Experiments on Dairy Free Cookies

I wasn’t going to experiment with the cookies any more, especially once I had the perfect recipe. Now why did I determine something as silly as that, I never let experimenting go! So when a guy said that he would love to have the cookies without dairy, as he is lactose intolerant, my challenge was on.


Last Saturday I had a special order for someone at the Farmers market so I decided to also make a batch of cookies without butter. We tried them and although they were a little different, they were quite good. I packaged them up and took them along also to the market. I gave the cookies to various people to try and received orders on the spot.

Now we have a new line of cookies to work with.

Marketing the Cookies

While in Northern Cal Jen and I spent one morning just marketing our cookies. We left cookies off at several places and stores but then got hungry for lunch. We stepped into the Redwood Café in Cotati, a place where we have eaten over the years.


As we got out of the car I grabbed a cookie just in case. When we were ordering I mentioned that I had gluten free cookies and gave the cashier one. The owner came in soon after, they ate the cookie and he ordered a case on the spot. He has now ordered another case for his other café. Funny how it goes.
