Sister2Sister Cookies: Come Taste

In Tyler, Texas, there is a kiosk where the smells of dough and heaven are made, combined, and then eaten. It’s Sister2Sister Cookies, where all drivers are getting intoxicated on milk and cookies.

Every morning of operation, when the sun is just out and eyes are first opening, they put small batches together of chocolate chip, pecan chocolate chip, and snickerdoodle. I’ve worked in bakeries and the smell they possess can be exotic and overwhelming, but can you begin to imagine what a tiny kiosk must smell like in the early morning with those three cookies rising?

Close your eyes and let your taste buds have a hint of warm chocolate. Let your nose pant a little. Then, just as your jaw is ready to explode, place the smell of white chocolate macadamia nut in your imagination as well, because that’s coming right soon.

Sister2Sister Cookies is the tasty creation of Ashley Randall and Melissa Bennett, who have actually been making their cookies fresh baked to order for six years. They started in a commercial kitchen with too many orders to handle. They took samples to local events and businesses. Enough people spreading the word to others when they themselves didn’t have a mouthful of cookie garnered the need to expand, and from there everything fell into place.

If you want less of a wait, drive thru in the late morning and mid afternoon. Lunch can get crazy for those wanting dessert, and in the afternoon from 3-5 they offer the After School Special, milk and a cookie for $2.50, even in summer.

  

‘Our love of baking goes back many generations! Our personal recipe collections are filled with favorite family recipes from our mom, dad, grandmothers, great grandmothers, aunts and cousins. Growing up with roots in Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee, we were never short on goodies and treats at family gatherings. So it wasn’t a surprise when we stumbled upon a chocolate chip cookie recipe that we loved. We modified it a bit, made some changes here and there and made it our own. It’s been our “go to” recipe for everything from baby showers, teacher gifts, and work functions to birthday parties, Christmas gifts, and meetings. It’s been requested time and time again so we thought it must be pretty special.’ –Sister2Sister
