Quick update, and some thank you's!

Sorry we haven't updated much we've been a little busy lately, in the best possible way! Our Facebook page and fan page has really blown up quick thanks to all our friends who have have been supporting us. Apparently a good idea, plus a free social networking site is the best way to start up a business! So we've been busy, because we've been getting orders! After 1 week we have orders in for the next two weeks, and it's for over $150. Can't pay the rent with it yet, but we're working on it!

We have had a lot of cookie breakthroughs lately, and the response from people at our "real" jobs have been really positive, so it's encouraging, plus we have come to learn that we are addicted to our own cookies, and that's always a good sign!

I have to run of to said real job now, but before I do I really want to thank some people who have been helping us out. Our families, of course. They have been supportive since day one, and are probably our number one fans right now.

Our friend Rebecca Teran has been our #1 fan in Portland since the first batch of cookies we made. She's always there to give us an honest opinion, and thankfully, rides to Costco and Ikea for supplies (you can't do everything on bike!)

We have had friends who have donated equipment like a Kitchen Aid Mixer, and professional bake pans. Most of what we use to bake on and with, aside from ingredients, have been donated or given as birthday gifts by friends.

Our friend Dustin Dybevik had been gracious enough to be our graphic designer for not much more than cookies, but we promised to pimp his skills out, and soon you will see his work up on our Facebook, and someday website (check out his work now at bloodtoe.com)

And last we want to thank every friend and family member who has been with us from the start since last February, and all our new friends and family who are learning about this, and supporting us for the first time. We have had an overwhelmingly positive response to our Facebook fan and friend page, people have been telling everyone they know about us, and it's been working! Thank you all so much for all your help, and remember, get your cookie orders in, cause our schedules filling up fast!

The Dude

Today we perfected our white-russian teacake. Get this: it is a creamy spin on the classic teacake, with a hidden chocolate covered espresso bean in the middle... and then we dip it in a Kahlua glaze. It is unreal! The first taste tester was blown away and we cannot stop eating them. Looking forward to sharing them with all of you!! Pictures to come!

Get Your Holiday Orders In!

Here's a menu of cookies available to order now! The more you buy, the more you save. We don't have set prices right now, but it's about $10 dozen, and chances are we'll cut you a pretty sweet deal!

-The Pascal: The most perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie you've ever had. So what's so special about a Chocolate Chip Cookie? Our cookie has triple chocolate chunks in them: White, Milk, and Dark. Did we mention this cookie is HUGE?

-The 39th Ave. Cookie: We have to give it up to Trader Joe's for this cookie, the inspiration was all them, and the surrounding area of course. We took the boring chocolate chip cookie, and gave it a face lift. Instead of chocolate chips, we add mini peanut butter cups (Thanks TJ's!), we use half flour, half ground up oatmeal, and add a slight dash of Cinnamon to round it all out. Yeah, it's pretty much the best cookie ever... and also why we had to give it it's own name, cause that description is a mouth full

-Chai Oatmeal Cookies: This is the cookie that started it all! A chewy oatmeal cookie, a little sweet, and a lot of spice, this cookie is good in the morning with a cup of coffee...or a hot cup of Chai perhaps?

-Chai Sugar Cookies, with a Chai Glaze: Don't worry, not every cookie has Chai Tea in it, but we couldn't resist using it again since it worked so well the first time. This cookie is sugar, and spice, and everything nice, for real.

-The Whopper-Doodle: Take the classic Snicker Doodle, add some ground up Whopper candy to the dough, roll it in ground up whopper candy, sugar, and cinnamon. Enjoy

Cookies For A Cause!

We donated some cookies to my co-worker Walter, who will be selling cookie pedalers sweet treats tomorrow to raise money to pay off some vet bills for his dog (who's so cute!) Stop by the garage/bake sale tomorrow: 4819 ne Cleveland blvd. He'll be selling the Pascal and the Chai Oatmeal...get them before they're gone!

Whoa Cookies!

This has been a crazy week!

Cookie Pedalers are about to hit the ground running. I put in my two weeks notice a few days ago, so that Teal and I can really get Cookie Pedalers going (and for other reasons).

 Our good friends Nitiya and Malia got Teal baking supplies for her birthday, so we're really just waiting to figure out where the money's going to come from for ingredients, and we're set!

I have to run to work, but I just wanted to give a short update.

Love and Cookies!
