I took my first successful batch of “the cookies” to work with me. My coworkers loved them and encouraged me to start selling them. I opened an online cookie shop called “Sweet Chip Cookies” and listed my newly created cookies as the main item I sold. I also created a customizable listing, where you could tell me what your definition of the perfect cookie was and I would create it for you.

Did you want a thin and crispy cookie with dark chocolate chips and walnuts? How about a thick and chewy cookie with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips? This idea became a fast hit. Soon I had a full-blown online cookie shop, complete with a variety of my favorite flavors as well as a way to create your own.
