Sharon’s Secret Cookie Recipe

Everyone asks us… “Who makes the cookies?” The answer to that question is our friend Sharon. She showed up at our first sale in 2004 with a plate of cookies and stood in the doorway welcoming all of our new friends with cookies and business cards. She has remained with us and still bringing cookies each Saturday for the hungry masses.

Sharon bakes 30 dozen cookies each week- for each sale, Wow that is a lot of cookies!

The cookie recipes on this website are our favorite ones; and can be found in several cook books published over the years and are called a variety of names.
