About Me

I am a CPA who has a passion for baking!  I have always said that it would be my dream to get paid to bake treats in the kitchen all day.... Why not pursue that dream, right?


I have decided to test the waters with this little dream of mine and that is how The Cookie Counter was born!  I am still a full-time CPA at a large firm that definitely keeps me busy, but the thing about having a passion is that you don't mind giving up some of your free time to do it!  So when I am not in the office crunching numbers, I am in the kitchen cranking out sweets!
 


If you are interested in ordering some sweets, please contact me at: contactcookiecounter@gmail.com


Please email me with the type of treats you want to order (i.e., custom cupcakes, sugar cookies, cake balls, etc.), the date you will need them by, and the approximate number you will need.  Once I have that information, I will let you know whether or not I can fulfill the order and will give you a price estimate.

Confections are made to order and since I am a full-time CPA and part-time baker, I ask for at least a 14 day notice so that I can plan my work schedule accordingly.

Amish Friendship Bread & Printable Instructions

Click here to download SMALL Batch instructions.    Click here to download FULL Batch instructions. Anybody ever head of this?!?  Well the other day I was in the break room at work getting water and saw three bags of cream colored mush... Now I had seen these bags several weeks back and didn't pay much attention to them, but these strange looking bags were back, so I decided to stop and read the paper attached to them and saw "Amish Friendship Bread" with strange instructions like "Mush the Bag." Well still not really sure what the bag of goo was, I went back to Google, and read up on it.  It is similar to a chain letter, in the sense that once you get it, you must pass 3 more along.  So this bag of mush is really an active yeast mixture that is supposedly passed down from generation to generation steaming only from the Amish. Now I don't know how true this is, but it has definitely been circulating around my office for a month or so now.  Ev...

Failed Toffee Making = Toffee Cookies

Have you ever made homemade toffee ? Well I recently attempted to make homemade toffee and it was semi unsuccessful the first round with my toffee separating from the butter creating an extra greasy layer around my toffee. However, the toffee itself was very good. So I managed to clean up most of the excess butter and chopped the toffee to be used in my favorite chocolate chip recipe, and so we have toffee chip cookies! Toffee Chip Cookies, adapted from America's Test Kitchen 2 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup sugar 1 large egg 1 large egg yolk 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/2 cup toffee 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (I used Hershey's Special Dark) Sea salt for garnish (1) Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
