It was the Snickerdoole Candle that I first sent to partner, Cathy Mahady prior to her joining me in business. Later, when we talked — I became aware she wasn’t familiar with the recipe. I shared it with her and these cookies became a regular treat for her family. Unfortunately, this scent was retired from our line … but the cookies are still very yummy!

Too funny.
That is right, every Christmas we make the Snickerdoodle cookies – it has become a family tradition.
I have two of the discontinued Snickerdoodle jars –
one I will always keep as a reminder of my start in the business
the other I’ll burn when I make my first million! — or when I am retired, like the scent. LOL
