Easily the best part of my job is that I get to do it here in Boston. If you’ve been following us for more than 15 minutes, you probably know that we have a LOT of cookies with Boston inspiration. When I tell people how I quit my job because I had a game day superstition with cookies and that the Bruins won the Stanley Cup and I quit my job and started a cookie company, they usually respond with that’s the most Boston story ever.

March's Cookie of The Month is a cool collaboration we did with Grand Ten Distilling It's actually something we did last summer, but it's an awesome reminder of why I absolutely love what I do.

A few years back, before Top Shelf Cookies was more than a cookie company in my brain, I took a trip to King Arthur Flour Company for a class with my cousin Annette. Annette is probably one of the nicest people on planet earth. When I moved to down here from New Hampshire, Annette looked out for me. Quickly we realized we had a common love of baking and mostly baking chocolate things. She...
I entered a cookie contest. I figured it might be a good way to find out if other people liked my cookies or if my friends were just really good friends.
Yesterday, I reflected a lot about what I'm thankful for. I'm so thankful for the opportunity to make my dream a reality. Baking cookies for a living is a pretty awesome job.
