Sheila+Sharon's Cookies was started by myself and my identical twin sister, Sharon, in April 2009. Our cookies are lovingly made using local and organic ingredients. We currently make six kinds of cookies: snickerdoodle, chocolate chip,and drunken oatmeal raisin, peanut butter, chocolate espresso, and pretzel logic.
This is the second business that I've started, and the first with my sister. After the failure of my first business, I honestly didn't think I would start another one, but here I am, trying once more. Currently we are overcoming the obstacles of not enough time (we both work day jobs), not enough money, and no transportation. I make deliveries to our two wholesale accounts via public transportation. For all the struggles that we've gone through and continue to go through, I wouldn't change a thing. I get do something I'm passionate about (baking), meet interesting people at the events we participate in, and turn out quality products that make people happy. What more could I ask for?
