go back to normal, what is the plan. She said, "I am optimistic and I think everything will go back to as normal as possible. As for the cookie business, I think we will all have the ability to eat them for a long time."
